The cops very clearly planted evidence on him because they had to make an arrest because all eyes were on them and whoever actually did the deed was making them look stupid.
Why would the real killer hero have kept the weapon on his person and traveled two states over while carrying it and a manifesto in his bag, conveniently turning the crime into a federal matter? The same guy whose bag they found in a park, filled with monopoly money? Why did the police turn off their bodycams, take Luigi's stuff, drive a block away, turn their bodycams back on, go back into the restaurant, and then arrest him?
From the moment of his arrest, even left-of-center media has been presuming his guilt without examining anything (e.g. calling him "the killer" instead of "alleged" or "accused") and then when I say he didn't do it, the nearest person chimes in with some quip that tells me they think he did do it but should go free anyway. Don't get me wrong, I would have the same attitude if he had done it. But he didn't. It makes me feel like the only sane person in the world, even among my staunchly leftist friends.

Oh! Hot dog! I feel like rather going to have one(?). Are you guys having one? Delicious, no? Well, what does The Grand Immortal Dictator think of this delicious hot dog? It’s good, yes? It’s, how you say, looking good, yes, thank you very much. I will try it myself. It’s good, yes! This is the part of the show, of the performance of The Black Parade, where it’s either an execution or an election, but I’ve started to call it an “elexecution”. Over on The Red Circle, which I can’t see right now, you’ll find some individuals there, who have committed heinous crimes. Heinous crimes. What crimes, you ask? I’m glad you asked! They dared question the longevity of The Grand Immortal Dictator! We can’t have that! We can’t have that at all! And so, upon your entrance, you received a sign, one side is red. It says yea. One side is black with red lettering, it says nay. What you’ll do now is vote on the fate of these individuals. If we shall carry out this execution and you agree, let me see the yeas! Damn. Alright, hold them up, hold them up, keep them held up, please. If you oppose this execution, let me see the nays. Scary. Uh, looks like, looks a split to me, guys, I don’t know, what do you think? Grand Immortal Dictator, what do you think? Yeah? Alright then. Umm, alright. Here we go. Roll. Ready! Aim! Fire. Merci. Merci.

B STAGE
(before war beneath the rain)
Thank you Clarice. Please make some noise for Clarice Jensen. We’re really lucky to have her, and all the Auxiliary players with us in the Draag band, that I forgot to announce today; and that’s, uh, Kayleigh Goldsworthy on the violin, Tucker Rule on the big-ass Donald Duck drum. Please make some noise for Wallows. Alright, we’re getting into this pretty quick, but, uh, I don’t—I don’t remember how long ago it was, but it was before the band broke up, we had a studio in North Hollywood, and uh, we were making a record that never came out, and this is, uh, one of the songs we really loved from it. And, it was just us in the studio, with our friend Doug McKean, he was there recording it, his family’s here tonight, I want this to go out to them. This song is called ‘The War Beneath The Rain’.
(before give em hell kid)
That was the loudest—that was the loudest ‘Not Okay’ break-post guitar solo I’ve ever heard! Thank you for being here tonight, this is our first stadium tour, which is a wild thing to say, but thank you for being here. Fuck, man. We’re gonna play some jams. [laughs] It’s weird, right? Mikey got a special bass. Michael Schulz from Fender made it for him, our dear sweet friend Michael Schulz. Mikey Way starts this next song.
(before summertime)
How you guys doing tonight? We’re having a lot of fun. I think you guys can tell we’re having a lot of fun, doing the, getting blown up and shit over there. S’just a lot of fun. Gonna play a song for you now, off Danger Days, but I’d love to see your lights up in the air. And for my love.
(before destroya)
(something) This is for you. Hello. We are not God(?). Yeah. The Destroyer.
(before nanana)
Thank you so much. Sometimes I still got shit to say, man. Roll the dice, baby! This is another song off Danger Days. We played a few from Danger Days tonight. But this is a summer jam, arguably, the second—maybe, second best summer jam of all time. It’s real easy to sing, the title’s real long. I think… that’s what we’re doing. Yah? Let’s do it!
(before venom)
Thank you! Is anybody coming tomorrow night? Sick. We wanna thank our crew, we got the best crew, and everybody that’s helped build this thing over here, in the land of Draag, a lot of amazing people, we’re very grateful for that. [weird voice] Let’s hit it. Yeah. Try it out. [normal voice] Shit, let’s go. [french accent] Zis song is from Tres Cheers for Sweet Revenge. [normal accent] It’s called ‘Thank You For The Venom’.
(before vampires)
[laughs] Agh, that shit is so slow! (something) click track, don’t worry about it, man. Yeah, we can play this shit way faster, we’ll show you. Yeah, we’ll do it again, but faster. Trust me, it’s the click track, dude. We were, like, looking at each other, did you see me doing the old-man-walker thing part—part way through? I did that shit. ‘Cause I’m funny. Vampiros. Alright, maybe tomorrow. This is my favourite. My absolute favourite My Chem song. First My Chem song ever recorded. That night, there was a storm coming, my friend slapped me in the face, and out of these speakers crawled a giant fucking bat. Spit on the Earth! Spit out the fear(?). This song is called ‘Vampires Will Never Hurt You’.
(before boy division)
It’s a good—it’s a good fucking time, man. [laughs] I lived in, uh, my family and I lived in Los Angeles for, like, sixteen years, I think. It’s like, it’s like our fucking home. Man. Uh, who was at those Forum shows? Fuck, man, those were, like, fucking wild. Those were, we played so many of them motherfuckers we kept a tally on the drum. It was just a good time. That’s my favourite venue, I think I said it when I was playing it, but, uh, my favourite venue in the world. This place isn’t bad, either. Boy… boy…
(before helena)
Thank you so much. Fuck yeah. [batman voice] Fuck yeah. [normal voice] Thank you, fucking, so much. Good news, America. Sandwiches are free. And I’m making them. And fucking deliver them, right to your doorstep! He knows what I mean. Alright. Alright, motherfuckers, we got one more song for you. Thank you so much, Los Angeles. Made our first stadium show very fucking special, thank you. For those of you who we won’t see you tomorrow, we’ll see you eventually, I have a feeling, and for those of you we will see tomorrow, maybe wear a different shirt. I might. I’ll try.
The idea of the Black Parade being forcefully resurrected before the first show, killed or kidnapped while trying to fight off the Immortal Dictator, then resurrected or brainwashed every show afterwards. But also each show showing a deteriorating band and set, signs of burning, of rot, of decay, until the Black Parade finally takes down the Dictator and finally rests in peace.
"you can't see Berlin with the sun in your eyes" as a lyric makes no sense in Dagger/Mama II, right?
But what if this is referencing the MCR concert in Berlin? Where Gerard dressed up as a clown? Like the clown who exploded during Blood?
What if it's a reference to the foolishness of the suicide-mission that assassinating the dictator would be? The foolishness that they can't see because they are blinded by hope?
Maybe the foolishness that the Fabulous Killjoys couldn't see either? If we wanna connect the Black Parade and Danger Days?
Some of the danger days comics take place in 2027 right? Is that what this is leading up to? Have I connected the dots or am I just dying of heatstroke? Possibly both.
I’m the worst person to do this cause my hearing is shit but these are the new lyrics i could catch from this video and others! If anyone can help decipher that would be amazing.
It’s nice to see you
We’ve worked very hard
We’ve got to somehow
Slip through the ___
Slim as a paper
Dark as a shed
It’s kind of funny
It goes like this
A dagger, a dagger
Please fetch me a dagger
_____(treason?)________
A delicate matter
Yes, trust me, a dagger
Is just what this plan of ours needs
We’ll sail ___ to the sunset
Abandoned his corpse by the sea
You get ___ with the sun in your eyes
(Devolves to screaming)
Trust me a dagger
Is just what this ______
(Screaming)
_______ talk to the sun
They laugh and they ___ in the sun
With tears in your eyes
We collapse on the grass
We ____________
_______________
Marianne!
Then it’s just instructing the singer to do the Liza part of Mama
i have blacked out the pyrotechnics and put a short line about what happens during that time. photos of that part are below the cut.
Warnings: Gerard is holding a prop knife during this. The colours are a bit bright on the pyrotechnics photos so you may want to lower your screen brightness.
