They make him a martyr, we'll make him a saint.
They are determined to ensure a hung jury or nullification on a high profile case, aren't they?
The most American man currently in America. This man is a hero and a national treasure.
Standing up the inequalities that exist in the U.S. from the corporations that necessitate profits for shareholders over the lives of their insured.
America needs more Luigi’s.
- Via his second amendment rights, no less.
It's unconscionable that Luigi is sitting in prison facing the death penalty while cretins like Trump, Musk, and company can inflict policy that will kill hundreds of thousands of innocent people.
I'm beginning to doubt they even arrested and imprisoned the right guy.
- There's very little evidence that actually points to him.
  
  Did he not write a manifesto about why he did it? Or am I getting my info crossed?
- Like it’s unironically a good point to be honest idk. Seems a bit convenient if you ask me.
Hail luigi!
Turn over the evidence Karen!
Since we already have a convicted felon as president let's take this wacky timeline and have an anti capitalist president that is on death row.
(Allegedly) murders a healthcare CEO
The only thing he achieves is online liberal LARP and some fantasies from some angsty guys/girls
Gonna go against the grain here, but some of you might need to think about what was actually achieved via this kind of activism. It didn't weaken the healthcare industry or the ruling class in any way, as the murdered executive got replaced quite quickly, other healthcare executives got spooked for around a week and removed their contract info from websites - that's it. Individual or small-group "adventurist" acts like these aren't going to achieve anything.
