    Reasons matter.

    I mean, you’re not going to want to scratch to hard at Luigi Mangione. He’s a few shades shy of a Zizian, himself. Luigi was deep in with the Silicon Valley Longtermists and a big fan of techno-libertarianism.

    That doesn’t mean Brian Thompson didn’t deserve to have his skull ventilated. It just means you aren’t going to want to turn the shooter into a Messiah figure.

      I think the tech bros are just trying to claim him as their own. They can’t have him. I think Luigi was mostly about volunteering at old folks homes and rehabilitating dogs rescued from fighting rings and puppy mills.
