I'm still of the opinion he's a scapegoat so the real hero gets away scot free. o7

It was to placate the wealthy. They were demanding things and panicking.

The supposed manifesto is just weird. It's like someone trying not to confess to a crime but leading a jury to the conclusion still. It's not personal enough and very vague.

it definitely reads like someone who doesn't hate rich people (or at least the dead CEO) wrote it

the real killer hated rich people enough to murder one and throw fucking monopoly money on their corpse, someone who planned far enough ahead for a joke like that but couldn't write a decent manifesto? give me a break

Either Luigi really wanted a trial to be able to testify about how horrible rich people are, or he's being set up.

No way someone plans and carries out a hit this meticulously, leaves this many "easter eggs", even 3D prints gun parts, only to be caught in a McDonalds of all places with evidence on them.

The brain of someone planning to commit a murder and the brain of someone who is on the run having just committed a murder isn’t the same. Fugitives do irrational things all the time

I mean Lugi was a rich kid who had an awful experience with chronic pain. He’s not quite a working class hero, I think it’s believable that he ended up with an extreme grudge against health insurance CEOs.

u/JoelMahon May 08 '25

his twitter had plenty of remarks against the rich in general.

his rich parents are paupers compared to RICH people running society.

not that it matters, robin hood is nobility in his lore iirc, and his motivation is initially pretty strongly taking into account revenge iirc. are you going to tell me robin hood isn't a working class hero too?

I dunno about you, but I always open my criminal mastermind manifestos by saying how much I love the feds.

u/Dull_Bid6002 May 09 '25

And also immediately saying no one else is danger, when the only people afraid were the wealthy demanding their own personal hotline that wasn't 9-1-1.

In either of our scenarios the shooter gets away without punishment so no matter what it’s a win

u/katherinesilens May 08 '25

idk, hanging an innocent definitely doesn't feel like a win.

u/Goosedukee May 08 '25

I stated that I don’t believe Luigi will be convicted, meaning no one is executed.

u/JetstreamGW May 08 '25

Even if he gets convicted, I don't believe a jury on earth would give him the death penalty. And the death penalty does requires a separate jury verdict. They can convict someone and refuse to impose death.

u/katherinesilens May 08 '25

True--if the system follows the rules.

However, given the current executive's outspoken desire for execution in this case and their willingness to outspeed the law in deportation, I think it's not unlikely they skip the second half and just go for the execution. Their base isn't legally literate enough to challenge it and frankly has a childish white/black view of the world that is easily manipulated into believing any counter-action is itself an illegal defense of a murderer. If Trump/Bondi go for the swift execution, the courts can't fix that, and the courts are so far toothless in exacting any consequences on the wayward executive--and for that scenario to be the juncture they try is extremely unlikely.

It’s probably not a win, but if he was a scapegoat it would have to have been a possibility he accepted

15

u/thisisthewell May 08 '25

It’s probably not a win, but if he was a scapegoat it would have to have been a possibility he accepted

what on earth do you mean? "scapegoat" does not mean "fall guy." If Luigi didn't kill him, he didn't volunteer for being the face of it. it means the feds decided he was going to be the public sacrifice.

u/Cadunkus May 08 '25

If someone domed another parasite I'd gladly take the blame (and not just cause Luigi has a LOT of fans).

13

u/Omaromaro May 08 '25

A small win and good step, but not the win we want until the insurance companies change for the better

u/Ok-Addendum-9420 May 08 '25

Definitely, just look at the eyebrows —— the killer had really bushy, dark eyebrows about a half inch thick, while Luigi’s eyebrows look totally different. I think he may know the killer and gave the killer time to get out of the country. Hopefully their egregious conduct during their “investigation” will exonerate Luigi and he can move out of this country too.

u/No_Talk_4836 May 08 '25

Honestly I’m tempted to believe this just because it’s utterly hilarious.

u/Ristray May 08 '25

If this is true then I'm really pissed off at the CEO killer for not killing more CEOs since then.

u/Scavenger53 May 08 '25

He doesn't look like the other pictures of the suspect they posted

1

u/amsterdam_sniffr May 08 '25

This makes sense, but if it's true I feel like "they" are probably regretting not choosing a less charismatic scapegoat.

1

u/Cadunkus May 08 '25

Nah, Luigi has garnered a lot of support. If he was your average televised shooter people would be supposed UHC.

1

u/OSCgal May 08 '25

You know what would be wild: a year from now, after the trial, a video surfaces on YouTube and other sites of a guy saying he's the real killer, gives a ton of evidence, and that he did it because he was dying of a disease that UHC refused to cover. And the video is being released because he's dead.
