    This whole story is ripe for conspiracy theory. Comparable to Epstein’s arrest and suicide from back in 2020.

    Even if the national media wants the story to go away, you’re going to have Luigi enthusiasts popping up on the social fringe for years, if not decades.

      Exactly. We are a society where innocent children are gunned down in their classrooms every other day. And for once, finally, one of the gunman actually decided to smite someone who deserved it. If you’re at the point of being willing to throw your life away in an act of murderous violence, why die a villain, when you can die a hero?

      We should be building statues of Luigi.

      I can’t wait to see the NPR article titled “Luigi Mangione was [aquitted/convicted/excuted] years ago. Why do week keep hearing his name in comment sections?”, and I’ll see this NPR article like 5-6 years from now.

      Epstien died ~5 years ago, yet I still keep seeing people talking about him.
