First it wasn’t a random guy, he went after Brian Thomson specifically.
The message is that people support what Luigi did, or perhaps they don’t condone murder but they support that the industry is fucked and they want change.
I am interested in the trial and whether any meaningful change comes from this act. Either way I think it’s pretty heroic to throw your live, a rather privileged life at that, away for what you believe in. Misguided or not.
Brian Thompson is a random guy who worked as a suit for an unethicaly company. He was immediately replaced by another suit and the company has openly denied doing anything wrong, refusing to change how unethical it still is to this day.
Polls show Luigi’s actions are not condoned by a majority of any demographic. Change in the industry won’t come from this.
Heroic is selflessly doing what is right, not selfishly doing what is emotionally pleasing.
48% of the pop feel it was justified for a random citizen to execute a guy in the street. That isn’t a majority but its more than normal fraction of 1% of the people. Its right up there with how people feel about child rapists.
Luigi’s supporters want to make an example out of Thompson so the next suit that fills his role thinks twice before choosing profit over healthcare.
If the legal consequences are minimal, then it encourages future actions by others or at least supports the semi-unspoken threat that it is likely to happen again if the ruling class keeps fucking around.
The Banality of Evil is a concept where an evil act is so spread out by bureaucrats and process, no one person feels responsible for the act. The “Just Doing My Job” excuse didn’t work at the Nuremberg trials.
Not a random guy still, but the one who brought change that denied claims at double the national average. Of course they won’t admit any wrongdoing the shareholders would crucify them. It’s too soon to tell if anything meaningful will come of his actions.
Polls? Did you check who paid for those polls. I could run a poll where it says 80% of people confirm the sky is pink, but if 80% of the respondents are colour blind can we really be sure the sky is pink. Point being don’t trust polls. Don’t trust me either by the way, I’m one person who is critically online and honestly the people against Luigi’s actions were a vast minority. On here, reddit, YouTube comments (even on Ben Shapiro’s own channel), and news reports with comments. Now full transparency that might not be indicative of all people but it sure seemed that way.
Heroic === brave
Brave = ready to face and endure danger or pain. Seems appropriate to me.

Wanna help get those numbers up?
Before I donate. How do I know the money is actually spent as proposed? I don’t know anything about the site or who raises the money.
European btw.
he comes from like one of the richest families in the country…
I’m sure his ultra right wing family is just throwing money at his defense.
If someone is trying to help; I don’t care what family they come from.
They probably are. As long as they aren’t gay rich white families will pay for most anything for their kid…
Yes, they will. It’s OK to be gay they’re rich enough to afford it. What’s not ok is being gay publicly.
Best donation I’ve ever made.
Donated, thanks
How does it benefit anyone?
Scenario where legal team is able to pull something off:
Brave man gets best legal defense imaginable because of donations
Gets off or small sentence
Shows crazy people and billionaires this could happen again and people will help the suspect out
???
More progress is made.
This reminds me of the fine Lemming that keeps posting something like “Things will not improve until the rich meaningfully fear for their lives”
That is probably correct.

Luigi’s
familyFather is RichLuigi made 6 figures with his tech job and his multiple ivy league engineering degrees
A lot of these fundraisers probably dont even end up used for his defense, some are scams
Benefits a hero
A hero who kills one random guy, changes nothing, gives 10k to the police, and lives in prison?
Why would we want that?
It’s about sending a message
Whats the message?
