It seems like people are adopting the Catholic doublethink strategy for Jesus about Luigi. Jesus is somehow simultaneously God and not-God, Luigi seems to be the guy who justifiably killed that CEO and was definitely framed for murder.
The guy's got to deal with the legal system and apparently they won't accept self-defense as a valid justification for icing the prick who tried to deny healthcare. So, don't have an issue with it, but it is weird to see.
Alright so I don't think Luigi actually did it. But it's easy to say "Luigi" in conversation and everyone knows who you're talking about, regardless of how they feel about his innocence.
Yeah the evidence is whack but right now the "He did something justified" is just a symbol, if it turns out someone else did it they would take over that symbolism.
