Part of it is that people are idiots and think if they keep saying "He didn't do it, wink wink" it will mean anything (other than internet points (on a site that doesn't track them...)).
Personally? I... don't know if the world is a better place with Luigi Mangione out on the streets (seriously... actually read up on him) but I also have zero qualms with someone not being punished for offing a monster.
But that isn't what is going to happen here. Some of the evidence will likely get thrown out. But there is also a LOT more evidence that we, the public, don't know about. For example, you can very much bet that a MUCH more rigorous timeline, supported by Flock(TM) camera footage, of him in NYC has been documented. That combined with the actual footage of him (allegedly) doing it and the witnesses like the taxi driver (?) and hotel clerk?
He will probably escape some of the charges. He will not be walking free. And... he'll probably get suicide'd in his cell within a year of being made an example of why you don't kill the oligarchs.
Luigi Mangione fixed most of the bugs in Civ 6 regarding the UI.
Can you elaborate? I did read some when all this started and didn't come across anything too bad.
A LOT of his social media included very weird views on human sexuality (e.g. sex toy bans) and outright praise for the unabomber. I've also seen a lot of claims that he espoused "anti-woke" ideologies but most of the sources I am finding are sketchy as hell. Although the LA Times article at least links to what I think is his twitter (that I personally can't verify as I don't have twitter)

A LOT of people want to view him as some champion of leftism. And... it is well worth remembering that a leftist political ideology does not mean much regarding views on social justice (as many people of color and trans folk can attest...). But the reality is that he probably is a lot closer to the "groyper" who shot kirk than anything else. Just another kid who got radicalized in deeply confusing and contradictory ways. And while I am not going to lose too much sleep over the outcome of HIS actions... I am increasingly terrified of how many batshit insane radicals with guns are out there whose ideology can be summed up as "4chan".
Naw Louis G didn't do it
