In some dark corners, this killer is being hailed as a hero.
By which he means all over the fucking country, which is unfortunately so covered in darkness there are no bright corners left.

European here and i see him as a hero. Many people here do. Even Rednote is full of Luigi memes in chinese of supporters from china.
This was my favorite that i saved:
Here are some:
all over the world
Luigi is a global hero. I'm European and think most people of the world can relate since they experience the same consequences of (ruthless) capitalism.
Honduran here. My GF and I are getting a Saint Luigi portrait hung up on the wall. Dude's seriously an icon.
dark corners = common folk
I think murder (first degree, premeditated, cold-blooded) is worse than that
Someone has died in both cases. So why?
LMFAO they can’t even put Luigi’s name in the headline?!
SAY HIS NAME
Luigi Mangione, actual sexiest man alive.
The article says that some man said people "in dark corners" herald him as a hero. I guess the entirety of America is in dark corners? lol. clown man.
I guess the entirety of America is in dark corners?
- Certainly looks like it's going in that direction...
- I assume you mean "the entirety of the USA"?
The majority of Americans aren't insane Nazis, despite what doomscrolling might lead you to believe.
Also in the name of pedantry, aye, "USA".
More celebration of murder as somehow "uplifting". America really is sinking.
PS: Brigading just makes you all look insecure while increasing even more the hostility level of this supposedly "uplifting" community. I personally don't care if a thousand of you downvote my comment. I'm secure in my conviction that murder is always bad. But others, maybe with more ambivalent takes, are gonna be put off by your mob mentality. And then you'll have nothing but others in your mob to tell you how right you are and maybe lessen any doubts or insecurity you have. Is that really what you want from a community? I must admit I don't get it.
How's that boot tasting?
Yawn.
How do you feel about this murder? https://apnews.com/article/wisconsin-asthma-medicine-lawsuit-walgreens-optum-8b4130ab404e513fbd68c9e02b51976b
Will you post comments asking where the justice is for this lost life?
That's very sad but it doesn't fit the definition of murder.
Will you post comments asking where the justice is for this lost life?
No, because I think murder (first degree, premeditated, cold-blooded) is worse than that, and I think it's a problem that people are excusing it.
It's clear as day to me what's going on here. You are all angry and frustrated. You're not murderers yourselves and you wouldn't do what "Luigi" did, partly because you're too cowardly, mostly because you're better people than him. But the absence of "justice" (just quoting you) in America's dysfunctional healthcare system is so egregious and so shocking (I agree: it is), that you feel the need to strike out somehow, to show how strongly you feel. And so you come here and excuse murder. Coz, wow, speaking up for an actual murder! That's pretty big, right? Basically it's a mutual support session for people who feel bad - like, really bad - about the state of American healthcare.
Personally, I don't think that excusing murder is going to get you a better healthcare system. In fact the opposite is far more likely: if political assassinations are normalized, an authoritarian backlash becomes all but inevitable. And that will push healthcare right down the list of your priorities. And all for what? For the fleeting buzz of perverted righteousness that you get from excusing the inexcusable. It's not worth it.
Believe what you want, but don't characterize opposition to your shitty opinion as "brigading".
But mass downvoting is a form of brigading, just look it up. And now you're adding insults to the mix. Well done.
Again, I personally could not care less. But by behaving like this, you're not encouraging people to share their thoughts (unless of course they agree with you, that's different!). And you're certainly not creating an "uplifting" community.
To be clear, I don't care about your downvotes. I DO care that you're excusing the inexcusable and helping to normalize political violence.
