    It’s not really about him. I don’t think murdering people is the solution to any problem. But this incident is revealing an undercurrent of anger and frustration that has been too-long ignored. The revelation is the object lesson, not the murder. Rich people are more aware that they are not as insulated from the disasters to come.

    Luigi doesn’t need to be a saint, or a prophet, or a leader in any way. He took horrifying action because he is an outlier, and the world is full of outliers. People are murdered all the time, but the response shows that he wasn’t that far outside the lines, and there are probably a lot more outliers wondering if they can be as famous.

      yeah I feel the same about murder but I know it happens all the time and most of the victims are way less deserving. Even the most just of wars is just a series of murders as is any law enforcement action that ends in death. So I would put this near the top of least concerning murder I know about in history. Somewhat not as bad as the murder of Mussolini for example.
