He allegedly shot someone who was killing many other people for money.

Internet jokes aside, it seems pretty weak to be venerating killers like this.
I’ll accept your down votes with grace.

Alleged killer, he has not been convicted of anything

It’s definitely sad and unfortunate that someone had to die, but I heard they were using unethical means to exploit vulnerable people and cause the deaths of many others.
If the police weren’t going to do anything about the CEO, then sadly, it’s ultimately necessary for a vigilante to step up.
It’s why you need a fair legal system.

This.

But not this.
If someone (a CEO, a powerful business man, a politician, whatever) is doing something so egregiously wrong then club together to raise awareness, take legal action, shame them in the press, set up you own alternatives. Going straight to murder is not the answer.
Yet it scares me that so many people think it is 😢😬.

Pretty sure that everyone over in the US has already tried and failed this. If not, then you’re 100% correct.

They might have tried it in different ways, and it might be really difficult I don’t deny that. But the alternative of murder seems a little overkill, no?

If you think we as a society went straight to murder, you need to get your head out of your ass.

And yet we see a murderer venerated 🤷.

No one went “straight to murder”. There have been decades of struggle.
You’re also describing the “boxes of liberty” thing. “To be used in order: soap box, ballot box, jury box, ammo box”.

Not allowed to down vote. You speak hurty words. That’s violence.

Well he is suspected of murder, we don’t technically know if he did. Innocent until proven guilty and all that.

I thought that only applied to conservatives who have been accused of sexual harassment.
Being serious though, I agree with @mannycalavera@feddit.uk that killers probably shouldn’t be venerated, but it’s definitely interesting that the Luigi case has inspired a lot of discussion, so I wondered what Lemmy users might think about this mural.
