I think many people celebrate the person that actually killed that CEO (no matter if it was Luigi personally or not). That doesn’t really have to conflict with thinking that Luigi didn’t do it. In the first instance he just represents the person that did it because we don’t know who really did it.
If you’d celebrate the real killer, then arguing that Luigi didn’t do it seems secondary to the fact that it wasn’t a crime anyone should be punished for. It’s a weird kind of mental backflip to stay within the lines of the current system while supporting actions that are outside the system.
Personally, I’ve had to pay UHC tens of thousands of dollars in premiums and additional tens of thousands every time I’ve gotten hurt/sick because UHC covers basically nothing. They billed me $800 the last time I got a tetanus shot. It would have been $150 if I had claimed to be uninsured so it is literally cheaper for me not to tell providers I have insurance.
If shooting a mugger for stealing your wallet is justified homicide, then so was shooting this asshole. I have no issue saying, “I think Luigi did it and he should be free.”
I think Luigi didn’t do it and should be free because of that.
The person who actually did it should be free, because <insert personal reason/opinion why>
If you’d celebrate the real killer, then arguing that Luigi didn’t do it seems secondary (…)
That’s not really secondary. I you believe that he didn’t do it for whatever reason (I’m not really into the technical details of the case and the evidence or lack thereof) why would you argue that he did it but still go free. Wouldn’t it be more honest and reflect your believes better to say “Luigi didn’t do it and of course should be released and the person who did should also go free because it was justified”

A perfectly valid opinion, and so are:
