The difference between killing a noble vs. killing a group of peasants.
And he killed a CEO, not a billionaire.
Ruling class. He might not have been a billionaire but still deserved it.
(unfortunately)
Yes. College students are 5 cents a dozen. They're useful to extract mortgage interest but they're still 5 cents a dozen.
Alternatively, and I'm playing devil's advocate here, but maybe there was more concern that someone might try to assassinate Luigi. After what happened with Jeffrey Epstein, authorities might have figured "the people will lose their minds if Luigi dies in custody, so let's not take any chances".
to you and me that makes sense but honestly the American public is extremely forgetful. With Epstein in particular, we still don't have clear answers or justice or a final accounting, and it's whatever. America shrugs. Maxwell is in jail hopefully forever, but Trump will pardon her if it's worth it to him.
He is in no way comparable, what secrets to spill does Luigi have on the perverted oligarchs of the world?
And that’s why they give him the best, too. On the surface, they will state it’s to protect him. But it’s optics.
To further play devils advocate, while most people seem to support him, it could just be some nut job who does it for notoriety that tries to assassinate him, rather than some rogue supporter of the ruling class, which is much less likely.
