The funniest thing about Luigi Mangione is that by suppressing him as much as they did, they made it super easy for people to mythologize and project their own beliefs onto him. I feel like if they just let him talk, he would say some stupid shit that would piss people off within days.

Had an incredibly rich grandfather iirc, and some chuddy beliefs(?) from my memory?

Yeah, he would've definitely made a lot of people angry

In the first sentence of the luigi manifesto, he said that he loves cops.

I think the most obvious motive of the Luigi case is that he was 26 years old. Obamacare requires his parent's health insurance cover him until he turned 26. This means he was likely recently kicked off of his parent's health insurance plan. It has been reported that Luigi suffers from back pain from a spinal injury.
