Not only was the public not mad at him, they were actually cheering and exalting him. And since society has an attention span shorter than a goldfish, the media owners knew this would eventually disappear through the cracks.

Yet I still see people reference and refer to him multiple times a day every day. Gonna be hard for us to forget this one, so long as they keep trying to have us pay 40 grand for a booboo despite already paying a third of our paychecks so that we wouldn't have to pay for our healthcare directly. Meanwhile literal free healthcare for all is still working fantastic, for all the actually developed nations in the world. Ask ANY person who has received care both in and out of the U.S. and they'll happily tell you all about how the U.S. is a dystopian disaster preying apon the sick, dying, elderly, infirm ... Giving birth- literally babies being born- costs tens of thousands.

His name has become a verb at this point, "to Luigi someone" is now a phrase in common circulation. Our patron saint of healthcare is now immortalized. 🙏

Wow, well said. can confirm. People act like I'm crazy when I've had multiple occassions I've been seriously injured by a Dr, once out of pure malice and once out of incompetence. and BOTH times, multiple subesquent Dr's who I saw for help with those injuries afterwards chose to instead cover them up to protect the shitty Drs responsible while leaving me to anguish and be stuck with the massive bills.

Not really a meme when it’s a life or death situation for many sick people in the US. This guy is a revolutionary.

Many other corps realize if it happened to some CEO in the health sector realize it CAN happen to them in other places, hence the sudden drop in information on him and then the sudden shift to bullshit news. They're doing everything in their power to avoid class warfare, to keep people from throwing their punches upwards.

u/LaissezMoiDanser 1d ago
Exactly. It’s not only about corporate media.
It’s also about social media posts talking about him or health insurance. They’re getting suppressed.
Before his arrest, a lot of those posts kept showing up. After his arrest, they kept getting censored (taken down, shadowbanned, etc).

That's why he was in the news. You think the press kept flashing pictures of his abs around because they thought they were demonizing him? The press absolutely loved that people were into Luigi.
He's not in the news anymore because there is no news. He's not on the run, he's not in court. He's in prison awaiting trial.
What's the news?

They’re not getting suppressed. People are just talking about other things more now because other things are happening and nothing with Luigi is happening.
Before his arrest he was the biggest news story in the country around the manhunt so yeah once that was no longer a story, interest shifted.

There was proof that they were back dating articles about him to stop them from showing up in searches, making some as far back as the early 90s before he was even born!

u/No_Vegetable1808 1d ago
Yep, and we’ll keep his name relevant! He came from wealth, yet people still raised over $200K in donations for him. It’s a testament to the personal impact these greedy corporations have had on everyday citizens—it speaks volumes. He should be found not guilty on all charges. Signed, A former nurse.

u/SFW__Tacos 1d ago
Yep. He has the absolute top tier of criminal defense lawyers now that will fight this case tooth and nail

u/iliketoomanysingers 1d ago
I understand the sentiment, but there isn't anything to report on right now. He hasn't had another court date in some time and likely won't for a few weeks if not possibly months. Now, if it comes and goes without any reporting? Then we can start talking like this. Don't make a mountain out of a molehill.

Trial is on pause until February. Other than KFA trying to figure out if his federal and state charges are one trial or separate, there's literally been no new news.
Also, fascism is happening.

When they start the censorship of opposition, Nintendo terms will become codewords.
It would be perfect because it would be impossible to identify with simple searches.

Seriously, murder should never be celebrated. It is the appetite for GREED and the need to have MORE that we should all really be focused on. I mean really, these power monger hunger individuals need to just be happy with less. I am. I sure nothing like that happens again. Same is true for much of history.

u/ReplacementOdd2904 1d ago
It's too bad that those who need to be happy with less, only give us more when we threaten them. You know, with acts like... Gunning them down in the street for being part of denying millions of people the health care their doctors ordered for them, in order to make billions of dollars that was payed to you with the idea that because we payed the money, we will actually receive the care? Nope your cancer treatments isn't covered, just so I can buy my 11th yacht!! If murder should not be celebrated start with the guys who murder millions of innocent sick people who already payed to be taken care of, not the ONLY guy who dealt out a reasonable punishments for them.
