    Luigi Mangioni is going through trial for his murder of the United Healthcare CEO. Lots of people rally behind him as a symbol of fighting against the system and the system is not too pleased about it.

      If you don’t mind a followup, what’s the article that apparently called for violence or whatever reddit is claiming it did?

        I am not in the loop with reddit’s excuses but from the posts around here it seems like the mods are asked to review any post with the word Luigi to check if it encourages violence. I guess this is because they think that if enough people rally behind Luigi, the same situation can happen. Reddit wants to avoid stochastic terrorism against CEOs, as expected.

      Thank-you very much. I knew about the shooting but didn’t recognise the name.

      Again, thank-you very much for your service!

      I’m having difficulty deciding whether that was what the US second amendment was intended for, rather than letting their kids shoot each other in school.
