The story at that link is about 1 month old, but someone posted about this mural on Reddit yesterday.

Luigi Mangione did not do anything. He allegedly killed someone. He is innocent until he is proven guilty. You cant assume that just because someone is suspected for committing a crime, they actually committed the crime

Okay, this isn't a court and it's absolutely fine for people in casual conversation to say he did something when there's strong evidence that he did.

Strictly speaking if he yelled 'I did it and I'd do it again' at the cameras on his way into court, he'd still be 'innocent till proven guilty' but no one would insist that actually meant he 'hadn't done it'.

In any case, as to our wider discussion, you'd then be disagreeing with many of the people here and arguing that people painted his face on a wall because he didn't do anything.
