This story seems to have faded in the wake of events ad nauseam. We are all aware of Senor Luigi. However, most folks can’t recall the full name of the guy that allegedly Luigi gunned down. Mission accomplished.

Brian Thompson obviously killed himself.

Release the Thompson files!

And by that I mean: Promise to release the files for years and then decide no one should be prosecuted and say "why is everyone still talking about that guy?"

The guy that was gunned down by someone was Evil Healthcare Prick.

It is impressive how scared the wealthy elite are of this man and what he did.

He must be aquitted so they finally understand they're not untouchable. Someone might kill them for the shit they pull.

That's the guy responsible for fixing most of the bugs in civ VI. And there is evidence he did that.

He's also been baselessly accused of shooting some twat. So the federal prosecution is waiting for people to forget about him so they can drag him through a kangaroo court and murder him for political reasons.

We need more people like Luigi. I mean both people who can fix bugs in Civ VII and people who can fix bugs in american healthcare system.

I'd have thought they'd want him dead for all to see. See what happens when you touch an untouchable.

It's the sort of thing that could spark a full blown revolution though. Capitalists aren't known for their love of change.

Still the only one in the US with balls it seems.
The rest is still busy with interpretative dance, making placards to carry around while having a stroll and determined to vote harder next time.

I think the guy he allegedly killed, had a name that started with.... I think it was a d? David? Derek? Dddddouchebag. Douchebag, yeah. I think the person that died was a massive douchebag.

That seems right to me ....

Luigi didn't do it though. He's being set up by the prosecution.
