Luigi is wondering if his brother will be alright.
Free Luigi!
I received a free Luigi!
My son gave it to me. He’s a good kid.
I'm just saying, this is how you end up with Nintendo characters in the news again.

"A pilot program in six states will use a tactic employed by private insurers that has been heavily criticized for delaying and denying medical care."
Prosecutors say #Luigi Mangione inspired others by killing #UnitedHealthCare #CEO

In their filing Wednesday, prosecutors wrote that Mangione poses a continuing danger in part because he seeks to influence others. “Simply put, the defendant hoped to normalize the use of violence to achieve ideological or political objectives,” they said. “Since the murder, certain quarters of the public — who openly identify as acolytes of the defendant — have increasingly begun to view violence as an acceptable, or even necessary, substitute for reasoned political disagreement.”

"Are you wanting that hot, disaffected, anti-corporate Gen-Z look? Mangione’s hooded assassin’s jacket is available for 60% off at Macy’s, demonstrating how quickly the news cycle turns it back on what had taken up all its oxygen just weeks before. His iconic burgundy courtroom sweater will only set you back $62.65 from Nordstrom. Thousands of 'Deny, Delay, Depose' merchandise options are available on Etsy.
Along with this wide assortment of products, Mangione’s conventional good looks are a marketable commodity in our image-obsessed society. Wisecrack one-liners from the late-night news clowns and countless internet memes made the rounds for a few weeks, but any favorable rhetoric surrounding Mangione’s actions was scrubbed by mainstream media. As a recent example, comedian Bill Burr referenced Mangione on the Jimmy Kimmel Show in January, but the shot cuts away when Burr gives him a shoutout. Censorship of free speech related to this event is still unfolding across the internet today.
News outlets continue to paint a much broader (and safer) picture of Mangione as a young man radicalized through the Unabomber’s manifesto. They insist he was a wealthy loner with a personal grudge against the healthcare industry. Some reporters even attacked the core of his masculinity and asserted that Mangione’s back injury made it impossible for him to function sexually, creating a false impression of him as an incel, an involuntary celibate. Despite the negative press, people organized online support groups, but like Mangione’s own social media accounts, these were shut down almost immediately.
Social media sites regularly cleanse all content even tangentially referencing the killing with Reddit being particularly notable for immediately deleting any related posts, hindering chances of individuals attempting to organize in a forum setting. Similarly, GoFundMe pulled an initial Mangione fundraiser, citing that they prohibit fundraisers for legal defense of violent crimes, but GiveSendGo still has a 'preemptive legal fundraiser' available for donations, which has topped $425,000 from over 10,000 individual donations.
It is unclear who launched this campaign, as there is a note that if the Mangione legal team rejects the funds, they will be donated to a cause in his name. Perhaps fearful of retribution due to the terrorism charges he faces, everyone involved with this venture is anonymous, and our attempt to reach out to the organizers never received a response."

"Backstage before Monday’s performance of 'Luigi: The Musical,' actor Caleb Zeringue cracked a joke about how his castmate who plays the title role has to skip the show’s European debut because such a trip could cost him his health insurance.
The barb strikes at one of the key themes in the show about alleged murderer Luigi Mangione: The whims of the U.S. health care system can drive people to do drastic things with fatal outcomes.
The lead actor, Jonny Stein, gets his health coverage through his day job teaching high school math in San Francisco. He said his principal denied his request to skip the first week of school so that he could perform at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival starting Tuesday, so another actor will be stepping in.
'Just because something’s funny, doesn’t mean it’s not serious,' said Zeringue, dressed as a prison guard, before Stein ducked out of the green room to slip into his bright orange jumpsuit."
