    Taking politics (mostly) out of it -

    Luigi allegedly killed because he saw injustice and had empathy for other people, wanted to show the evils of health insurance companies.

    This kid imo allegedly killed because he loved someone CK was spouting hateful narratives about. His empathy for this person he loved, and people like them who are just normal people living life, made it easy for him to turn to guns when he wanted this person gone for eternity.

    People with empathy are snapping.

        This is my personal conclusion about this situation because in my personal life people with empathy are drowning right now. It’s hard to live life these days if you give a single fuck about anything real, any real injustices or struggles people are living.

          I just told my mama that I’m upset with her for raising me with empathy. Now I’m always broke. She couldn’t teach me to care more about money than people, ugh.

      But this doesn’t fit the other narrative that they have been talking about… which is him hating the guy for not being right enough or whatever you want to call it…

        Yes, that’s why I took the politics out of it. Empathy can make you hate people enough to kill them if you see them hurting people you love. I think it’s been proven his house mate / partner is a trans person and they were romantically involved.

        CK was sitting, sharing the hateful transphobic ideals he had the actual second he was murdered. Looking into this guy, he wasn’t a MAGA and he wasn’t a leftist. He wasn’t extreme politically and that’s precisely the medias / MAGAs problem : he was just a seemingly average dude who snapped because of the hatred and torment he witnessed from CK.

        It’s only this political imo because he killed DT’s pet pig and they’re of course going to use that as FUD. I think the truth is probably that he would have killed CK regardless of who CK aligned with politically.
