alt Hacker News> They tried to get Luigi on "terrorism" charges
That's about the least controversial thing I've heard recently. Luigi murdered a guy specifically because he was a health insurance CEO. Not because of something he did in particular, but because of the role he assumed. Terrorizing other CEOs is precisely what he intended to do. It is why there are so many Luigi fans, it is what they want too.

Worth noting the legal system did not find it to reach the requirements for terrorism.

My understanding is that it was personal
Terrorism has become the most mind numbingly meaningless term, deployed for anything a person or system doesn’t like. We have all been living under the all-out psychological terrorism of calling things terrorism for 25 years now.
