“DA says…” This is not the author making that assessment, it’s the DA. Naturally the DA is going to say he killed the guy, same as I do, or anyone making Luigi memes does.
There’s no obligation for a reporter to insert “allegedly” where it was not stated.
Nope, I’m saying it’s been prevalent on Lemmy and that everyone who created, shared or upvoted that content has absolutely no basis for going “Presumed innocent!”
If you think Luigi’s a hero, you have no basis for saying he didn’t shoot and kill thr guy.
Wrong, it’s entirely possible for a person to make memes celebrating him as a symbol of resistance while also acknowledging the very real possibility that he’s innocent
“after Luigi Mangione killed CEO Brian Thompson” is the problem - he allegedly killed that guy

It’s apparently too hard to have proper journalism I guess.
“DA alleges…”. There fixed it
And the DA is wrong for saying that, alongside the reporter for not correcting them.
You sound like the type of person Brandolini’s Law is based on.
If you ever created, shared, or upvoted a Luigi meme, then you agree with the sentiment.
Do you have some evidence to suggest that they’ve created shared or upvoted such a meme?

You’re making speculations about random commenters to justify speculations about Luigi
I’m addressing the hive mind who simultaneously believes Luigi is a hero but also somehow did not kill a guy.
Both of those statements cannot be true at the same time.
Lemmy loves Luigi and cannot stand the idea that he’s anything but an avenging angel sent from heaven.
If you believe that, you can’t also believe he didn’t kill anyone.
This is different from the common phrase “he didn’t do anything WRONG.” Which recognizes that, yeah, he killed the guy, but it was justified.

Imagine changing your perspective based on new evidence? That really couldn’t be you.
