Luigi Mangione’s sweater sells out at Nordstrom one day after court appearance

For true stories that are so ridiculous, that you could have sworn it was an !theonion worthy story.
I get the feeling this one could play out differently.
If you look at the news outlets you'll notice something. Depending on who their target demographic is depends on what kind of boogeyman he gets painted as.
for example democrat catering articles saying his white male privilege is why everyone loves him(it's not) and trying to turn feminists on him by using those buzzwords.
Fox news is trying to paint him as a sad, whiney snowflake who was mad about back pain and getting kicked off his parents insurance at 26.
Some random ones who's target demographic i couldn't indentify calling people who support him "sick fans." It's clear they ALL want us to hate him, and anyone who supports him is insert artifically created culture war problem here
Do you think they’re succeeding? The overall negative impression I get is the “we get it but murder is wrong” opinion. I haven’t heard any culture war bullshit in either direction about it but tbf im not on social media.
I don't hate him, but I can see his privilege. Of course some self-entitled white rich guy is going to flip out and kill somebody when life fucks him over. That's the least surprising thing about this.
People are really missing the forest for the trees here. This isn't about him. It's about the health insurance industry and the people's rage towards it. That's so much larger and more important than a single man's act of violence.
