Why didn’t the kid who tried to snipe trump get this much recognition and respect?? Seems like half of the country was in agreement with that.

The biggest difference is he missed.

This guy is getting way more than 50% agreement. That's the difference.

He had no coherent motivations that we know of. He was another ammo-sexual. I lost guy who wanted to take a shot at greatness.

Luigi is a handsom kid with everthing and seemed to act with a bigger purpose. I think what he did was incredibly stupid BTW. And immoral. And worshiping him does not help anyone. But it wasn't an acto of some psycho who loves his guns.

That guy didn't have a clear motive or ideology. He was a registered Republican gun enthusiast, who donated $15 to Democrats. His social media had antisemitic and anti-immigrant statements, but he went after the anti-immigrant messiah. He just wanted to kill someone important. And he missed.

Luigi's message was clear and concise. We all knew it when we heard what was written on the bullet casings.
