I don't think so only because it was likely the CIA who got oswald to do it and then killed him to destroy evidence. The CIA would never kill a CEO unless that CEO threatened their operation which someone in healthcare definitely would not.

I don't think the CIA used Luigi or was involved in this murder. But Law enforcement has been parading Luigi around in open areas - possibly hoping someone would take care of Luigi for them.

There was a perp walk recently where LE was covered in bullet proof vests and helmets. Luigi was not. it was an open area.

When Oswald was killed, it allowed LE to shape the narrative with less pushback, and helped close the case faster than if he was alive.

Such a complicated take! Why not the simple one? Cops are big, dumb jocks and this perp walk gives them the chance to strut their fake tough guy stuff all over the media.

I see no difference between these clowns and the guys who bring ARs to rallies.

I was hoping it wasn't overly complicated. I guess I am thinking up theories since the justice system seems so eager to make an example out of Luigi, due to his popularity with the public (or their fondness for people in power). But I also think the justice system's over reaction to Luigi (terrorism charge/federal charges) will create more animosity amongst the public directed at them.

I don’t think they’re overreacting to Luigi. They throw as many charges as they can at basically everyone. The US has a very long history of this sort of malicious prosecution to try and extract guilty pleas. It’s endemic in the system.
