    No, its not. Brian Thompson wasn’t a legislator. He was a civillian who made money off of others hardships.

      Do you think killing someone is political only if the targets are politicians?

        If the intent of the killing is to change the system or have political outcomes, then it is political.

        We have no indications that Luigi wanted anything other than one or maybe a handful more dead CEOs. That does not have political outcomes. Nothing has changed.

          But why did he want one or more CEOs dead?

            Because he considered them evil parasites for the work they’re doing. Work that is still legal now after he killed one, because killing one doesn’t have any effect on the governing laws and overarching system.

              You said intent not outcome. Him killing only one and it “not having any effect” is an outcome. His manifesto doesn’t say he intended to kill only one, his intentions were against the system not a single individual.

              Looking at the outcome and saying “that wasn’t political” is like saying Jan 6 wasn’t political because they failed to overthrow the government.

                He did not have intent based on the obvious outcomes. He has at no point ever given any words about the killing with any political intent.

                  I don’t know what you’re lacking to not understand his manifesto and I don’t care because it’s not my job to improve your failed education. I’m not wasting any more time on you.

                    You’re 11 comments deep of demanding I accept your fanfiction based on evidence that doesn’t exist because it fits your own political narrative.
