Taylor Lorenz praised the defendant of the CEO of United Assassin Luigi Mangione and criticized the media for criticizing the legion of deranged young people who consider him a hero or model to follow.
“It is funny to see these experts in the millionaire media on television grabbing their pearls about some murderers when it comes to the United States of America, as if it did not lionize the criminals,” the influencer and former reporter of the New York Times.
“As if we were not from the murderers of all kinds. We give them Netflix shows,” he added.
Mangione, 26, is in trial for the execution of December 4, United Healthcare, Brian Thompson, 50, who was awarded in the streets of Center for Center Manhattan outside his hotel.
Mangione has the battery to plan the murder to sow terror in the health insurance industry, which he allegedly criticized in a magazine that the police spent his trial in Pennsylvania days after the shooting, prosecutors say.
From the murder, Mangione has risen to the status of popular hero among some radical leftists, which are alleged acceptable, or even admirable actions.
A Reddit community called R/FreeLuigi has more than 38,000 members, mostly girls and young women, who proclaim breathing the innocence of mangione and sprouts about its appearance of morning idols in an echo chamber of the updated Internet.
They share photos of Luigi’s theme shirts (some that portray it as a saint), sketches, cakes, embroidery and paintings they created.
His female admirers send bags of cards to the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, where he is currently being detained. An admirer even placed a hidden heart -shaped note or Argyle socks.
O’Sullivan asked Lorenz about the typically negative media reactions to the fangartls who have presented in force in their appearances in court, and she said she felt that her veneration for the accused murder made a lot of sense.
“You will see women especially who feel like, ‘my God, here is this man who is a revolutionary, who is famous, who is handsome, who is young, who is intelligent, is a person who seems that this Lora s d donnie o’sullivan laughed.
The Trump administration has taken the rare step of looking for the death penalty against Mangione, pressing what would be Manhattan’s first federal execution in 70 years.
“Luigi Mangione’s murder by Brian Thompson, an innocent man and Father of two young children -To premeditated and cold flood murder that shocked the United States, ”said the United States fiscal prosecutor Pam Bondi, in a press release earlier this month.
“After a careful consideration, I have ordered federal prosecutors to seek the death penalty in this case as we carry out the Trump President Trump to stop violent crime and make the United States be safe again,” Bondi added.
Lorenz has made its share of disturbing statements on social networks in defense of Mangione, including openly celebration of Thompson’s murder.
Last December, he told Piers Morgan that he felt “joy” about the brutal murder “, along with so many other Americans,” he said.
When Morgan held his feet in the fire, Lorenz tried to walk back his praise with the murder that left two children without a father, saying: “Maybe not joy, but certainly not empathy.”
