If really like to know more about him, and what pushed him to do what he did.

In the US, when referring to veterans, some people seem to carry this big distinction between regular vets and "combat" vets. Sure, there are the stolen valor people, who would tell others they did things they didn't, but for the most part, people who served, just got through it, and did what they had to do... The old, "heroes aren't born, they're made" thing - where we react to situations we're thrust into. Not being thrust into harrowing situations doesn't make one "less of" a man or woman.

Personally, I see more of the Luigi stuff coming, considering how things are going in the US. But, if like to know more about how this allegedly all came together in his case... he's just some 20-something college kid - outside of his current predicament, that is.

Don't let the propaganda machine and all the blatant, prejudicial rigging get to you, my man. They haven't proven beyond a reasonable doubt, using legal evidence, that it is him.

Right now, it's only alleged, and they've mishandled the evidence badly.

Don't do their job for them.

I'm not doing anything for them. As far as I'm concerned, Luigi is a hero. You can tell he's threatened those in power. There are convicted serial killers who've gotten less of an escort than Luigi.
