Based on what? Twitter? Polling? And what do you mean "support Luigi"? Because while I don't condone murder, I am not convinced he murdered anyone. I think the oligarchy is trying to make an example of him and unintentionally made him a martyr.

Luigi is being celebrated all across the west while support for, say, Cuba, is far more controversial.
