Not a random guy still, but the one who brought change that denied claims at double the national average. Of course they won’t admit any wrongdoing the shareholders would crucify them. It’s too soon to tell if anything meaningful will come of his actions.

Polls? Did you check who paid for those polls. I could run a poll where it says 80% of people confirm the sky is pink, but if 80% of the respondents are colour blind can we really be sure the sky is pink. Point being don’t trust polls. Don’t trust me either by the way, I’m one person who is critically online and honestly the people against Luigi’s actions were a vast minority. On here, reddit, YouTube comments (even on Ben Shapiro’s own channel), and news reports with comments. Now full transparency that might not be indicative of all people but it sure seemed that way.

Heroic === brave

Brave = ready to face and endure danger or pain. Seems appropriate to me.

Emerson College students operate Emerson College Polling, sometimes taking donations or using research grant money but they're low traffic and usually don't engage in politics. The sample size was 1000 people and saw only 17% found the killing justified.

That’s a very small sample size, not that I’m doubting you here. Just think it would be interesting to look into it more.
