During the height of the whole Luigi craze that has now died down, it first came out that he went to (Thailand) for a bit on his "trip to the East."
So, I told my one (newer) (tall) (Thai) coworker that it's her fault that he's a criminal, he likes (Asian) women, and that if she was still in (Thailand), she could have met him and saved him.
"You're in your head too much, let's go play basketball and swim," I was like, pretending to be her meeting Luigi.
(She's very athletic.)
"You could have saved him," I was like.
I also asked two (younger) (HAPA) (grad student) (STEM) people who are regular customers what they thought of Luigi, and to rate what they thought about the health insurance CEO assassination on a scale of 0 to 10, where 0 was full disapproval, 5 was neutral, and 10 was full approval.
The one immediately said 7 or 8, and then the other was like, "Officially, zero," but I pressed him, and he wouldn't say, but I pressed him some more, and we went back and forth, etc., and finally he gave in and was like, "I feel bad," and then he said it was probably like a 6 -- which fact makes me think that public opinion surveys may be underestimating popular support of Luigi's targeted killing, since social desirability effects will lead at least some portion of people to say that they strongly disapprove of his actions (when actually in fact they mildly approve, or more).
