    Regardless of how the act was done, it was undeniably an act of extreme sacrifice. He threw his life away to bring justice to an evil man who would never face justice any other way. Assuming he is the killer, Luigi did this even though he himself is from a well-off family and will never have trouble affording healthcare. Brian Thompson killed tens of thousands of innocent human beings. Because of Luigi, Brian Thompson will never kill again.

    To give your life in the service of total strangers? To sacrifice yourself to save the innocent and punish the guilty? To become a literal martyr? That is the making of a saint.

        How many historical saints and prophets must have suffered from one form of psychosis or another?

          In other words, what if some factor we don’t know about could mean you’re right?
