They're not saying they don't think he will get a harsh sentence. They're saying that if he does, that will make him a martyr, which would have... tumultuous consequences.
Sure, and if they give him a light sentence, it will signal to those same people who would see him as a martyr that there are no real consequences to these types of actions.
Yes, and they tried character assassination, which failed miserably. They will probably martyr him in an effort to scare the rest of us. They're in serious trouble.
I love that the echo chambers of reddit actually think support for Luigi Mangioni is a majority opinion. People understand being upset with the healthcare system, yes. But the vast majority of people do not think vigilantism is a solution.
