Saint Luigi? Who Gets to Define Justice?
What do we call justice in a culture where vengeance is celebrated? In today’s episode of InSight Out, we explore the unsettling story of Luigi Mangione: a man accused of murdering a healthcare CEO in cold blood and the cultural reaction that turned him into a trending vigilante.
From TikTok hashtags to “Saint Luigi” candles, this story reveals a growing confusion between justice and revenge. We’ll examine the moral breakdown happening around us and ask:
Who really gets to define justice?
