I find this meme interesting on an ironic level because, theologically, Luigi Mangione is much closer to Judas because Judas's surname (Iscariot) could imply that he was a member of the Sicarii, a cloak-and-dagger group of people who rebelled against Rome by assassinating members of the Roman elite.
