Correct, no one would support Luigi for murdering a homeless person. Support for Luigi is a social proxy. People don't feel like they can change the system peacefully anymore. When that happens, you're right, an angry mob can become judge jury and executioner. It is up to the system to reform itself or fail, not the masses to calm down.
