Part of the reason Luigi Mangione is not condemned, is the same reason Ryan Borgwardt isn’t being judged very harshly. The response to a man faking his death to be with a woman he met online in another country is ‘well at least he didn’t annihilate his wife and kids.’
Because the usual path for a disaffected American man with access to a gun is to commit a mass shooting, people are happy Luigi only killed one bad man, rather than a bunch of innocent people at a mall or a school.
