Luigi Mangione accepts $300K in donations for legal defense in murder case
Luigi Mangione, the man accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, has accepted almost $300,000 from people who claim to be his fans.
Maybe he can plead guilty and have zero jail time, like Steve.
Luigi Mangione? I haven't heard that name since he saved my life, here in North Carolina, same day as that United Healthcare guy keeled over from a heart attack
No, can't be. At that time I saw him singlehandedly organizing the "Save The Puppies" program, where he would stand on top of a bridge and as some psycho drove by with a sack full of puppies to throw over he would dive bare chested into the cold, cold water and swim the puppies back to shore stacked on top of his head.
What about the CEO? I heard he broke his neck trying to suck his own cock.
I heard the united healthcare guy died of spinal trauma but it may have been pre-existing condition
If so, it probably wasnât covered by UHC.
Free Luigi, DDD
Luigi looks like he's about to drop the most đĽ rap album of 2025 in that photo.
Eric Adams was flexing his bootlicking muscle.
Woah woah woah, slow it down, we don't know if it was murder yet. For all we know it was self defence.
Even if he did do it, it looked like a clear cut case of self defense. Brian was coming right for his throat.
But also, there wasn't a shooter. If you watch the video, Brian trips and falls on his own gun, shooting himself in the back 3 times
I'm not sure what your point is. That's why there's a trial. A murder trial. To decide if he's guilty. Nothing in the story claims otherwise. In fact, they go out of their way to point out that he has only been accused, not convicted.
But it looks like he's not innocent until proven guilty like other people have been in the past.
People generally don't have time to whittle words about their attackers profession onto bullet casings in a shootout, and fabricating untraceable firearms generally isn't something rich people do for self defence.
Yes, but who has the time to do that when they're playing Battletech at the same time as the murder? Which he totally was with me at that exact moment.
Jury nullification would send a very powerful message .
Also the law doesn't matter anymore anyway, so nobody should vote to convict because they're concerned about the rule of law.
Whats the message?
In response to hearing about your 10,000+ individual donations, averaging under $30
So if that doesnât send a message, maybe another CEO to spell it out?
look, im not a fan of Luigi. im a fan of justice. and i aint seen shit in that video where the CEO falls over
Jury being shown the footage
He didn't do anything wrong! The CEO just became permanently neutral to all future endeavors.
Hopefully he's got a cousin named Vinny.
What's a yoot?
I'm surprised they kept this guy alive. Maybe they figured out how obvious epstein looked and didn't risk it with this guy
Better to keep him alive as an example to poors who have any ideas about attacking their ruling class masters.
Luigi hasn't harmed any currently alive rich people, when he killed one another took their place.
Epstein was a threat to Trump and a UK Prince, among others.
Epstein had blackmail, and as such was still a danger to the rich, even in jail. On the other hand, Luigi was just some guy with a gun who got lucky, if they can lock him up for the rest of his life, he doesn't pose any danger.
I fear that we're witnessing a concerted conditioning aimed at ensuring the suspension of habeus corpus. At this point, it seems to be a bipartisan theatrical effort. I reallllllly hope I'm just being paranoid because if I'm right, we have no concept of the hell that awaits us (I'm writing this from a quantum decryption proof VPN)
Thatâs not gonna go far
300k+ to work one of the most famous cases in the nation? You bet your ass lawyers are looking at that. No matter the outcome youâre a legend. You canât buy that kind of PR/marketing.
It could have gone far towards doing some actual good, instead of donated to an ivy league kid's murder defence fund.
Good luck with that. Unless they legalize murder he's pretty much fucked.
Likely yes, but everyone has a right to a trial by a jury of their peers and, who knows?
Political discourse is really poor in this country and they need all 12 to convict.
Look up Gary PlauchĂŠ. Dude put a bullet at close range into the temple of a guy being escorted by police, got a suspended sentence. But we can dream
PlauchĂŠ didn't kill a rich person.
I don't really understand lemmy's derision for this opinion.
It's the obvious outcome. Luigi might be a hero but he's going to jail.
Innocent until proven guilty.
"well akshually" comments are poorly received everywhere.
This guy is going to spend decades in prison unless he starts running for president.
People are advertising jury nullification, but that won't clear him for the same reason that a McDonald's employee would tell the cops where to find him.
They first need to prove he's the murderer
My fear is he's going to be used to instigate the social unrest needed for project 2025 to reach it's goal of suspension of habeus corpus by June 30th. That's end game and the way they're concentrating messaging against the judicial branch right now means they're grinding toward the 6 month milestone right on schedule.
The fact the most famous dems aren't saying the above is chilling.
What if we all got too comfy with our rights and values during lockdown and the tree is about to be shaken so violently that we'll all be thankful for a low wage job in a few years? I guarantee that's a bipartisan goal.
Stay peaceful folks, the future demands it.
