Fundraiser to Cover Luigi Mangione’s Legal Bills Raises More Than $120,000

Wow, Luigi is really bringing this country together.

The Guardian:

An online fundraiser created for the suspect arrested in the New York murder of Brian Thompson, the UnitedHealthcare CEO, has raised more than $120,000 for his legal defense.

Luigi Mangione, 26, was arrested on 9 December in Altoona, Pennsylvania, in connection with Thompson’s killing outside a Manhattan hotel five days earlier.

He has since been charged with second-degree murder, forgery and three gun charges by prosecutors in New York. He faces separate charges in Pennsylvania for carrying a gun without a license, forgery, falsely identifying himself to the authorities and possessing “instruments of crime”.

Mangione’s defense attorney in Pennsylvania, Thomas Dickey, has said that his client will plead not guilty to the charges against him in Pennsylvania, and he has been fighting extradition to New York. Mangione is being held in a Pennsylvania jail without bond.

As of Monday morning, an anonymous fundraiser titled “December 4th Legal Committee”– a reference to the date of the shooting – hosted on the GiveSendGo crowdsourcing platform had raised more than $125,000 meant to cover Mangione’s legal fees, with a target goal of $200,000.

The fundraiser states: “This is a preemptive legal fundraiser for the suspect allegedly involved in the shooting of the UnitedHealthcare CEO. We are not here to celebrate violence, but we do believe in the constitutional right of fair legal representation.”

The fundraiser added that all proceeds would be sent directly to Mangione, unless he rejected them, in which case they would be provided to other defendants with whom the campaign sympathizes.

Meanwhile, his Twitter account has not been banned, and many are following for updates on his future behaviors.

 

Of course, the Jews are complaining, and trying to explain away all of this popular support for anti-healthcare causes coming from both left and right.


You’ll always have the Jews there to support every decadent and evil thing, regardless.

Pay them no mind.

Just like the Palestine cause, Luigi has brought into focus a cause that all can support.
