reposting the defense's team's official website for Mangione, which is somewhat buried in a post upthread.....

WWW.LUIGIMANGIONEINFO.COM

Due to the extraordinary volume of inquiries and outpouring of support, this site was created and is maintained by Luigi Mangione’s New York legal defense...

 

This needed to be posted.  300k is peanuts.  Poor Luigi is gonna need a minimum of $5,000.000 for his defense.  Hopefully the Luigi lovers put their money where their mouths are and donate to poor Luigi.

I certainly hope not.  Poor Luigi can access legal aid if he and his wealthy family are unable or unwilling to pay for his defense.  All of that money being donated could feed thousands of people in real need.  The sad fact is that if every homeless or hungry person looked like Luigi, there would no longer be an issue with homelessness and hunger.

Really? Do you think it is all about the looks? Luigi's alleged act was already popular before his images got viral.

No, I was being a bit facetious with my comment.  I think his looks and image definitely make him more popular, but a lot of people also support what he did because of how insurance companies treat clients.

Luigi Mangione is asking his twisted fans to stop bombarding him with so many photos.

The accused UnitedHealthcare CEO killer made clear on his legal defense fund website that he cannot keep up with the fan photos flooding into his Brooklyn federal jail.
 

Could you boys stop sending Luigi your sick pics?  🍄🟫

And, while the United Healthcare CEO was not unattractive, if more CEOs looked like Luigi or other fit men in their late 20s and featured in their advertising, the crowds would salivate over these corporations and easily handover the money to be a part of a company that looks sexy

Without being explicitly political, I do wonder if New Yorkers are feeling like their legal system is being manipulated by the current administration.

I can see that becoming a factor at the trial when the federal charges come through.

Meanwhile, I'll keep an eye on this as I sit back, watch our corrupt society go down the toilet, and laugh.

I wonder how many of the photos sent are nudes?  It’s gotta be north of 80%, LOL.

Cringe.

If someone wants to support Mangione because he took a stand against an immoral industry, shooting a man who was a mass murderer by any rational definition of the term, that's commendable. This is a republic; the people should speak.

If someone wants to support Mangione only because he's sexy, they're little girls.

I saw a show the other night about Mangione, and I wouldn't be surprised if there are some serious mental health issues at play.  Killing the CEO has done nothing to help those who continue to be harmed by the insurance industry.  Even in the short term, it won't improve anything for anyone.  It's really too bad that Mangioni was not able to focus his efforts on effecting systemic change.  With his intellect and his experiences with the health care system, I think he could have done a lot of good for a lot of people by fighting the system through non-violent means.  But he chose a course of action that will not profit anyone except the lawyers who defend him.  It's such a sad, sad, waste.

Freedom of speech, which I will defend to my death, does not give you the right to commit cold blooded murder.

It kills me that we live in a society where we "think" a young man who committed murder in broad daylight in Midtown Manhattan "might" have mental health issues. 

The kid is beautiful, no doubt. But he’s also a murderous lunatic, no doubt.

Absolutely - he is murderous - but whether he is a 'lunatic' would depend on a psychological assessment.  I think there are mental health issues at play, but I don't think they could excuse his behaviour or render him not criminally responsible for his actions.

Trying to steer clear of political, but societally, I think he just happens to be on the leading edge of something that's coming and it's going to get a lot worse before it gets better. There have been a lot of people on edge for a number of years now. And there's a reason these billionaires are building bunkers. Increase the stress on a hundred million people, a few thousand are gonna snap badly, statistically speaking And that's not saying it's going to come from one "side of the aisle" or other because there's a random element to it. The economic middle has hollowed out in this country due to uncertainty- i.e. live in a nice house but do not have the savings to keep it if they're out of work for even a few months - and a LOT of people are closer than they realize to having nothing left to lose.

It's a scary and sad situation all around. :(

🤣 Reports from not one but two unreliable trash websites (Newsweek & RadarOnLine)  make the speculation about sex tapes very OJ! 

From the link:

"But despite the lack of evidence, the mere thought that the sex tapes might exist has sent some people online into a frenzy about them."

Just another non-story to keep it alive and people expecting something relevant to happen.

BTW, shouldn't we call it something other than sex tapes? Tapes are a little, like, obsolete. Just sayin'.

I believe this is where many people are coming from who fetishize Mangione. He's handsome for sure...but his vigilantism additionally turns him into a sort of night-in-shining armor to the middle class.

Personally, I think he's hot as hell...and we all know that hot people get a pass in many things in life.

gee, surprised that Newsweek would stoop to printing a sleazy rumor like this......wasn't Newsweek really a respected magazine, along with Time and US News & World Report back in the day??.....or did they have a major policy/ownership change in recent years?

I trust Karen Friedman Agnifilo, her comments.

The sex tape reporting is sketchy.

When I think about the Las Vegas shooter, an old guy, and how many died, that someone like Mangione gets so much attention compared to the Las Vegas shooter, maybe we all need to think twice about the Internet environment we spend time, and whether we are clicking through to the slimy content.

Most of the major news outlets have taken to printing rumors over the last ten years. The entire media industry has shifted from print to online which has changed traditional business models. The answer has been to rely mostly on advertising income and "click-bait" is utilized to draw viewers. Sensationalism is the tool that gets everyone to "click".
