Donations to Luigi Mangione's legal defense fund slowed, then surged
Donations to Luigi Mangione’s legal defense fund have picked up after a news report that they had slowed down.
Sanders was the compromise choice
Eat the rich
Wait ... how is that link working?? kbin.social has been offline for months.
Edit: Ohhhh ... the name of the community at LW is "eattherich@kbin.social" - now I see.
But I am full!
You gotta finish em, Brucie!

Wanna help get those numbers up?
Best donation I've ever made.
Donated, thanks
Before I donate. How do I know the money is actually spent as proposed? I don't know anything about the site or who raises the money.
European btw.
Here are some news articles that links to it directly or mention the site by name. Hopefully this gives the legitimacy you want
How does it benefit anyone?
I know it’s exited the news cycle, but I still remember this was a big thing for the left and right to both agree on supporting. I’d very much like to prompt Trump for his opinion on the man to force him to take a side.
prompt Trump for his opinion on
the mananything to force him to take a side.
That's how you get banned from the press pool.
Best to not remind Trump that Luigi exsist. Don't need him falling out a window with the cameras off and the guards napping.
Haha you think trump is deciding anything still. Didn't you see how they had to walk back his Israel comment?
Actually, a pretty substantial minority of people think what Luigi did was right.
Is it possible to make a tax deductable donation to hit Trump or Musk?
No, but you might be able to set up a betting pool. If you just happen to win, make sure you have an alibi.
But seriously, don't do that. The person who originally thought up that, who I wont name because his name and the name for this thing are probably weighted heavy in the spider bots, was a student who landed in jail twice for tax evasion. Like, the second time happened immediately after the first.
idk if a Mario brother is the right person for that.
donate to BJ Blazkowicz instead.
Mushroom kingdom banks are a bit slow.
I mean nobody can carry 100 coins at the same time there because they turn into an extra life, so large transactions are labor intensive.
Sorry... I got nailed by a blue shell just before I walked into the bank.
Need to get him out of there ASAP. Hopefully the inmates got his back so the guards don't get him 1 on 1
Last I heard he was in solitary. Do we know if that's changed?
There's barely anything coming out. I assume his lawyers are keeping it quiet until a media blitz closer to just selection.
Anyone smarter than me in law know if there is even a remote chance he walks?
I'm not good at law but I have heard from people smarter than me that there are chances for at least a hung jury (I think could be retried) and there's also another option called jury nullification, where the jury essentially says, "yeah we know he is guilty but we don't agree with the law in this case" and acquits.
No. He's going to die in prison. I'm not happy about that fact. I'm just telling the truth. Just like there's zero chance Charles Manson ever gets out. There's zero chance Luigi gets out.
I'm not smarter in the law, but I remember the OJ trial. Just because all the evidence points to the obvious conclusion doesn't mean that the result will be as you expect. Did the police do everything by the book, or is some of the evidence they're relying on tainted? Did a cop worry the evidence wasn't going to be enough and plant some more? Was he caught? Did they forget to read him his rights before interrogating him?
The trick with legal cases is that the prosecution basically has to avoid making mistakes, and it's up to the defense to find a mistake they made. One major difference between a public defender and an extremely expensive legal team is the number of flaws they can find in the prosecution's case before they run out of time.
There is absolutely no way. That jury is going to be tampered with more than any you've ever seen in history.
Pray for Saint Luigi
And thus the lord said: "Get really pissed off reading books and news, then kill people you've never met before instead of doing literally anything else to actually change the system that causes the problems you were angry about in the first place" Amen.
EDIT: /s is mandatory
If he doesn't walk, bust him out by force.
How is he going to defend against suicide with a bullet to the back of his head?
By who? Didn't Trumpelon piss off federal agents of all kinds?
Then slowed... then surged... then slowed... then surged... then slowed... then they had some orange juice and a muffin... and now they're surging again.
Then it fell into the swamp
The court should examine how many people were murdered by UHC.
Hit the invisible ? Block and get a Super Star!
Donations flatline then skyrocket? Classic propaganda machine narrative. First they paint Mangione as a martyr—convenient—then "anonymous benefactors" magically revive the coffers.
Wake up, sheeple: this isn’t organic support. It’s either bots laundering oligarch cash or the deep state stress-testing narrative elasticity.
”Legal defense funds” = Patreon for white-collar theatrics. Mangione’s either a pawn in their chess game or the sacrificial lamb. Either way, grab popcorn.
Democracy’s a rigged carnival, and we’re all just clowns paying to watch.
Man, I don't think I've EVER seen sheeple used unironically in the wild. (2nd person perspective)
Ah fuck you lot are here now
None of that is real. Health care companies have been abusing the population pretty hard for a very long time. They kept rolling dice until they crapped out.
People hate them enough that a lot of people actually support or at least approve of what he did. Its not much more complicated than that.
Why would you be able to launder money by donating it to a random dudes death penalty defence fund?
You have a natural way of writing and I appreciate it.
I think by now we can all verify there were no positive impacts from what Luigi did, so there is absolutely no benefit to funding his legal defence: it's just throwing money away to scammers and lawyers that his rich family could already afford anyways.
There might be more Luigi, if people know they will have their lawyers funded. Then things can change.
Things didn't change with 1 Luigi, won't change with 10, would hardly change with 100, and you'll never get 1000.
1 Luigi could have made real change by participating in politics, instead he threw away his life and his rich boy education. The money in his backpack when he was caught alone could have completely changed people's lives instead of buying a margarita machine for the precinct.
A ratfucking healthcare CEO whose killed far more people with his greed and indifference to human suffering was erased from this planet.
I see that as a net postive.
