NEW YORK, Dec 11 (Reuters) - In the days since Luigi Mangione was charged with murder for gunning down a top health insurance executive, more than a thousand donations have poured into an online fundraiser for his legal defense, with messages supporting him and even celebrating the crime.
…
Most of the messages on the crowd-sourced fundraising site GiveSendGo reflect a deep frustration shared by many Americans over the U.S. healthcare system - where some treatments and reimbursements can be denied to patients depending on their insurance coverage - as well as broader anger over rising income inequality and soaring executive pay.
So how do we donate to something that isn’t a scam to get our money lol
The crime he is accused of has been broadly condemned
Uhh, no, it’s not.
It’s disappointing to see even Reuters dancing around the topic of the fully justified and wildly popular outrage against corporate America. They’re trying so hard to whitewash this and paint support for Luigi as “disturbing” while painstakingly tip-toeing around the actual issues. I expected better of Reuters than contributing to the bootlicking editorializing that’s going on in this article.
If he gets tried and comes out not guilty. There is going to be the biggest spontaneous parties ever.
You think people partied hard for the Rodney King verdict?
This would be insane.
The US elected a convicted felon to the presidency and you’re shocked an alleged felon is somewhat popular? We are talking about a country that has become entirely obsessed with “hurting the right people”.
