Summary
Luigi Mangione, charged with the December 2024 murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, released his first public statement through a new website launched by his defense team.
He expressed gratitude for widespread support and acknowledged the letters he has received. The website provides case updates and a fundraiser, which has raised over $400,000.
Mangione has gained a following among those frustrated with the U.S. healthcare system. A poll found 41% of voters under 30 viewed the assassination as acceptable.
His next court date is Feb. 21.
Haven’t argued with many MAGAts have you? I had an anti-vaxxer do that numerous times because he couldn’t understand math. That precluded him from understanding that his source didn’t support his argument, but he was still posting sources saying he was wrong.
Why would I?
They want an argument, they want to be “challenged” and to “fight the good fight”.
If rational people argue with them, it raises their group cohesion and they all circlejerk about it later.
If rational people do the rational thing and do t engage with them they still need those arguments. So instead of circle jerking with each other, they have to argue with each other. Which fractures their group.
Please be a rational person and stop being the punching bag of the right.
You’ll never change their minds with facts and logic. All you’re doing is reinforcing their beliefs
Just felt like repeating this. It sums up my opinion so nicely. Most of the time, I won’t even give MAGAts the satisfaction of a downvote.
