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.
Only 41%? That’s scary, it’s not bad, but it’s concerning. That means 59% of people are okay with being fucked with.
Like, come on, we’ve tried every single thing imaginable with corrupted people. Reasoning, Logic, Passive-Aggressive .etc and they just laugh before fucking us even harder. How the fuck can anyone sit there and thumb around going “uh yeah shooting that CEO that’s responsible for why my medical bills are sky high and don’t cover half of my procedures, that’s unacceptable”. What other option could there have been?
