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.
Yes but a more direct comparison would be to voters under 30. Around 46% of 18-29 yr. olds supported Trump.
46% of those who voted.
Yes. And the original poll estimated that 41% of voters under 30 approved of Mangione’s actions. My point is statistics are more valuable and informative when you try your best to compare apples to apples.
