GoFundMes for Luigi Mangione's Legal Defense Emerge After Police ID Him as Suspect in United Health CEO Killing: 'I Hope He Can Be Comfortable'

"We are raising funds to support a critical legal defense in the fight against unchecked corporate power and a system that continues to favor the few over everyone else. This case isn't just about one individual—it's about challenging a status quo that protects the interest of the powerful at the expense of justice and fairness," read one of the fundraising pages that was quickly removed by GoFundMe.

good.
- Bootlicker
  
  naw, not my type of fetish, im more into licking other things
- You must be one of those temporarily embarrassed billionaires.
  
  On Lemmy? As if. Most likely just another billionaire wannabe.
  
  i wish i was a billionaire so i could donate it to feed starving children.
  
  If that’s what you’re passionate about (helping others) you will never be a billionaire.
  They only like to pretend to do good things to try and whitewash their reputation.
  
  good because i never want to be rich. money corrupts people.
  
  Yet you’re not a fan of removing that corruption (cancer) from the Earth by violent means.
  I wonder if you think any other means could be used to remove such people from power, as from what I can see people protest and are violently crushed, people can try political means (Bernie/Corbyn) and the media machine will come out in force to slander them, people can march but will be vilified for causing a nuisance.
  It seems to me like violence is the only thing that can spur on a revolution. Hello Syria, Libya, Hamas, the Americans kicking out my country over taxes.
  
  well Americans can do as they wish. Up here in Canada I'm just going to not condone violence.
  
  I am not American either, they don’t have a monopoly on violence, well geo-politically they might do actually.
  Anyway, as I said in the other thread I don’t judge you and was just interested in hearing another perspective, as clearly I am anti-social to some degree, so it’s interesting to hear from people who are not.
  
  i am also anti-social. I don't get along with people because they are right wingers and think COVID was fake and blah blah.
  
  I was referring to the anti-social personality type in which someone is not adverse to breaking laws, lying, stealing, etc. rather than id rather not socialise with people, although that is true too.
  
  oh, i just don't talk to people much because i don't really get along with much people.
- Why good? Genuinely curious.
  Do you only support murder if it’s systemic and done in the interests of shareholders?
  
  i don't support murder at all.
  
  Fair, even if I think it’s a little naive.
  Say, a man is going to go and murder an entire city and to stop him you must kill him. You’re saying you wouldn’t support that and would be happy for a whole city to die instead?
  
  So your saying the CEO of United healthcare murdered people? Then he should of been charged. People should not be Judge Dredd.
  
  I am saying the system he helped caused people to die that did not need to die. I am saying it causes untold suffering to their families and friends.
  It seems to me that systemic suffering is fine as long as shareholder value is increased.
  Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.

  I live my life similar to Luigi, although to a lesser extent. In that I don’t let things like the law dictate what I will and will not do, more that I will weigh up the pros and cons of a particular action. When a person doesn’t believe the world is being run morally we will go off our own morals of what we believe is right and I truly believe the world would be a better place if certain people were not in it anymore. If you can kill 1 person and it improves the lives of say 100 people , then have at it and kill that sob.
  If you were in a room with Hitler before he came to power and you some how knew what he would go on to do, are you saying you wouldn’t have killed him?
  
  Would i Kill Hitler? no, because i am not one to take someone's life. I don't think anyone has that right. and if it's committed, they will be tried in court and thrown away in jail.
  
  Appreciate your honesty, even if I think it’s a little misguided.
  I would have put a bullet in Hitler’s head without hesitation if I knew how many people he would go on to kill, I actually think it would be my responsibility to make the world a better place.
  If I was tried for that crime and sentenced to life in prison, then I would accept that as the cost of doing the right thing.
  Now I imagine Luigi wrestled with the same things and is happy to face charges for doing what he thought was right and I find that admirable, much more admirable than letting someone like Hitler cause millions of deaths because I didn’t want to get my hands dirty.
  I want you to know I am not judging you and I support your belief in your morals and where you draw the line, I just wanted to open a discussion as someone who is somewhere on the ASPD spectrum, it always interests me what lines people have and their reasons for them.
  Have a nice day. 😊
  
  well i don't consider it mis-guided, just learning from history.
  
  History is rife with people being murdered to stop them from more murdering.
  
  right. lets stop that.
  
  But you said you wouldn’t kill Hitler even if you had knowledge he would go on to cause millions of deaths. I think that is misguided, in that your reasoning isn’t sound. Because you think murder is wrong you would allow millions to die for the sake of one monster.
  Now if you’d come back and said something along the lines that perhaps someone else would have taken hitlers place and nothing would really have changed would have been a different discussion, but you didn’t so I have to assume you didn’t think that and you just object to murder, even to save a life.
  
  again, I don't believe i have the right to take someone's life, and nobody else does.
  
  This reeks of privilege.
  
  honey, you have no clue what that word even means.
  
  Yeah, its like someone who's never been put into that position trying to judge people from their ignorance. You know, you.
  
  LMFAO you think you know my life ahaha! 😂
  
  You believe you came to this value alone but it’s the kind of passivity the ruling class wants you to demonstrate. “Nobody is above the law” is another one, but the US just elected a 34-time felon.
  Starting to see things any more clearly yet? If not, look inward. Harder…
  
  You are right. nobody is above the law
  
  Except that some clearly are in practice. It's a nice platitude, but it means nothing without action backing it up.
  
  Murder only applies to humans
  
  Yes and?
  
  Sorry, didn't realize you couldn't pick up on the subtext. I'm implying that the rich aren't human.
  
  i agree.
  
  Glad the scale tips the other way.
  
  what does this mean?
