Defense fund established by supporters of suspected CEO killer Luigi Mangione tops $100,000
Supporters of the suspect are donating tens of thousands of dollars for a defense fund established for him, leaving law enforcement officials worried Mangione is being turned into a martyr.
Referring to the Thompson killing, Frankel added, "You can be up in arms about the healthcare industry, but you can't threaten or actually hurt members of the healthcare industry."
Right. They can hurt you but you can't hurt them.
To me healthcare starts and ends with a doctors/nurses/therapists/people who are actually helping, the rest are just parasites trying to make money on their work.
💯
Actually I can. Evidenced by someone doing it.
They can refuse to stop the preventable death of you, your family, your friends. That's logically identical to causing those deaths especially as the money it would cost to prevent such deaths is money they have agreed to pay (except in almost every instance when it comes time to pay)
“Referring to the killing of a member of the healthcare industry, this dipshit said that members of the healthcare industry couldn’t be hurt.”
What do they have to be on to not count that evil cunt being worm food as being hurt? Motherfucker he ain’t just hurt he’s dead(and that brings me joy).
leaving law enforcement officials worried Mangione is being turned into a martyr.
Did they just accidentally admit that they intend to kill him?
I think the title of martyr can be applied to a prisoner as well. Usually a prisoner that isn't allowed to return after his time is served. So even if they don't kill him, the longer he's held, the more of a martyr he is.
Good point. I guess it's really suffering or sacrificing for a cause that makes someone a martyr. Still though, being self aware that what you are doing is making someone into a martyr for the general public and then continuing to do it is grim as hell.
To be martyred literally means to be killed.
Why lie?
Referring to the Thompson killing, Frankel added, "You can be up in arms about the healthcare industry, but you can't threaten or actually hurt members of the healthcare industry.
Ironic to use that phrase 🤔
The original usage of ‘up in arms’ was entirely literal. To be ‘in arms’ or ‘at arms’ was to be equipped with weapons and armour.
Modern usage still defines it as preparing for a fight, Frankel.
Only members of the healthcare industry are... Allowed to hurt us?
It breaks down. The super rich are about to find out maybe that they still are a party of the social contract and their dues are up. They owe us. And if they don't give willingly we will take.
I would love to see Thomas Jefferson in a live televised debate with this guy about what it means to be an American.
That's fine.
Good thing insurance is in the healthcare denial industry.
They haven't heard yet if Luigi is going to accept the donation, but here's the link to the donation page: https://www.givesendgo.com/legalfund-ceo-shooting-suspect
This must feel crazy to him. I kinda doubt he thought he'd get this kind of support from people. I hope it helping him stay sane while in prison.
I feel like it’d be millions if the other fundraising sites weren’t cowards and class traitors.
I don't think fundraising middleman websites are usually run by the working class
So like, 1% of his net worth, neat. It's insane, to me, that people would throw so much of their hard-earned money at somebody who already has inherited more than enough.
Save your money, folks; I don't think the millionaire is going to have trouble getting a lawyer.
Luigi doesn't have a $100m net worth. He had a privileged upbringing but has inherited basically nothing. His net worth appears to be closer to zero than mine.
Source please?

This article doesn't even go into the $30M+ inheritance from his grandmother that Luigi may be getting cut out of, as her will stipulates that no family members charged with serious crimes will receive anything.
It's more of a show of support for the action, not the person, I expect.
