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'

GoFundMe pages are the latest example of support for Luigi Mangione, and the public's frustration with the health insurance industry.

“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.

      After he is arraigned (first appearance before a judge) AND assuming bail is set in an amount he cannot pay AND that he is held in Rikers (HUGE safety concerns) you can look him up here and then send money for commissary and sometimes pay bail.

      I believe you must provide personally identifying information to send money/pay. There is no guarantee that the City won’t try to find a way to seize money sent.

        Yeah, Rikers isn’t secure enough to keep out a corpo hitman, even if all the prisoners are on his side.

          Why would they want to off this kid.

          We all know why he did this, it isn’t a secret that insurance companies are paying evil. If anything killing him now will rally more people to his cause.

          They will just re-write history as they did with Guy Fawkes and have us singing songs as though he was a bad guy and not someone who wanted to rock the establishment.

            Why would they want to off this kid.

            So that he can’t be tried and found non-guilty. So that he wouldn’t spread dangerous ideas. So that he pays for his transgressions.

            I don’t know what could be their reasoning, but I would expect them wanting to off him behind the scenes rather than await for the trial results.

        Aaaand book marked. If there is no justice then at least he will never go a day without his favorite ramen.
