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.

    It’s not that weird if you think about it. They could be trying to portray him as a flight risk since he also had his passport.

      He already fled the state where the crime took place, seems like portraying him as a flight risk would have been easy. Are we arguing the passport was also planted?

        No, and that’s not how assessing flight risk works. I’m not saying that he necessarily isn’t a flight risk. He did have his passport on him. It just sounds like there is the possibility that law enforcement added extra “evidence” so that they could be sure he wouldn’t be let out on bail.

          If money was the only difference between flight risk and not then fundamentally the concept of Bail wouldn’t make any sense.

          EDIT: It also doesn’t make sense for other reasons, but thats besides the point.
