GiveSendGo stands firmly behind its decision to host content related to Mangione.
“We believe every person is entitled to due process in a court of law — not in the court of public opinion,” Alex Shipley, GiveSendGo’s communications director, said in a statement. “To be absolutely clear, we do not support or condone vigilante justice. However, people have a constitutional right to a strong legal defense, and access to that defense should not be reserved only for the wealthy or those who fit a particular narrative. Our role is to give individuals and their communities the opportunity to fundraise for that defense, because true justice is served when everyone has equal access to a fair trial — regardless of the verdict.”
Okay I still just see you complaining about him being given the options you didn’t have. Not him doing anything specific to earn your hatred.
I’d argue he’s done more to help you than you’ve done to help yourself… so, maybe… consider giving him a little more credit?
Look, I get it. I grew up in a welfare home. I paid my way through college and I really don’t have anything substantial to show for it other than a somewhat okay savings account. I very much envy the people who have so many options and would never know the crippling anxiety of “how can I pay my rent this month” or “It’s a real possibility I could end up on the street if I make just a few bad choices” I hear you so much. But just for this one person… go easy on him for now! Let him earn that hate. He just did all of us a really big favor. There is a very real possibility that if he is found not guilty, he gets on the bull horn and makes a total ass out of himself.
What an almost insultingly absurd thing to say. He’s done nothing for any of us. Killing Thompson didn’t fix a single problem for anyone. Nobody’s claim got approved over this. All he accomplished was giving a bunch of people a justice boner.
Someone has to kick start a movement, become a matyr for everyone to rally around.
Mohamed Bouazizi was just one person who set himself on fire. Isolated, it’s just a man setting himself on fire. However, that incident ended up being action needed for the Tunisian revolution.
A raging justice hard-on, bordering on priapism. It’s important not to understate the magnitude of this erection.
I like having boners. I dunno about you.
And one dead CEO isn’t a fix. It’s a start.
And yet what he did was infinitely more effective than the “Jack shit” approach we’ve been trying for decades.
