      FYI, his family is wealthy. They own a country club in Maryland. Not that I’m opposed to crowd-funding his defense. I think it would send another message that the greedy health insurance companies need to hear loud and clear.

          In my experience, a fair amount of “rich kids” in the millenial and gen z age range are pretty disillusioned with the system. They might not have come to their conclusions through struggle and inequality. But got there because of empathy.

          I think that it has to do with how they were taught in school and when they were young. They grow up on values of kindness and generosity and then, in young adulthood, realize they have benefitted from other peoples labor. The internet and a trend towards more self-awareness probably contribute.

          That certainly isn’t the case for all rich kids. Most of them are oblivious assholes. But I’ve met a few.

            I had that impulse but its obviously a less usual thing. Was just thinkint about that stuff that said McKinsey only hires rich kids, and like thinking as a rich kid at that fart factory, “God it sucks to be this shitty”

            They can be better than that and I applaud those of them who do so regardless of their past motivations or character.

          There’s a lot of speculation, but his Twitter banner was an x-ray of a bunch of screws in his spine, and his reading list included a lot of books about backpain.

          It’s a good question, I’m very curious to know if he did this for political reasons, personal reasons, or both.

          Seems like he is a claims adjuster. I’m guessing he has met a lot of people who he has to turn down

          I fell for a joke.

            Source that for me because literally nothing I’ve read in the past hour tracks with what you just said.

              Actually, I think that was supposed to be a joke. He was adjusting. Har har. Went over my head.

              So, I guess he’s a software developer of some kind based on what the news released about his education.

      Just be sure to do it via cash so they can’t put you on a list.

      Donation services and apps usually have clauses about not using the money for criminal defence, so they’ll just refund it.

          There are ways to do it, most of them tracked to prevent the funding of terrorism and crime.

          Bringing a suitcase full of cash into the country isn’t going to work, either. They’ll just seize it at the border.

          You could always go to the effort to establish a charity, but I’m not a US citizen so I don’t know enough about what’s allowed or available with respect to what qualifies something to be a charity.

          Maybe if you make it a “Christian” organization dedicated to providing legal defence to “wayward souls” or something?

            I don’t think they’ll be granting 501C status to your “Let’s shoot the billionaires” organization.

    had a ghost gun capable of firing a 9 mm round and a suppressor, police said. The gun and suppressor were “consistent with the weapon used in the murder,” NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said. The gun “may have been made on a 3D printer,” police said.

    Mangione also had a three-page handwritten document “that speaks to his motivation and mindset,” Tisch said.

    Man if you assassinate someone maybe don’t keep the weapon and manifesto on your person.

        He must have known he would get caught right? Why else keep a written note on him? He must have intended for it to be found and mentioned in the news to further bring attention to the broken healthcare system

          I think you’re halfway there - he probably did mean for it to be found, if he was killed or died in the interim.

          That would have been his failsafe to tell his story to the world.

          Source: there isn’t one, it’s simply one line of supposition

        Wiggin may be incompetent but at least he’s not a class traitor. Never forget that he let Mona Simpson go rather than hand her over to Mr Burns.
