ABC News ^ | December 24, 2024 | Bill Hutchinson

As Luigi Mangione pleaded not guilty Monday to state murder and terrorism charges in the brazen killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, supporters of the suspect continued to donate tens of thousands of dollars for a defense fund established for him, leaving law enforcement officials worried Mangione is being turned into a martyr.

Several online defense funds have been created for Mangione by anonymous people, including one on the crowdfunding website GiveSendGo that as of Tuesday morning had raised over $200,000.

More from the “law and order” left. What utter hypocrites.

I always thought these crowd funding sites banned funding campaigns for violent criminals. More hypocriisy.

Law and order left is just another way of saying anarcho-communists. They push order, and manipulate the definition or order, to create disorder in order to allow themselves to suggest replacing the old system with the new system under their command.

Part of the Nazi playbook to subjugate America into totalitarianism.

If there’s precedent for blocking funds for people on the right, then they have to get the lawyers going to block it for a murderer like this one. He and his family must be pretty confident that SOMEONE on a jury will vote against convicting him in leftist New York. Then he’s a leftist hero for life.

Wonder if the public will ever figure out that it was actually Democrat Barack Hussein Obama / Democrat Nancy Pelosi et al (assisted by RINO John McCain, etc.) that first destroyed America’s healthcare system?

Making sure that THEY were EXEMPT from what they foisted upon the American public?

Why I don’t send money to GoFundMe.

They killed funds for defense of people like Officer Derek Chauvin and Kyle Rittenhouse.

EVERYONE has a right to a legal defense. Our future first VP/second president John Adams defended the British forces at the Boston Massacre of March 5, 1770.

Even cold-blooded murderers like this Marxist/anarchist SOB. He even deserves “end of life care” and I would - without joy or malice - offer my services to help terminate his sorry waste of a life by lethal injection in a heartbeat.

On the plus side they poured up to $2.5 billion dollars down the drain trying to get Mrs Harris elected so let them waste even more money. I can’t see him getting let off, in this case, no matter how much they waste on lawyers.

GiveSendGo is a Christian crowd funding site which is not hypocritical. They hosted crowdfunding for Kyle Rittenhouse and Gabriel Metcalf.

Kyle is the young man who defended himself during the Kenosha Wisconsin riots. Gabe is the man who is being prosecuted for having a single shot shotgun in a gun free school zone in Billings, Montana.

They do not refuse fundraising for people accused of crimes.

Luigi is a total loony tune. I heard his attorney speak and thought she put zero thought into her remarks; she was stuttering around and sounded stultified, unoriginal, like a TV script. Puhleez. Like she put about five minutes thought into what she had to say.

Anyway, Luigi is totally nuts and will remain in an insane asylum for the dangerously criminally insane for the rest of his days. Luigi killed the CEO for one reason and one reason only IMHO—to make a big splash in the public consciousness and gain a lot of attention. Luigi had no scruples or principles. Luigi is simply an evil person.

Givesendgo has always allowed funds to be raised for legal defense under this really bizarre concept of innocent until proven guilty. GoFundMe pick guilt and innocence, winners and losers, and picks political favorites.

So this fundraiser is consistent with their T&C.

Slippery slope here people accused of the level of crime Mangione is need high priced lawyers.

You may not like Mangione but you probably like Kyle Rittenhouse or Daniel Penny and so on.

So the fundraising trying to shut down the fundraising how Soviet of you.

Shows the utter stupidity of these people. His family is wealthy and most likely paying for his high priced legal team, since they were hired before this money came in. The $200k probably barely paid their retainer.
