Summary
Luigi Mangione, charged with the December 2024 murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, released his first public statement through a new website launched by his defense team.
He expressed gratitude for widespread support and acknowledged the letters he has received. The website provides case updates and a fundraiser, which has raised over $400,000.
Mangione has gained a following among those frustrated with the U.S. healthcare system. A poll found 41% of voters under 30 viewed the assassination as acceptable.
His next court date is Feb. 21.
Soooo… if so many people here seem to think Luigi didn’t do it, then why is everyone rushing to his defense? Why all the memes? Why the aggressive defense of an “innocent man?”
If he didn’t do it, then aren’t you all just hero-worshiping some random dude, while the “real” shooter is still at large?
Let’s assume Luigi is innocent as a result of “jUsT LoOk aT tEh viDeO!”, then that means the focus would shift on finding who the actual shooter is. And considering how everyone around here seems to be pro-murder depending on who the victim happens to be, that would mean your hero-at-large would be at risk of getting discovered and arrested.
If Luigi is innocent, and you all want the identity of the “real” shooter to remain safely unknown, as one would think you should… maybe you’d be best served by having Luigi taking one for the team?
Just a thought.
How weird. It’s almost like Lemmy isn’t a single individual who can’t get their story straight, but rather a collective of different people who have different opinions, some of which contradict each other.

Shit logic is shit.
