Man charged with health insurance CEO murder to accept $300,000 in donations
Lawyer says 26-year-old accused ‘very much appreciates the outpouring of support’ on fundraising platform
Mangione “very much appreciates the outpouring of support”, said a statement on GiveSendGo that was attributed to his attorney, Karen Friedman Agnifilo.
There’s only one occurrence of Luigi. The slogan was “free Luigi”, not “free Mangione”.
obligatory: I do not condone violence.
I just think that his was a political act like other historical regicides. Ravaillac is a historical name, like Luigi has now become. Why avoid it?
I do condone violence in self defense, such as against imminent threats including the mass murder of people in the pursuit of profits.
I don’t condone violence in general though.
Asking someone if they support violence is like asking if they support the coriolis effect. It’s a fact of life, not just for humans but every living thing, that we have to deal with sometimes. It’s a nonsensical question in most contexts.
Better to ask if someone supports self-defense against violence.
In this case, if they support self-defense against institutional violence.
