The way that the left has celebrated alleged murderer Luigi Mangione is downright sickening. Now they’re raising money for him, even though he has been indicted for first-degree murder in furtherance of terrorism.
A GiveSendGo account has been set up to raise funds for his legal expenses. They have a goal of $500,000, and at the time of this writing, the account already has more than $155,000.
Newsweek notes that the Mangione account has raised more money than another account set up for the victims of the recent school shooting in Wisconsin:
Luigi Mangione Fundraiser Raises More Than Madison Shooting Victim GoFundMeA GiveSendGo fundraiser created for alleged UnitedHealthcare CEO shooter Luigi Mangione received more donations in its first 24 hours than a GoFundMe for victims of the shooting at Abundant Life Christian School in Madison, Wisconsin.Why It MattersOne teacher and a teenage student died Monday when suspected shooter Natalie “Samantha” Rupnow, 15, opened fire at ALCS before killing herself on Monday. Six other people were injured in the shooting with two students experiencing life-threatening injuries.On Tuesday, Mangione, 26, was charged in New York with first-degree murder in furtherance of terrorism for allegedly killing UHC CEO Brian Thompson on December 4. If convicted, Mangione could be facing life imprisonment without parole.What To KnowThe December 4 Legal Committee, a group composed of 15 volunteers from around the country formed after Thompson’s death, created its Mangione GiveSendGo fundraiser to help the Ivy League grad with his legal fees.
According to the GiveSendGo account, which we will not link to, the founders of the campaign sent Mangione a letter about a new attorney:
Update #6December 14th, 2024Luigi has a new lawyer, Karen Friedman Agnifilo, in NY. We’re reaching out to her with the letter we wrote Luigi (with an updated # for how much we’ve raised) to ask her to pass it along to him and ascertain what he would like done with the money. We’ll keep you postedUpdate #5December 11th, 2024The letter is on its way! Here’s what we wrote:Dear Luigi Mangione,You are going through a lot right now, but we wanted to let you know that we set up a legal defense fund for you and we have received over $30,000 and counting to put towards your defense or, if you do not want the funds, toward the defense of other political prisoners and defendants facing politicized charges.

There is even a new account on Twitter/X posting comments from donors:
They’re openly celebrating a cold-blooded killer who shot an innocent man in the back. Astounding.
