Leftists are Raising Legal Funds for Alleged UnitedHealthcare CEO Shooter 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”
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 GoFundMe
A 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 Matters
One 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 Know
The 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 #6
December 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 posted
Update #5
December 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. Along with the donations have come hundreds of messages of support for you. We are reaching out to your legal defense as well in case this letter doesn’t reach you. If you or your lawyer want to call us, we can be reached at – -xxxx. You can also reach us by email at [email protected].
In the hopes that this may help you get strong legal representation as you face these charges,
The December 4th Legal Committee
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.
DONATE
Donations tax deductible
to the full extent allowed by law.
Comments
These are the same folks who will force us into euthanization camps when our elderly health care costs interfere with paying for their hedonistic endeavors and free stuff.
Everyone is entitled to a defense. Luigi is not hurting for money to fund his own defense though.
I can’t believe givesendgo is doing this
The idiots, I believe
So disappointed
I would rather givesendgo allow funding for those we dislike, so there are funding opportunities for those we care about.
The proper way to respond to this is not give anything to Luigi
Gonzo, this is the difference between principal and BAMN.
This is a legal defense fund. It’s an American principle that all defendants deserve proper representation, and that extends to funding it.
Instead, enjoy the delicious irony that the left’s b*ch, GoFundMe, finds itself entirely unable to participate in this windfall, having hamstrung themselves by a hastily-drafted “policy” against maintaining accounts for the defense of people “accused(!) of heinous crimes.” — a policy specifically instituted to screw Kyle Rittenhouse out of legal defense funds.
Instead, these leftist haters are forced to reply on GiveSendGo — a principled, highly-Christian organization — to try to obtain their warped version of justice. Just having to view their sacred homepage to make a donation is probably enough to set some of them on fire.
And lo, if you go there and look… there are no fewer than SIX separate funds all purporting to be for Luigi’s defense. Gee, I wonder how many of them are progressives scamming their fellow progressives? (Not even counting the seventh, which uses Luigi’s photo and name to solicit funds for people OTHER than Luigi!) 😆
And his family is wealthy, that’s the kicker lol
Like the fool college kids sending BLM donations thru the internet during the george floyd riots to virtue signal they were ‘anti-racist’. Suckers get used.
“……or, if you do not want the funds, toward the defense of other political prisoners and defendants facing politicized charges.”
Hit the submit button to fast. I wanted to add two more things:
1.) political prisoners?? Sadly, I know the left likes to manipulate language.
2.) defendants facing politicized charges.…I hope certain Republicans can avail themselves of this fund. I wonder if the account would be shut down for denial of delivery?
Follow up: speaking of political prisoners,maybe the J6 defendants could avail themselves of these funds?
The crowdfund manager (named in the listing) is the sole determiner of where the funds go. GiveSendGo has no control over that unless fraud is indicated or reported. Based payouts don’t qualify.
Thanks. It was still fun to speculate!
Sorry, meant, “BIASED payouts don’t qualify.”
My fun was had today “reporting” the scammer who used Luigi’s photo and name to solicit funds for NOT Luigi.
You can’t have a conviction except against the best possible defense. Otherwise it’s not a conviction.
I hope he will be the Sisters’ favorite during his time in prison.
Do these people supporting mangione not understand that he wasn’t customer of UHC, never paid UHC and money for anything, was never denied claim by UHC?
Why didn’t he retain lawyer and go after the insurance company that he believes caused him harm?
Leftists have no moral compass. Shooting someone, let alone shooting someone in the back, who is not threatening you, is murder and is immoral. Leftists, besides having no moral compass, are simply sick. I hope the rest of the nation takes note.
Leftism. It is who they are, and it is what they do.
“GoFundMe’s Terms of Service prohibit raising money for the legal defense of an alleged violent crime,” the company said…”
That’s what GoFundMe posted when they closed Kyle Rittenhouse’s account in 2021. The GiveSendGo for Mangione can’t stand.
Everything there is correct except the last sentence. GiveSendGo is not GoFundMe, and GiveSendGo has no such policy.
What a waste of money. All they’re doing is paying a rich lawyer in a case where the murder is literally on video.
Napoleon…?
Napoleon…?
Napoleon…?
“A 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.”
Life in America circa 2024. Thanks lefties!
You know, that’s nothing but a clickbait comparison. Contributing to the victims of a nutbag shooting is not a political issue, and there are so many victims of nutbags to choose from. Or victims of illegal immigrants. Or hurricane victims..Plus, there are dozens of different organizations soliciting funds for each of the above.
Sending money to the CEO Killer is a hot political issue, and the certified freaks of our country really have only ONE place to clock in on this one, and it’s GiveSendGo.
Let them go to Canada or the UK for the health care they imagine is so wonderful.

Arm yourself…they are not joking around and if the news cycle is inundated with self-defense stories then a message will be sent that we are fed up.
There are a number of portents I would heed as indicating trouble ahead on the streets, but a bunch of loons black-holing their money to a courtroom lawyer would’t be one of them.
let the left dump tons of money into this
less they have to spend on some other
cause….
Ah, Napoleon!
