They took down the gofundme. He’s got a bit of an online footprint that’s being actively picked over. Apparently, he got picked up in Pennsylvania, for “being weird”, presumably from staying awake most of the last week. . So far he has not said anything. Whatever manifesto they got him with has not made the rounds, and frankly I’m not overly enthused about getting ahold of it, but yeah., If I have an excess of time and money in the coming seasons . We’ll be hearing from him and helping Mr. Mangione out.

Like I said, extensive online footprint that is being picked over as we speak. I saw a LinkedIn profile that has since been deleted, but of course it was screenshot. People disappear in a lot of the important ways when they go to prison, but we’ll do what we can.

      Wow. She had enough money to live in a million dollar house, send her kids to expensive prep schools but that kind of money is nothing in the face of severe medical expenses in the US of A. It’s worth remembering that if you don’t have 10’s of millions or really hundreds of millions of dollars, you’re a bad medical situation away from physical, mental and financial ruin.

        When I was in America for a few years, what made me leave was the realization that a bad car accident would ruin me financially instead of in my home country where I got an arm cast before they knew my health number.

        So I went home. Fuck that.

          Same here. Now I watch as some people enthusiastically leave for the US. I tell them, “you don’t know yet, you don’t get it” but they think it’ll be different for them. So good luck!

      Holy fuck. Luigi Mangione is a hero. May he live to find a cure for his pain, and may his name inspire us to take action.

      Can we stop posting this? Likely fake. It has been circulated as the manifesto, but is roughly 1500 words despite authorities stating the real one is handwritten and 262 words.

      Also if you look at snapshot history, there are only any from today and yesterday.

        It rings true to me and I have not seen it debunked.

        Just because he had something written on his person doesn’t mean he wouldn’t post more elsewhere. He scheduled Youtube videos to come out, too.

          Just finished reading it and the beliefs it espouses don’t seem consistent with what we’ve uncovered so far about his social media activity. That manifesto reads like it was written by an anarchist, and everything else on Luigi’s social media suggests he was more of a libertarian techbro.

      Just feel the need to remind everyone that this is unverified and Ken Klippensten on Bluesky is saying he does think it’s real
