Luigi’s response to a letter he received from a woman whose daughter had been screwed around by UHC.

12/29/24

Dear Karen,

Your letter is the first to make me tear up. I am so, so sorry for what you and your daughter so senselessly had to endure.

Pictures sent via mail are photocopied in a blurry black and white, but if you use (“Free Prints” app) you are able to send one in color. It requires my address and registration # (52503-511). If you are able to send a photo of you/your daughter or the mosaic it would mean a great deal to me. I will put it up on my prison cell wall next to your letter.

Your daughter is blessed to have a mother who loves her so much and fights for her so relentlessly.

Best, Luigi Mangione

    Pretty incredible how this guy shows a million times more humanity than the US president.

    Anyone else thinking there is a none zero chance this is a government sting to get a photo of people who may be future assassins?

        I believe as Luigi has been charged with terrorism charges you would in fact have to inform that you’ve had communications with a “known terrorist” however the DCSA is primarily concerned with known groups and your allegiance to them.

        Writing Luigi wouldn’t be a blocker, I assure you. Lying about it, that would be.

        At my most recent DCSA meeting the guy chuckled at my mug.

          I think since he still has the presumption of innocence before he is convicted they can’t say you communicated with a ‘known’ terrorist, legally it isn’t yet known.

          3D-printed by you, or ordered? If I can buy this off Amazon, I wouldn’t mind adding it to my discretionary spending.

            please don’t buy this from amazon.

            here is an etsy link

            it appears to be from a small seller based in Wisconsin and I didn’t see duplicates of the design, so hopefully this is the original. etsy is not my favorite website but at least in this case it appears to be a better option than buying from of the most destructive megacorps in history, especially when buying something like this with an anti-corpo sentiment

        Tape cut up newspapers to write the message, seal and put stamp, then drive take public transit over to a different town and put it in a mailbox when nobody is looking. Wear a mask, and DONT PULL DOWN YOUR MASK, EVER, not even when some guy or gal is very attractive and you have the urge to show your face.

      Considering there is zero evidence shown that the letter was ever folded and stuffed in an envelope? I’d say there’s a very high non-zero chance that it’s complete bullshit.

    also what a chill guy. I don’t condone murder, but to be fair, the guy he did kill killed many more people indirectly.

    The CEO got what was coming to him.

      Welcome to American prisons, where they have contracts with specific companies to provide (usually abusive) services to inmates with no other choices.

      If there’s an opportunity for a US prison to exploit capitalism to generate revenue, you’d better damned believe they’re already doing it.

      It’s probably a prison thing. Like they need to use a specific app to get photos.

        You are correct. I may or may not know a guy who processes return-to-sender mail and sees prisons rejecting photos and other communications that are not sent via their approved companies. This is the US. Don’t forget that prisons are for kickbacks, nothing more.

    We should make him run for president. The only promise he needs to make is free national healthcare, and he will win by a landslide.
