Summary
Luigi Mangione, charged with the December 2024 murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, released his first public statement through a new website launched by his defense team.
He expressed gratitude for widespread support and acknowledged the letters he has received. The website provides case updates and a fundraiser, which has raised over $400,000.
Mangione has gained a following among those frustrated with the U.S. healthcare system. A poll found 41% of voters under 30 viewed the assassination as acceptable.
His next court date is Feb. 21.
The statement reads, “I am overwhelmed by—and grateful for—everyone who has written me to share their stories and express their support. Powerfully, this support has transcended political, racial, and even class divisions, as mail has flooded MDC from across the country, and around the globe. While it is impossible for me to reply to most letters, please know that I read every one that I receive. Thank you again to everyone who took the time to write. I look forward to hearing more in the future.”
Still dont get it why he is still charged over somthg he obviously didnt do. Is justice sociale bad in the US, why people dont react. Like O.J. Simpson case but in reverse, everybody knows Luigi is not guilty…
These images could be false leads just as much as Luigi could be a false arrest. People assume these pictures are “the guy” just because they were presented first.
Do you realise that the assassination has been recorded? Guy on the left is the suspect.
He has not once said he didn’t do it has he? I think this whole conspiracy theory like most is silly.
Yeah he did it, that’s why he’s a hero.
Bruh you never considered he wanted to make himself look like the suspect, the pics of the suspect were all over the news before he got arrested. He had plenty of time to take similar (not exactly the same) outfits, a gun and write a manifesto…
We are talking about facts, what are his motivation is not important.
He is not a hero, he is either a deranged man wanting to get fame or a stupid chap that wanted to make fun of the police. And do you want to know how i know that? Cause there is a factual proof in the actual recording of the suspect comitting the crime… And its obviously not him… And btw he cant speak to the press, you dont know if he will plead guilty or not…
Can’t rationalize with a conspiracy theorist
Bruh, just look at the pics…
Grainy surveillance means jack shit, in any case I will it rationalize with a conspiracy theorist, that’s like debating religion with my bible thumping dad
Grainy ? WTF are you talking about? Its the proof you didnt look at them…
And do you want to know how i know that? Cause there is a factual proof in the actual recording of the suspect comitting the crime… And its obviously not him…
Look everyone! A random on the internet has totally solved the case!
Jokes aside- maybe you should step in and let Bragg know he has nothing and demand a dismissal with prejudice.
Lol ironically, people do are stupid enough not to see how obvious it is… Luigi was indeed wrong when he siad that was an insult to americans intelligence…

… is an insult to American intelligence.
Facts are not insults, they are facts. I mean, they voted for Trump…
This is some flat-earther level shit right here.
Then prove your point, shoudnt be too difficult to explain how he grew a mono eyebrow and got taller overnight, if this is flat earther level…
Yeah - I don’t discuss things with conspiracy theorists. You can make up bullshit MUCH faster than I can even start to dig up actual evidence and support for my arguments. And after I’ve spent hours generating a fact-supported response you’ll just say “OH THE POLICE LIE SO I’M GOING TO IGNORE YOU” or something. I’ve been there, got the t-shirt, and will not return.
Bruh… The police didnt said anything… Thats the point of a trial, its not public. And tbh the suspect pics are true, they never lied. Its the prosecutor who is dumb as fuck for charging Luigi while not considering the main element : recordings of the crime.
Chill down buddy, of you dont want to discuss, dont comment…
I agree, he saw the picture, got the same clothes and the manifest, and jumped into his time machine to go back in time to get himself on security cams before the murder happened.
There are ni pics of Luigi like this before the murder. All the pics you can see if him are from the McDonald’s. The others are from the suspect and shows clearly someone else.
So he just happened to have a gun on him in Pennsylvania that coincidentally matched the ballistic evidence in Manhattan?
Security camera footage that shows where the assassin dumped the gun and backpack, suppress the footage, have chatGPT whip up a manifesto, pin it on some guy with a similar nose.
Like, seriously, when’s the last time you saw a cop outside of a cop T.V. show? Are we still pretending they have the publics best interests at heart?

Just because that’s what the police said doesn’t make it true. Police are known liars and have been caught countless times arresting the wrong person, planting evidence, and/or lying to get an arrest and make themselves not look as inept as they are.
The police need to punish someone. If a crime has been committed, that’s a bonus. If they are punishing the preparator of the crime, that’s a double-bonus. If they can murder you, they get a paid vacation while the union takes care of the paperwork.
All I know is he was at my place that night, so couldn’t have been him.
This is a better take than conspiracy shit tbh. Personally, I was ice skating with the guy.
For those who read the summary rather than the article, here is the website that Luigi’s defense team created: www.luigimangioneinfo.com
People can’t just go around killing loved ones…
Except CEOs
What’s his website?
Soooo… if so many people here seem to think Luigi didn’t do it, then why is everyone rushing to his defense? Why all the memes? Why the aggressive defense of an “innocent man?”
If he didn’t do it, then aren’t you all just hero-worshiping some random dude, while the “real” shooter is still at large?
Let’s assume Luigi is innocent as a result of “jUsT LoOk aT tEh viDeO!”, then that means the focus would shift on finding who the actual shooter is. And considering how everyone around here seems to be pro-murder depending on who the victim happens to be, that would mean your hero-at-large would be at risk of getting discovered and arrested.
If Luigi is innocent, and you all want the identity of the “real” shooter to remain safely unknown, as one would think you should… maybe you’d be best served by having Luigi taking one for the team?
Just a thought.
How weird. It’s almost like Lemmy isn’t a single individual who can’t get their story straight, but rather a collective of different people who have different opinions, some of which contradict each other.
Shit logic is shit.
If Luigi is innocent
Something to mention here. Even if he didn’t shoot the guy, it is EXTREMELY unlikely that he is innocent. At a minimum, he’d’ve been working with the actual shooter. Since he had the fake id, and etc. assuming they weren’t plants.
