GiveSendGo stands firmly behind its decision to host content related to Mangione.
“We believe every person is entitled to due process in a court of law — not in the court of public opinion,” Alex Shipley, GiveSendGo’s communications director, said in a statement. “To be absolutely clear, we do not support or condone vigilante justice. However, people have a constitutional right to a strong legal defense, and access to that defense should not be reserved only for the wealthy or those who fit a particular narrative. Our role is to give individuals and their communities the opportunity to fundraise for that defense, because true justice is served when everyone has equal access to a fair trial — regardless of the verdict.”
Because a large amount of people have convinced themselves that he’s a working class hero, when realistically he was well on track to become exactly the sort of corpo techbro they despise.
I’m not sure what bias you think I have here. He’s got a rather extensive and public social media presence, much of which has been backed up and preserved and is accessible for anybody interested to review. His personal interests, Ivy League education, past experiences, are all very well known at this point. Not to mention his family’s significant wealth; his uncle owns a country club and he was set to receive a $100M inheritance from his grandmother.
It’s really hard to see him as anything other than a typical, affluent New England yuppie who lost his marbles.
Maybe he was on track for that or maybe he would have taken a different path, we don’t actually know. But it doesn’t matter because what did happen is he became radicalized against corporations (or at least corporate healthcare) and took action. What he did and what he believes now are far more important than who else he could have become.
I don’t care if he’s an extraterrestrial or a gerbil, eating the rich is awesome.
Because when people see how much he can fundraise, they might be more willing to do it themselves.
I’m investigating some new lighting for my home. I just want to be sure I install it correctly. I don’t want to burn my house down by improperly wiring. I’m also seeing how other people have installed new lights, so I can learn from their successes and mistakes. It’s all very new to me. I didn’t grow up in a house of electricians. But I do know it’s important to measure twice and cut once… so to speak.
It’s unclear so far, how much he specifically has.
His family however, is quite wealthy.
I’ve been waiting for which kind of angle they will take to attack Luigi’s character to get people to change their mind about him.
It appears that they are going with the “but he was rich” strategy in hopes that would somehow turn people against him. Comment sections will probably be flooded with this shit.
Yeah. Hell, even if he IS extremely rich and privileged, that just makes him the GOOD kind of class traitor: the kind with enough privilege to not HAVE to care, but also enough empathy and desire for justice to care anyway.
100 million from his grandmother, but devided between multiple family members

His family is actually very rich but I’d still donate as a statement (if it wasn’t on GiveSendGo)
If I was Aaron Schwartz’d, I’m certain my family would read the headlines on Fox News and be immediately convinced that I am somehow a bad person and deserve to be in prison as punishment
Just because your parents have lots of money, doesn’t mean it will go to your defense fund.
