    Yeah but if enough people follow suit, then you might actually get some real change. Either because the insurance companies are terrified of retribution or because the government takes a hint (that is assuming you actually get another election).

    Besides even if he is found guilty (which I’m not sure he is considering he was having breakfast with me at the time of the shooting). A good legal team could still negotiate for a lighter sentence or better conditions.

        Ok so he has money, he has more than enough to treat his own condition. He did what he did because he’s seen so many other people suffer needlessly. He’s a good guy and people feel good helping him out. Let them.

          Treat his own…?

          What the fuck are you talking about? This crowdfunding goes towards his legal defence because he’s in jail for MURDER.

            The guy spent a large part of his free time on Reddit helping other people with his congenital spine condition navigate their insurance claims.

              And then one day he got up and decided to never do it again. He threw away any positive impact he could ever make on the world. He threw away his Ivy League Rich Boy education. It’s all worthless in the shadow of petty revenge, to Luigi Mangione.
