Summary
Luigi Mangione, accused of murdering UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, has asked his supporters to limit the number of photos they send him to 5 at a time due to overwhelming volume and screening delays.
Charged with murder, he has pleaded not guilty. Mangione’s case sparked debate about healthcare, with supporters sending fan mail and donations.
His legal defense fund has raised over $615,000. He expressed gratitude for the letters, acknowledging support across “political, racial, and even class divisions.”
Mangione also faces federal and Pennsylvania charges. His attorney argues he’s being treated differently, held in federal custody.

Why does he have a ballistic vest on?
Because the media and prosecutors are trying to make him look like a cold hard killer who deserves no sympathy.
CEOs are powerful dangerous people
He’s more important than the president, that’s why
Now that is quite funny.
There’s a good chance he’ll be in prison for the rest of his life. In that eventuality, in order to ensure he feels continually supported over time, you should use a random number generator to decide how many years to wait before sending him a letter. (Doesn’t mean you can’t also send him one now.)
If you are using a random number generator, use it to pick a number of days, not years. Spread the letters over the year.
Even he thinks yall are cringe
While I hope for mistrial, I’m comforted that at least he knows how wildly popular he is. Nobody wants to die, but if they do rig it to make an example of him, he can die knowing his message was heard.
Still, here’s hoping for a happier outcome!
we can do anything you want except stop loving you.
Please note that every photo that is received is screened and reviewed by law enforcement.
The law enforcement agent that has to review all the nudes I keep sending.
Hm. Do they review everything? Sounds like it’s time to send tonnes and tonnes of stories about people who have gotten significantly hurt and/or died as a direct result from the actions of insurance companies.
Someone I know is making preparations for their death this year because they need surgeries and medical care quoted upwards of $500,000USD, insurance won’t do shit, and they can’t solve this economically. They’re not even 30 years old.
In my country, the most they’d have to pay is around $140USD.
Sounds like they should visit you for a while
Yeah, I’ve had those thoughts too. Unfortunately it only applies if you are a resident or a citizen, if not then they’d bill your health insurance or state or what have you.
They can send the bill wherever, as long as they receive the treatment first.
Better that than the alternative
New hobby, send thousands of random internet dick pics to random prisoners so prison guards have to screen them all 😂
Not just dick pics. Pics of dicks infected with STDs. Wikipedia can help with that.
Or maybe just beautiful dicks and send them to the most homophobic prisoners that got jailed for like murdering gay people or something so rumours spread in the prison.
They probably killed the gay people because they were actually gay. We should send them photos of diseased pussy so they can’t get that out of their head and the only thing they can think about is dick.
Keep in mind that everything he gets has to be screened. This means that the more things he gets from random people, the longer the screening line is, which will certainly slow delivery of things from people close to him. And he needs those things a lot more right now.
He’s aware of the level of support he has. If you want to continue to support him, do so by contributing to his legal defense fund. Sending things to him in jail anymore has reached the “diminishing returns” stage now, I think.
If you want to write him stuff. Set a 2 year reminder from now. Talk to him when things die down. Right now there are way too many people sending him mail for him to reply to anything.
You can also look up prison penpal charities. Think of all the lonley people in prison who don’t have fame.
If you are from area where you can be a juror on his case, don’t donate and don’t talk about him online as this will disqualify you.
A man can never receive enough photos of tits so I will have to disagree with you, even if I do agree with the overall sentiment.
I believe those sorts of photos would not reach him anyway.
even mantits ?
Photos of what? Nudes? Cat pictures?
Nude cat pictures :o

That’s not a cat, that’s a gremlin
I really don’t like these cats. Some people think they’re cute, all I can see is a brain with legs
Shaved pussy.
There were some pretty sexual deviant types in the music world back in the thirties.
You mean, like, those hairless cats?
Yes
probably both
A cat who wears a Dickie. Stylin’.
“Due to the volume of photos, they could take longer than usual to be screened and shared. Luigi appreciates the photos that are sent and kindly asks that people send no more than five photos at a time. Please note that every photo that is received is screened and reviewed by law enforcement.”
. . . “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,” Mangione’s statement said. “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.”
I appreciate the rise of folk heroes of all varieties but I think Chris Kluwe’s act is more my speed and within the capacity of many others. Hopefully it sets him up to be able to run for office next year.
Folk heroes are great in all sizes; but I am in more of the mindset of “what have you done for me recently?”
One increased some health benefits for some people due to fear of people copying him; the other got noticed by the press yet changed nothing. One was inconvenienced for a few hours, the other threw away his future
That’s certainly one way of looking at it.
I prefer to see Kluew’s act as not so self-containing; that is, it’s an investment for running for office in the future and substantively changing the laws from the top down. I’d have much preferred Luigi enter politics with that handsome mug of his and fight the good fight alongside the likes of Sanders, AOC, Maxwell Frost, Crockett, et. al. For that is treating the root problem as opposed to merely the symptoms.
