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.

[–] coldsideofyourpillow@lemmy.cafe 42 points 1 month ago

Not that incredible, even a chair has more empathy than Trump.

[–] Theonetheycall1845@lemmy.world 20 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Trump would rape her daughter and then make them the enemy

"They just let you do that when you're the president!"

"You should not have voted democrat, biggest mistake ever!"

[–] AeonFelis@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

I'm pretty sure Luigi shows a bit more than zero humanity...

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 56 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Make this guy pope or something.

St. Luigi of Baltimore.

Dudes a better person than 99% of government and business leaders.

[–] Muaddib@sopuli.xyz 30 points 1 month ago

He's a hero

[–] Meowie_Gamer@lemmy.world 22 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Luigi's Mansion 4

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.

I know Luigi is innocent, we were having a board game night that whole week.

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 13 points 1 month ago

And we're locking this guy up!?

[–] activ8r@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 month ago (3 children)

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?

[–] IDKWhatUsernametoPutHereLolol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Maybe we need a way to generate and use PGP keys with neurons... 👀

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Now make it so!

yacks another gram and a half of K

[–] WrenFeathers@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

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.

[–] satans_methpipe@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Are we all fedposting right now? I bet getting a top secret civilian clearance will be difficult if you write to Luigi.

[–] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (4 children)

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.

[–] tocopherol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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.

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.

[–] BigMacHole@lemm.ee 10 points 1 month ago

This dude DESERVES to Die after this! TRUE Christian Americans would Want the Child to DIE NEEDLESSLY like our All Power CEOS allow!

[–] Kit@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 1 month ago (2 children)

This seems a bit sus for pitching a specific app.

[–] sbv@sh.itjust.works 19 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] Jtotheb@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] PapaStevesy@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

That's not true, they're also bastions of slave labor and class oppression.

[–] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 19 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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.

[–] A_Very_Big_Fan@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago (9 children)

Is that signature weird or is it my lack of ability to read cursive

[–] BluJay320@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Your signature is actually legible?

[–] Regrettable_incident@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Mine looks like the product of an epileptic rat with a pen up its arse.

[–] sbv@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

oh heavens no child. my signature looks like a crackhead was practicing klingon with a cold.

[–] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 2 points 1 month ago

Mine is, but I spell my name incorrectly. It wasn't intentional I just picked up the habit when I was really young and my handwriting was practiced a bit more

[–] Cenzorrll@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's the signature of a male American that learned cursive in 4th grade before their body was ready for this sort fine muscle control and was never practiced again after learning to sign their name.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

i heard people dont even teach it anymore.

[–] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 month ago (9 children)

Mine is

  • obvious first letter of my first name
  • everything else is basically a scribble
[–] grysbok@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 1 month ago

That's why I always used my dad's signature instead of my mom's (with his permission--so many silly things need signatures)

He writes with his left hand.

[–] sbv@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

Totally sinister

[–] Ascend910@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago

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.
