UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson’s alleged killer Luigi Mangione received a lot of attention during the 10 days he was behind bars at Huntingdon State Correctional Institute in Pennsylvania. Mangione has been receiving a lot of support from the common people who have been sympathising with his medical struggles and supporting his murder motive.
The 26-year-old Ivy League graduate received 54 emails, 87 physical letters, as well as 163 financial deposits into his commissary account while behind bars, New York Post reported. This allowed him to purchase snacks and other items.
Support pours in for Luigi Mangione
Mangione has garnered several fans. One admirer described Mangione as “fine [as f–k]” and said she did not believe he did anything wrong. “Killing someone that has taken thousands of peoples lives himself is not wrong imo,” she told the outlet.
One fan even shared a screenshot of her note on TikTok, writing, “Hey Luigi, I’m certain you’ve received countless messages from people all over the world the internet is actually in love with you.” She added that she could be someone Mangione could talk to while in jail, if he wanted to.
Several people disturbingly celebrated Thompson’s death after Mangione’s death. A Disney-themed Boston dance party flashed pictures of Mangione as the Hannah Montana song ‘He Could Be The One’ played in the background. Revelers were seen dancing as a slideshow honoured the alleged killer. In Washington Square Park, a Luigi Mangione lookalike contest was staged, and the doppelganger was offered a $50 prize. On social media, Manguone is being called “Gen-Z’s Ted Bundy.”
