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

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

Pretty incredible how this guy shows a million times more humanity than the US president.

[–] coldsideofyourpillow@lemmy.cafe 39 points 2 days ago

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

[–] Theonetheycall1845@lemmy.world 19 points 2 days 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!"

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 3 points 2 days ago

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

[–] AeonFelis@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

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

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 64 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Make this guy pope or something.

St. Luigi of Baltimore.

[–] Meowie_Gamer@lemmy.world 20 points 2 days 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.

[–] bane_killgrind@slrpnk.net 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 12 points 2 days ago

And we're locking this guy up!?

[–] Muaddib@sopuli.xyz 98 points 2 days ago

He's a hero

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

This seems a bit sus for pitching a specific app.

[–] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day 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.

[–] sbv@sh.itjust.works 19 points 2 days 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 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days 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 7 points 2 days ago

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

[–] BigMacHole@lemm.ee 69 points 2 days ago

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

[–] activ8r@sh.itjust.works 38 points 2 days 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?

[–] WrenFeathers@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days 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.

[–] IDKWhatUsernametoPutHereLolol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

Now make it so!

yacks another gram and a half of K

[–] satans_methpipe@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days 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 41 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days 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.

My mug:

[–] tocopherol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days 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.

[–] A_Very_Big_Fan@lemmy.world 40 points 3 days ago (6 children)

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

[–] Cenzorrll@lemmy.world 29 points 2 days 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 day ago

i heard people dont even teach it anymore.

[–] BluJay320@lemmy.blahaj.zone 86 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Your signature is actually legible?

[–] crawancon@lemm.ee 30 points 2 days ago

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

[–] Regrettable_incident@lemmy.world 22 points 2 days ago (2 children)

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

[–] sbv@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 days ago

Mine is

  • obvious first letter of my first name
  • everything else is basically a scribble

[–] whoisearth@lemmy.ca 15 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I know your name now Amarkaley Abbrabobos!

[–] Neon@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

It's obviously "Aloy Anderson", the inspiration of the Video game Character "Aloy" from Horizon zero dawn.

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

When I sign my name in cursive I always skip a few letters but it's enough to get the idea since my name is usually somewhere else on the document also.

[–] BedSharkPal@lemmy.ca 31 points 2 days ago (4 children)

Wait, are people actually writing all the letters of their name in their signature?
