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

    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?

      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.

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

        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.

          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.

          3D-printed by you, or ordered? If I can buy this off Amazon, I wouldn’t mind adding it to my discretionary spending.

            please don’t buy this from amazon.

            here is an etsy link

            it appears to be from a small seller based in Wisconsin and I didn’t see duplicates of the design, so hopefully this is the original. etsy is not my favorite website but at least in this case it appears to be a better option than buying from of the most destructive megacorps in history, especially when buying something like this with an anti-corpo sentiment

        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.
