After showing support on social media, now fans donate over $30,000 to Luigi Mangione's defence and want Kim Kardashian to protect the alleged killer

Even though Luigi Mangione comes from a well-known and wealthy family, thousands of dollars have been donated anonymously online to support his defence against charges related to the murder of Brian Thompson, the CEO of UnitedHealthcare.

As of Wednesday afternoon, one fundraiser on GiveSendGo, a Christian-based free speech fundraising platform, had raised over $31,000 towards a $200,000 target. A recently established December 4th Legal Committee, perhaps alluding to the shooting date, established the New Jersey-based fund, as quoted in a report by USA Today.

Organisers on GiveSendGo have written directly to Mangione in jail to determine how he would like to use the funds. If he rejects them, the money would be donated to legal funds for other U.S. political prisoners.

Other social media pages have linked to Mangione's jail commissary account soliciting donations for snacks, sodas, an iPad, etc. However, the group behind the December 4th Legal Committee fundraiser has virtually no online presence, and it is not clear how the platform itself ensures the money will go where donors think it will.

As part of her criminal justice efforts, fans ask billionaire Kim Kardashian to protect a suspected CEO killer. People on social media have mockingly asked Kim Kardashian to assist Luigi Mangione, the suspected murderer of United Health Care.

The founder of SKIMS is well-known for her work in criminal justice, and since 2019, she has assisted in obtaining the release of several individuals. Fans believe that Kim can provide some help to Mangione, the suspected killer of UnitedHealth Care CEO Brian Thompson.

Mangione was arrested at a McDonald's in Altoona, Pennsylvania, after police received a tip from someone who recognised him from a picture they had sent out. During the arrest, police found a manifesto detailing Mangione's motivations and grievances against corporate America.
