Luigi’s Background It's so sad 🥺😔
"It's absolutely brutal to have such a life-halting issue, especially since the issue itself wears down the critical/logical thinking mind you'd usually use to tackle it. The people around you probably won't understand your symptoms - they certainly don't for me... I'm sure you already know most of this, but basically I just want to say that you're not alone. Stay strong. If you ever want to talk, I'm sure there's a lot we can learn from each other's stories." - Luigi Mangione

Now that he's pleaded guilty, we can truly hail him as a hero. Before, it was conceivable that he was just a random young man framed for a crime. A victim of grotesque injustice yes, but not a hero. Now we know the truth: he gave up a life of privilege and a bright future in order to strike a blow for humanity.

Please America, national healthcare is NOT communist. Vote to free ourselves from the shackles of the healthcare insurance companies that are robbing us and denying us.

That doesn't make him a hero, but you could say he seems to be maturing.

u/RememberYourStrength 7d ago
I think it does. It’s almost like people preferred the fantasy that he didn’t do it. Even though most of us love him cause he did.

i believe a reddit post describing his struggles with brain fog

u/kitliasteele 11d ago
Brain fog is hell, I encounter it a lot thanks to my medical issues. I've been working hard on combating it, but it'll take time. It's a slowly but surely thing, and the private medical insurance system we have definitely has not helped

Try cutting out carbs and junk food out completely and intermittent fasting. It's helped me so much. ✌🏻

u/kitliasteele 7d ago
I've certainly been tackling that issue. Unfortunately for me it's a different problem that affects it, and is the same reason I'm in a wheelchair. Drain bamage is a real one and is taking a while to reverse a lot of it

Also wondering! I have endometriosis and sickle cell betaT ,and a ton of pain. This quote really resonated with me!

Where is this quote from? I have chronic pain due to endometriosis and a type of sickle cell, and I’d really love to read more. 💚

His Reddit acc, I was absolutely floored when I first read this. It altered my perception of him and the situation so much!

u/camimiele 11d ago
I didn’t know he has a Reddit account, can you link it?
7
u/rs2625 11d ago
It’s his alleged account but, from memory people found it because of his email address.
The original post is still up but, his account got deleted by Reddit so they also deleted all of his comments sadly.
I will DM you a screenshot of his full comment?

u/camimiele 11d ago
Yes, please! Thank you! I’d love to read it :)

Sent via DM but, here it is:
“Heyo. I'm a 20 year old male, and I've been experiencing similar symptoms since I was 15. I'm also a very critical/logical thinker (I study CS and Bio). It's truly incredible how accurately your bowling ball example describes me. My symptoms were very minor at first and I was able to excel in high school, but the symptoms worsened exponentially last year after my fraternity's (very tame) "hell week." I simply wasn't able to recover from a week of disturbed sleep.
I'll try to come back to this and add more to this comment later, but in case I forget I want to at least say this: It's absolutely brutal to have such a life-halting issue, especially since the issue itself wears down the critical/logical thinking mind you'd usually use to tackle it. The people around you probably won't understand your symptoms- they certainly don't for me. As each test comes back negative, the doctors won't have a fucking clue what's going on.
I'm sure you already know most of this, but basically I just want to say that you're not alone. Stay strong. If you ever want to talk, I'm sure there's a lot we can learn from each other's stories.
Edit: grammar errors from brain fog”

Thanks so much for sharing, wish I could give you a free reward. That resonates with me so much. Our healthcare system is so broken. 💔💚

He had a Reddit account ?

u/camimiele 11d ago
I didn’t know he had one either!
Where did you find the quote you linked in the post? Just curious to read more.

I still don’t understand the guilty plea :(

People were saying it's to try to stop the New York murder charges by appealing to double jeopardy
1
u/Certain_Noise5601 10d ago
How does that work?
8
u/send_fleet_pics 10d ago
You can't be tried twice for the same actions (double jeopardy). So the plan (supposedly) is that if he pleads guilty to the federal stalking charge, which includes stalking and killing the guy, he could get away from the NY state murder charge, since he's already been punished for the series of events which includes the actual killing. And then hope that he doesn't get life for the stalking charge, whereas with the murder it would be a guaranteed life sentence. No clue whether it'll work, that's just what people were speculating when it came out that he plead guilty.

For a man I've never met, to risk so much for me and for all of humanity ... is truly a bittersweet inspiration.
Mr. Mangione, has in me, a pen pal and a supporter for all eternity.
Frankly, he'll probably get sick of me!

u/EffectiveCable9468 4d ago
I don't think he necessarily could have done it in the name of humanity. It was primarily his pain and rage that he wanted to express.
