NEW YORK, Dec 11 (Reuters) - In the days since Luigi Mangione was charged with murder for gunning down a top health insurance executive, more than a thousand donations have poured into an online fundraiser for his legal defense, with messages supporting him and even celebrating the crime.

...

Most of the messages on the crowd-sourced fundraising site GiveSendGo reflect a deep frustration shared by many Americans over the U.S. healthcare system - where some treatments and reimbursements can be denied to patients depending on their insurance coverage - as well as broader anger over rising income inequality and soaring executive pay.

The crime he is accused of has been broadly condemned

Uhh, no, it's not.

Saying the crime was "broadly condemned" in the same article about the flood of money and support he's received, with a large section of said article being about the praise given online, is an interesting way to frame things.

Shhhhh... they are trying to create a narrative! You can't just go contradicting them like that!

The crime he is accused of has been broadly condemned by the victims peers, the public however has remained supportive of his actions.

They paid one man to go to California and condemn it and another man to go to florida and condemn it. See, broadly condemned.

Murder has been broadly condemned. In fact, one guy condemned the murder of health insurance customers so much that he murdered a CEO. In general, we want LESS murder.
