    Not sure why you got downvoted so much but that’s true, no matter how many people like Luigi. Now our best hope is that he uses that money to help people :/

      Couldn’t disagree more.

      our best hope is no jury convicts him and he’s let go. The threat of continued violence like what happened with Brian Thompson may scare healthcare execs into doing the right thing. That’s our best hope. Not 300k of chump change handed out to a few of the multitude of people with medical debt in this country.

        The thing is, Luigi is by no means poor. Did he really need that 300k? If so, then yeah you’re right

          His family is rich for sure but the 26 year old doesn’t seem to be. At least not 300k for legal defense rich. I’m not clear if his family is funding him or not but based on his acceptance of the fundraiser and the lack of stories about his family funding him I’m guessing he needs the money.
