GiveSendGo stands firmly behind its decision to host content related to Mangione.
“We believe every person is entitled to due process in a court of law — not in the court of public opinion,” Alex Shipley, GiveSendGo’s communications director, said in a statement. “To be absolutely clear, we do not support or condone vigilante justice. However, people have a constitutional right to a strong legal defense, and access to that defense should not be reserved only for the wealthy or those who fit a particular narrative. Our role is to give individuals and their communities the opportunity to fundraise for that defense, because true justice is served when everyone has equal access to a fair trial — regardless of the verdict.”
What an almost insultingly absurd thing to say. He’s done nothing for any of us. Killing Thompson didn’t fix a single problem for anyone. Nobody’s claim got approved over this. All he accomplished was giving a bunch of people a justice boner.

Someone has to kick start a movement, become a matyr for everyone to rally around.
Mohamed Bouazizi was just one person who set himself on fire. Isolated, it’s just a man setting himself on fire. However, that incident ended up being action needed for the Tunisian revolution.
A raging justice hard-on, bordering on priapism. It’s important not to understate the magnitude of this erection.
I like having boners. I dunno about you.
And one dead CEO isn’t a fix. It’s a start.
