“I am overwhelmed by — and grateful for — everyone who has written me to share their stories and express their support,”
Cities are burned down without consequence; universities invaded and damaged to the tune of millions of dollars yet the perpetrators are forgiven and released by prosecutors and judges; Tesla cars, charging stations and dealerships are vandalized, shot up and burned, and the murder of a corporate executives is considered “acceptable” by a huge number of Americans.

Luigi Mangione gets largest donation yet from mystery giver: ‘Quite exceptional’
A mystery donor has given the biggest donation so far to Luigi Mangione’s defense fund, inspired by the “quite exceptional” support for the man suspected of gunning down UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
The “anonymous giver” gave a staggering $36,500 earlier this week — topping the previous record of $30,000 as the total exploded to over $722,000.
The nameless benefactor said he or she was inspired by the huge swelling of support from a wide cross-section of people for the 26-year-old UPenn graduate charged with the shocking murder outside a Manhattan hotel in December.
