Man charged with health insurance CEO murder to accept $300,000 in donations

Lawyer says 26-year-old accused ‘very much appreciates the outpouring of support’ on fundraising platform

Mangione “very much appreciates the outpouring of support”, said a statement on GiveSendGo that was attributed to his attorney, Karen Friedman Agnifilo.

There's only one occurrence of Luigi. The slogan was "free Luigi", not "free Mangione".

obligatory: I do not condone violence.

I just think that his was a political act like other historical regicides. Ravaillac is a historical name, like Luigi has now become. Why avoid it?

Usually you mention a full name once (as done in the second paragraph) and then only use the last name. Fairly sure that's how it goes for all normal articles. You see the same thing on Wikipedia. I do think the slogan should've been mentioned, though.

True. This post is not telling the whole truth.

this post is not "telling", it is questioning!

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The answer to any headline that's a question is "No".

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

not necessarily.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Well, your post confirms the law

not necessarily

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Except that it does. The answer to the question in your title is No.

if i make another post with the title

"Is the lemming earphone843 mature enough to participate in our conversations?"

the reply, according your rule, would be "no".

right?

You just didn't read the article carefully.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

i did. I always do.

agreed.

previous articles from different journalists, still from theGuardian, were doing exactly that

looking at Vargas' article titles, maybe it's coming from him. He routinely uses this pattern : https://www.theguardian.com/profile/ramon-antonio-vargas

@[email protected], you're probably right. But the above articles were fairer, imo
