Is this a legit site? Seems weird.

From the site:
Directing portions of proceeds to Luigi’s GiveSendgo defense fund
our products are not officially endorsed by Luigi Mangione, his representatives, or any associated entities.
So no, it’s not official.
They have some photos of donation receipts but there’s no amount, I haven’t made the effort to see if the IDs on them can be publicly traced to that.
Nowhere on the website does it say what portion of proceeds are donated.

I agree. Probably just some schmuck trying to profit off of Luigi hype.

despite using a non-US based web server, and NOT google, my search for the site was altered during results loading, and even when the url was typed in, I was redirected twice…
What does that mean?

While I think Luigi is more on the right side of history than his victim, if someone is going to claim stealth censorship they better give the steps to replicate that, and plenty of pictures/evidence so it can be verified.
Anonymous (the activists) accounts were prone to this kind of performative denounce, claiming false things instead of straight asking for help or awareness.

Nah I’ve had this you type full address and it does a search instead that still leads to the link very annoying.

This Friday has him appear in New York for his case vs. the state. 100 Centre Street, Part 32, New York, NY 10013 @ 1415. I’m guessing it’s local time.

Why should we know that a snide site profiting off of the popular support of his criminal defense exists? Sure they probably donated once to his defense, but this seems like wolves among sheep.

Goddamn not everything has to become a hypercapitalist merch moment. Don’t fall for unofficial unaffiliated “promises” to donate “a portion”, just fucking donate directly and save yourself the trouble that the shirt or mug or whatever would give you after the second wash.

tbh even the crowdfunding site
givesendgo.com/legalfund-ceo-shooting-suspect
linked from the official info site
www.luigimangioneinfo.com/pages/contributions/
is fishy as hell, a fundie christian setup with a prayer wall page and funding campaign categories including ‘church,’ ‘evangelism,’ and ‘mission’
see also the citations in ref 15 of its wikipedia page - history of far right stuff
