Summary
Luigi Mangione, charged with the December 2024 murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, released his first public statement through a new website launched by his defense team.
He expressed gratitude for widespread support and acknowledged the letters he has received. The website provides case updates and a fundraiser, which has raised over $400,000.
Mangione has gained a following among those frustrated with the U.S. healthcare system. A poll found 41% of voters under 30 viewed the assassination as acceptable.
His next court date is Feb. 21.
Yes but a more direct comparison would be to voters under 30. Around 46% of 18-29 yr. olds supported Trump.
46% of those who voted.
Yes. And the original poll estimated that 41% of voters under 30 approved of Mangione’s actions. My point is statistics are more valuable and informative when you try your best to compare apples to apples.
“Voters” doesn’t mean “people who voted in the most recent election” but “people who are registered to vote” so the other commenter is correct.
Sorry but no? “Voters” means the same thing in both cases, that’s how statistics works. You take a small subset of people and try to control for as much as possible to make it an accurate representation of the greater population. Nobody actually knows what Voters in the abstract think if they don’t vote or answer polls
If “voters” means the same in both cases, why did you use numbers that specifically only apply to the last election to make a point?
