They took down the gofundme. He’s got a bit of an online footprint that’s being actively picked over. Apparently, he got picked up in Pennsylvania, for “being weird”, presumably from staying awake most of the last week. . So far he has not said anything. Whatever manifesto they got him with has not made the rounds, and frankly I’m not overly enthused about getting ahold of it, but yeah., If I have an excess of time and money in the coming seasons . We’ll be hearing from him and helping Mr. Mangione out.
Like I said, extensive online footprint that is being picked over as we speak. I saw a LinkedIn profile that has since been deleted, but of course it was screenshot. People disappear in a lot of the important ways when they go to prison, but we’ll do what we can.
If anything it sounded like he wanted to be a game dev and gave up on it (probably because it actually kind of sucks as a cog in a AAA company) and that sounds like a ton of people I know.
The serious back injury would explain the hard turn his life made.
Also, if you really want to hate the insurance companies, it’s easy: get surgery in America. I thought his rage was from a friend who wasnt rich enough for cancer treatments; here it’s a bad skiing accident and the years of bill negotiation that pushed him over the edge.
But that could be me in the same situation. I have a back injury that is never going to improve, but its progress is slowed by proper care and lots of help. A bad turn if I was American and even my good tech job wouldn’t be enough. At-will state and I’m laid-off like that, no job means no coverage, no coverage means I sell my everything for anything. Ich bin copaybacker.
