      He has a name, he has a face, he has a bank account, he has a home address, and he has the right to a jury of his peers.

      He is a fascist, an invader, and a murderer. Knowing his name can help in seeking justice.

          I think fascist bigots deserve to be named and for the community to know who they are. Especially if they committed murder.

          Yes they are trash, but let’s not give them anonymity.

    Civil lawsuits can take earnings that result when profiting from a wrongful death … like this guy is doing.

    Seventeen thousand donors…out of eight billion people.

    Remember the real numbers here.

    From a financial perspective it’s not really a secret – big money is backing the far-right and conservative media and political sphere. Systems like GoFundMe and others are ripe targets for grifting of course, but they’re also ripe for manipulating public opinion. Do you have an agenda and lots of money? You can easily afford bot services and then split your pile of money up among dozens, hundreds, thousands or more different accounts to give the impression that a cause like this is more popular than it is. Or you can use your social media influence to manipulate people into donating on your behalf. And of course the bonus is that it emboldens and encourages those who actually do believe this shit to speak up and participate, amplifying the message even more.

    And aside from all that, there’s just a subset of people who are out of touch but who truly believe that danger is imminent and lurking around every corner. They’re getting fear based messaging from social media, Fox News, and elsewhere that’s got them literally thinking that illegal immigrants are hiding in the bushes ready to murder them the moment they step out of their car. I know people whose world view is so skewed towards fear that they genuinely think it’s dangerous to go into the city of 40K population for a doctor’s appointment. They think people are getting murdered left and right on every street corner every minute of every day. And no amount of reassurance from a more sane and measured perspective seems to change that.

      I’m generally not supportive of the death penalty but when the evidence is this clear and the murderer is a LEO, given the power of life and death over the rest of us, then he needs to be executed, just like he executed Renee Good.

        I prefer effective purgatory. It’s a drain, but I’d like knowing he’s rotting in a cell forever with no contact outside of a therapist and no possibility of parole. Then he can have a nice long think about his actions, and how he is now simply a drain on society. Let him sit with that, forever.

    So hypothetically how “in trouble” could one get for setting up a go fund me like this and never giving the guy the money? I could use a few bucks even though I’m not internet famous, and I mean I know scamming is bad but this seems like decent target selection…

      It depends on the terms of the service - you would want to check carefully to see what your actual funding requirements are, however most sites are extremely lenient and scams are rampant. Delaying until people simply forget is a common and effective strategy. However again, given the highly political nature of events like this, you would run a high risk of a lawsuit and may be investigated for wire fraud if you are not careful about your terms.

    We don’t claim David Londner. He can go fuck himself with $30 worth of jagged scrap metal.

    My mom was pushing this fundraiser on FB. I estranged her over it. Blocked her completely. Sometimes I feel bad about it, but then I remember this fundraiser and how she called the videos of the incident “propaganda.”

    Makes sense, large amounts of money and evil deeds generally go hand in hand.

    I guarantee nothing good will be done with that money
