Title: Fund Raising in Ferguson
Post by: HankB on August 28, 2014, 03:36:39 PM
The Michael Brown Memorial Fund has raised ~$280,000 from more than 9300 people, in order to help his family with funeral, burial, and living expenses.

On the other hand, two sites organized for the benefit of Officer Darren Wilson (who shot & killed Brown) have collected over $410,000 for the benefit of him and his family. (potential legal fees, relocation, and living expenses.)

Hey hey, another excuse to riot & loot!

Well, we still don't have all the facts and a verdict, but I guarantee that if Wilson is not guilty of any wrongdoing, he will still have to move for his and his family's safety, so if "not guilty" turns out to be the case (or a railroaded gulity), I'm glad to see there were charitable donations to cover the relocation.

4chan's /pol/ board spearheaded quite a bit of the funds for the officer. For better or for worse. They turned it into a bit of a *expletive deleted*it show, and the butthurt over it is strong.

He's in for a royal buggering for sure. The rioters want his head (literally), Holder wants his head, and the (in)Justice Department wants his head.
