A GoFundMe fundraiser for Jacob Blake—a 29-year-old Black man who was shot multiple times in the back by police officers in Kenosha, Wisconsin, on Sunday—has raised over $1 million since its Monday launch.
The page was posted one day after Blake’s encounter with police, asking originally for $250,000 to help pay for his medical bills and legal fees.
Quickly surpassing the initial goal, the page’s organizer, Julia Jackson, has continued upping the goal as donations continue pouring in.
Nearly 38,000 people have donated a total of $1,038,560, with a new goal of $2 million.
A cell phone video posted to social media showed a white police officer shooting Blake in the back after a physical altercation with multiple officers.
The shooting sparked widespread outrage and protests in the city, which ended in police deploying tear gas against a number of people who were starting fires and shooting fireworks at law enforcement.
On Tuesday, Blake’s father, who is also named Jacob Blake, told the Chicago Sun-Times his son has “eight holes” in his body and is now paralyzed from the waist down (it’s currently unclear whether the paralysis is permanent).

The Lies. They can’t do anything without the Lies.

I remember GoFundMe would cancel fundraisers for criminal defense in the past. Was this guy in the middle of a crime when he got shot?
This GFM (we could call it something else) stuff is absolutely absurd.
It’s like the Nigerian scam but it actually suckers people in! Talk about “looting”!

Good, he can pay his own damn lawyer instead of leeching off the public.
LOL. Money NOT going to the Bidn campaign.
I thought GoFundMe doesn’t allow people who commit crimes to raise money.
Correct me but didn’t they have a fundraiser for someone who really needed it and GoFundMe or whoever stopped it...but they didn’t stop this for a thug.......
