GoFundMe Pulls Page For #Baltimore Cops, But They Leave Up Page Raising Money For Looters

Go Fund Me pulled the page that the Baltimore Fraternal Order of Police had put up to support the officers charged in the death of Freddie Gray. The reasoning was because they had been charged with crimes, which violated the Go Fund Me rules.

It allegedly violated this provision:

“Campaigns in defense of formal charges or claims of heinous crimes, violent, hateful, sexual or discriminatory acts”

So then why is this page still up? It is set up specifically to support charged looters, three people in particular, including one who was charged for busting up a police car, Allen Bullock (see pictures). It frankly could also violate other provisions in the Go Fund me rules, including gang or organized violence.

The page has raised $8,449 at the time of this writing.

I wonder how hard it would be to establish a similar funding site, but based offshore. Bahamas, or Dubai, or something. Maybe more than one location.

there are a zillion conservaties in this country. Get out the word to tell gofundme to go@#@#$themselves. I will email now.
People had fundraisers before gofu##me. Im sure another company will cater to conservatives.

How hard to set up an alternative?

[QT3.14]

Michael Savage is thinking about starting a fund. He has done similar in the past.

[PLOM...NOT!]

GoFundMe has changed its name to GOF***yourself?

[dila813]

Good one, reported

[Aria]

Yes, I recall when I used to listen to him that he had funds...I think I even donated to one. But if you don’t listen to him then you don’t know about it.

But someone needs a gofundme for traditional/conservatives that is a real business. Obviously we don’t have that yet since GFM has shown their bias.

[DLfromthedesert]

Someone like Dana Loesch would be perfect to accomplish this.

[samtheman]

He’s got the name-recognition to ramp it up quickly.

I remember his very strong defence of some U.S. soldiers or marines who were being railroaded by our commie JAGs.

That does it E...My plans to send Gofundme $5,000 per month are now cancelled.

[napscoordinator]

It’s down. I don’t know what you are talking about. Both are gone.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

It’s been taken down since this was posted.

GoFundMe may have received a lot of flak for blocking the fundraising for the Baltimore officers but not for the thugs.
I used to keep my business and politics separate. Not any more. Even in professional business, well, if the customer wants GE, OK, but GE knows I will do my best to steer the customer to Square D or Allen Bradley.
