Brooklyn poet and activist Ryan Carson's friends launched a GoFundMe page after the former was fatally stabbed by Brian Dowling, 18, in an unprovoked attack on Monday, October 2.
The group, who dubbed themselves a "collective of Ryan's close friends" and "working class people," said that they launched the fundraiser to "take time off of work to properly mourn" the loss of the activist.
The GoFundMe page raised nearly $70K at the time of writing but left several social media users shocked as the "friends" attempted to raise money for themselves in order to take time off from work to "grieve."
As per the GoFundMe Page, Tammie Marie David organized the fundraiser on behalf of Carson's girlfriend Claudia Morales who was also present at the scene of the murder.
"Hi everyone. We are a collective of Ryan's close friends, reeling from a brutal loss," the fundraiser began.
"We are asking for your help on behalf of his partner in easing the burden and stress of this horrifying situation so that we can have space and time to grieve, and remember Ryan," it said.

I was good friends with George Floyd and I still have not had chance to grieve him. I think I’m going to set up a fund
What a bunch of pikers. Take time off? Why not retire?
“work”?...hmmm,okay
This kind of grifting, this kind of ill gotten gains, GoFundMe will allow.
I would like to know what the man was doing on the sidewalk at 3AM in NYC?
That website is so abused and nothing happens to people like this, but if it involves a Trump supporter, it’s banned.
Are these the same “Friends” who said that the killer should go free cause he’s the real victim here
Ryan Paid the Toll. His friends get the money.
A better example of LIBERALS can’t be found!
These are the same people - guaranteed - that if this case involved a Marine that put that punk in a chokehold killing him, they would be protesting and rioting.

My theory is the chick was banging the perp, and hatched the plan to bump off the boyfriend.
It’s NYC, he’s black, so he won’t be serving much time anyway.
So would I.
I think it’s just as it appears. A couple of leftist morons out in a dangerous city at a time when anyone with any sense would be indoors.
I wonder if the woman truly understands how close she came to being murdered? You never know with these people because they are so retarded in the critical reasoning area.
This does not surprise me in the least
I believe they were leaving a wedding reception.
A fool and his money…
Why didn’t I think of this? There has to be something we can come up with that will separate fools from theier money.......
I call Trayvyon!
Anyone want to contribute! /sarcasm off the scale
On a side note, that actually happened!
