Supporters of a man who knifed and deflated a diaper-clad Baby Trump balloon so the president would not see it during his visit to watch a University of Alabama football game have raised almost $40,000 to pay his legal fees.
A GoFundMe page created Saturday asks for donations to help Hoyt Deau Hutchinson, 32, pay legal fees and restitutions for the balloon had raised $39,641 as of Monday afternoon. The goal for fundraiser was initially set at $6,000.
Hutchinson allegedly cut an 8-foot-long gash into the back of the giant inflatable, which depicted a bright orange Trump donning a diaper and clutching a cell phone.
He was arrested and charged with felony first-degree criminal mischief after fleeing the crime scene in his hometown of Tuscaloosa, where a group of protesters had inflated the balloon for a demonstration at Monnish Park.

If everything were equal the cops would have halled in ever one of the offenders who did some damage.
Unless they’re told to stand down.....that frosts me more than anything.....;(
So the question is, does it cost more than $2500 to fix an 8-foot gash in a balloon?
I just saw where this balloon was. It wasn’t near the stadium. It wasn’t on a route I would guess would be driven by a presidential motorcade, but I’ve no idea if they drove this way or not. I didn’t watch the pregame coverage to see if anyone covered Air Force One landing and that sort of thing. The folks who had the balloon must not have had permission to bring that thing on campus. It might have angered a few more people if it had been on campus. It might have started a riot.
Crowd sourcing at its best!

Spot on. Judging from some of these posts, I assume that real Americans (Conservatives) should just sit down, shut up and take our beatings with a polite smile.
That Milquetoast garbage is what got the country to this point. I believe in the Alinsky method: Make the left live up to their own rules.
I like that idea.
I love this man. I love what he did. I will donate to his gofundme.
Thanks for posting this.
Agree.
70% of Americans believe CW2 is coming...pretty sure that was the number.
Anyway count me in.
I read there were a large number of colonists who supported the Brits. Thank God for those who did not and fought to found our country.
Some things are worth taking a stand on. Hillary and others who broke serious laws are still enjoying their lives. Do we really have a lawful country still today?
Only for some.
I wished the left cared this much about real babies.
