NEVER, EVER trust a company that doesn’t have direct contact information available on their website. Last I looked GoFundMe didn’t have an email address or phone numbers for contact.

Kyle’s going to be getting some money from the Big Guy. Hunter better sell some more paintings.

Let's Go Brandon and Go Fund Me!

I'll see Go Fund Me completely destroyed and their staff hiding in Cuba.

Perfect use case for crypto...direct private person-to-person payments w/o extra 3rd party fees. To keep it private get a fresh crypto wallet (via VPN if really paranoid)...do not reuse a wallet address and do not use traditional “KYC” exchanges like Coinbase. (IOW do not tie your crypto addresses to any personal information).

American Civil Liberties Union

All criminal defendants are constitutionally entitled to effective representation of counsel. Unfortunately, lack of resources, time, and skills often renders many capital counsel ineffective, denying numerous capital defendants that fundamental right and often resulting in a sentence of death.

Here's what the ACLU believes. Apparently Gofundme doesn't.

GoFundMe shut down a page that was raising money to support parents fighting the Loudon County, Virginia CRT curriculum.

Sounds like a violent terrorist group to me (according to the FBI). /s

If I were to send him money, I’d contact his lawyer (easy to look that up) and mail a check made out to Rittenhouse to his office.

They are unaware that in the USA a person is innocent until proven guilty?

They went to the same high school as the media.

I wonder if Kyle will now face civil lawsuits from the families of the dead people. He may still need GoFundMe or some other kind of fundraiser.

Is Zac Stacy innocent of beating his girlfriend?

Rittenhouse will make lots of money in the upcoming defamation cases. Richard’s said he will also be going after the money Lin Wood supposedly raised for Rittenhouse, but kept it for his 501(3)(c) non profit. It was a significant amount of money. Lin Wood is going to lose that litigation based on fraud. He risks getting disbarred because he effectively stole money from Rittenhouse. There is nothing that will get an attorney disbarred than stealing client funds.

Richard has no love lost for Lin Wood; neither does Rittenhouse. Lin Wood should have never angled to be Rittenhouse’s attorney because he doesn’t do criminal defense. Had he just given the money to Rittenhouse, he would have set himself up to represent Rittenhouse in the defamation cases. Lin Wood screwed himself.

When Richard’s was asked if he’d be representing Rittenhouse in defamation cases, he clearly and unhesitant in saying he WOULD NOT because he is a criminal defense lawyer; not a civil lawyer

No attorney is going to take that case. The criminal history of the guys Kyle shot were not admissible. They would be in a civil trial.
