Kyle Rittenhouse defense fund brings in more than $320k on Christian site after GoFundMe ban
Washington Times ^ | September 1, 2020 | Andrew Blake

A fundraiser for Mr. Rittenhouse hosted on the Christian crowdfunding site GiveSendGo had received more than 7,500 donations totaling over $320,000 of its $200,000 goal as of Tuesday afternoon.

Online fundraisers were made for the teen’s legal defense shortly after he was identified as the suspect, but they quickly vanished from fundraising platforms including GoFundMe.

GoFundMe said campaigns for Mr. Rittenhouse violated its terms of service but did not explain further. A campaign on rival service Fundly disappeared without explanation as well.

I’m not very knowledgeable about legal defense expenses so maybe (likely) this is a stupid question. Why does he need money for his defense when he already has a high profile lawyer working his case for free? It’s not like he needs expert testimony. It’s all on video.

GFM also disallowed fund raising for the Christian bakery in Oregon.

Conservatives and second Amendment supporter have no rights.

I guess their lawyers have no rights either, since twitter just banned his attorney.

I saw that coming. Twitter will be ruing that decision. Lin doesn’t back down or take prisoners!

Yep, his partner on the case just said that twitter made a massive mistake by censoring the top defamation lawyer in the United States.

This capable and patriotic young man has millions of leftist anarchists and their “domestic enemy” public servant supporters baying for his blood. They want him punished for resisting, because he is white, and as an attack on the Second Amendment. They hope to use him as an object lesson to gun owners: “don’t resist us or we’ll imprison you.”

He represents us all. I’m sure he’ll have major expenses. I donated and I encourage every American who values freedom to do so.

Although the site might be Christian-operated, I would imagine that some of the beneficiaries of their fundraising aren't necessarily Christian.

The Rittenhouse shooting is the DemonRat's fault, 100%, for CONDITIONING their BLM and ANTIFA troops into believing THEY COULD HUNT DOWN A KID WITH A RIFLE WITHOUT FEAR OF CONSEQUENCE...

WRONG! Rittenhouse did what no other MAN had the courage to do in Kenosha.. HE WOKE THE WOKE!

He will have massive expenses. His family will need to disappear also. They are not safe from the BLM mob.

Thanks for that link.

Jack Dorsey has banned L Lin Wood from twitter for defending Kyle Rittenhouse. Also have heard that Fakebook is deleting all posts that say anything positive about him and banning the posters.

The leftists are pressing an all out war against anyone and anything that stands for America.

>>Is there a way we can hurt GoFundMe?

Well, since they allowed raising funds to bail out rioters, the gov could charge GoFundMe with financing terrorism...

Probably just wishful thinking though.. our side never uses our political power.

And every single idiot on twitter calling Kyle a white supremacist and slandering him can count on getting sued after the charges are dropped.

It sounds like you don't think it was self defense?

Good start, but his defense will cost into the millions. $10,000,000 is not an unrealistic amount.

I hate to dash their hopes but that's not the lesson I'm taking from their violence and hatred.

I had a GoFMe on FB for my little dog’s emergency surgery and they deleted it after a few days. I reposted it but no idea how long it’ll stay this time.
My FB is full of conservative stuff and I think that may have been their motive.

I should’ve set up a sex change operation fund for her instead.
That dog woulda been rich.

True, I’ve also seen those tweets deleted as soon as they are reminded about his attorney.
