The mother of one of the accused Kansas City Super Bowl parade shooters set up a GoFundMe for him, saying he needed help through a “tragic time.”
Teneal Burnside created the online fundraiser for her son Lyndell Mays, 23, showing him lying in a hospital bed recovering from nine bullet wounds from the shootout he allegedly confessed to starting.
“He is in the ICU fighting for a recovery from several surgeries from going to the Chiefs’ Super Bowl celebration with his older sister,” the now-deleted fundraiser said.
“Getting shot multiple times at a time that was [meant] to bring so much joy to so many has [brought] pain and sadness to all that was attending,” it said.
The fundraiser had reportedly raised $100 for Mays’ medical bills before he was charged Tuesday with second-degree murder, two counts of armed criminal action and unlawful use of a weapon. *** “Mays confirmed that he drew his gun first … and started shooting, all because they said, ‘I’m going to get you,’ and to him, that meant, ‘I’m going to kill you,’” according to court documents obtained by The Post.
“Mays stated the other individuals started shooting only after [he] shot first.”
When investigators asked why he “advanced with them to begin with,” the alleged gunman replied, “Stupid, man. Just pulled a gun out and started shooting. I shouldn’t have done that. Just being stupid,” the docs stated. *** After Mays flashed his weapon, several others “almost immediately” brandished their weapons, including Miller, whose gun fired the bullet that killed 43-year-old mom of two Lisa Lopez-Galvan, prosecutors said.
Twenty-two others were injured in the shooting.
Both Mays and Miller are being held on a $1 million bond. ***

GoFundMe will keep this pledge up, but will take down appeals by conservatives.
GFY
I just refreshed a page, GoFundMe for Trump. The thread got pulled as a ‘solicitation’. Why is this not the same thing? Why is this thread still open?
The FREAKING NERVE!! THUG FAMILY!
I’ll gladly contribute to a Go Fund Me for a professional hit man to go into the hospital, put a pillow over this thug’s head and send him off to hell where he belongs.
Arrest he parents for conspiracy to commit murder.
If I dug deep enough into my stockpile, I could reload a 9mm round for about $0.45. And if the gangbangers were lined up properly, that’s all it would take. I think I could part with that much if it was a donation in kind.
My Kimber 1911 .45cal ACP “Eclipse Target II” loves 230gr HPs, and I’d “donate” as many as it takes to a line-up of THUGS.
Hopefully you enjoy that one as much as I do my Ultra Carry II.
His hospital bill with be paid with tax dollars at the minute he was arrested.
Damn, I can’t find my debit card.
They would raise more money by offering to sell to the highest bidder, the right to pull the plug on him.
I have a 22lb spring and (red) Crimson Trace Laser Rosewood grips installed, and I enjoy shooting it, since 2009. Congrats on yours, too!
Yep.
Pondering if a sarcastic $.01 donation is possible but they don’t deserve even a penny with poo on it.
Didn’t GFM forbid any fundraising for the J6 political prisoners?
And this thug went to the superbowl with his sister. From what I saw the minimum price of a ticket was in the $5000 range. So this guy had $10000 spare cash to afford tickets? I bet his kids are on food stamps too.
It has since been taken down. Good.
