An online fundraiser set up for an Indiana pizzeria that drew controversy after the owners said they would decline to cater a same-sex wedding concluded Friday evening, raising a grand total of $842,397.

All this turmoil over a hypothetical question from some lame ass reporter from a local tv station. I'm thinkin' the station needs to be sued. There was never an actual request from any glbt (gilberts) group about this, just the lame ass reporter. Then again, too few folks know, you NEVER talk to the press. EVER!

Anyone know if people who formally pledge an amount can later back out, if the fancy strikes them?

I’m afraid the O’Connors might not collect even half...

[Kozak]

Too bad. I tried to donate $20 bucks today and it was closed.

I'll talk to the press and I'll tell them that I think homosexuality is a primarily mental disorder or worse, a political disorder.

when questioned as to her FEELINGS on this matter the reporterette said: "er ..mmm...well I like..didnt know...ye know...

[Safetgiver]

Don’t care about the elocution skills, NOT GUILTY! Give the pizza place half and her the other half.

“Then again, too few folks know, you NEVER talk to the press. EVER!”

Absolutely right. There’s only two reasons the media will pay attention to someone - either to destroy that person, or to use them to destroy someone else.

The face of EVIL!

[Safetgiver]

Oh, poop. I thought the picture was of the counter clerk. Oh well, she ain’t guilty but should be restrained, anyways.

I'd bet they do.

[JustaCowgirl]

They charge your credit card at the time of the pledge. So it wouldn’t be easy to back it out.

I think that’s the “reporter” from Channel 57 who started all this by driving 20 miles afield to find someone, anyone who would comment in what was perceived to be a “hateful” manner. She should be mucking out stalls the rest of her miserable life.

Anything can be done; you can challenge any charge on your card, but the money would come from GoFundMe to pay back the charge. Gofundme has no rights to access a funded account.

[Cowgirl of Justice]

I hope this follows her everywhere for the rest of her life.

Maybe some day she will realize that what she did was wrong instead of basking in the publicity of destroying good people.

This reminds me of the joke about the boy who killed a dog.

In Texas, rabid dog attacks a group of boys, and one picks up a rock and kills the dog.
A reporter sees it and interviews the boy.
Reporter: “It’s a great thing you did son, I bet your dad will be proud of you!”
Boy: “I don’t have a dad, he died a few years ago.”
Reporter: “Well I bet all your friends are glad a Texas boy knew how to protect his friends!”
Boy: I’m not from Texas, I’m from Arkansas!”
Reporter breaks off interview.

Next day in the paper is this headline...LITTLE BASTARD FROM ARKANSAS KILLS BELOVED FAMILY PET!

Somehow this Pizza bruh-ha-ha has the same ring.

“PIZZA COMPANY WHO DOES NOT CATER WILL NOT CATER TO GAYS WEDDINGS!”

[SandRat]

Man-O-Man wouldn’t a $842,397 FREEPATHAN ending in such a short time, ever be a success...

[LS]

I haven’t done “GoFundMe,” but on Indiegogo, it’s all done by credit card and, no, you can’t back out. This is real money in real accounts.

[Moltke]

How much of that will the IRS take? (To fund more LGBT projects...?)
