“We are raising funds to support a critical legal defense in the fight against unchecked corporate power and a system that continues to favor the few over everyone else. This case isn’t just about one individual—it’s about challenging a status quo that protects the interest of the powerful at the expense of justice and fairness,” read one of the fundraising pages that was quickly removed by GoFundMe.

    Did they allow Rittenhouse to use GoFundMe?

    Surely, Luigi is innocent until proven guilty too.

        Rittenhouse is still a murderer, you can’t change my mind.

        Pro-tip: It’s not self-defense if you started the fight.

          My take is that he is innocent according to the laws of the USA, which I don’t live in. Morally, yes it was a bit odd to attend a riot with a hunting rifle, but again - not American.

        Thanks. Looks like there are more right wing places people can donate. Who would have thought I would be willing to use such a site.

      No, they didn’t. This is the part where you realize cheering on control of one side will come back to bite your side eventually. Now the only path he’ll have are those conservative-based fundraiser sites. Funny how that works out

        Eh? I never cheered anything on. If anything I would want all sides to be treated equally. Either you’re allowed to open a fund me for criminal defence or you’re not.

        I don’t choose what I support based on my political leaning and I think anybody that does is a dishonest person.

        Edit: I was merely asking a question as I recall funds being raised for Rittenhouse, I just didn’t recall which site.
