The fundraiser for the ICE agent in the Renee Good killing has stayed online in seeming breach of GoFundMe’s own terms of service, prompting questions about selective enforcement.

      How did you report it? It looks like there is only an option to report for fraud if you want your donation back. Unless I’m missing something?

      Tbf, I gave to Luigi the day he got arrested. Id give money to anyone who killed this ice agent. So, it kinda does go both ways. Even if it is kinda gross.

        This agent hasn’t been arrested and it currently doesn’t seem like he ever will be, though

          There is no statute of limitations on murder. If he lives longer than than the MAGA government exists, he’ll see a courtroom.

          MAGA criminals should be like Nazis, and have to look over their shoulders for the rest of their lives. If they are finally caught in their 90s, they’ll still live out the remainder of their lives in a cell. No forgiveness, no mercy.

            I definitely agree that’s what should happen, but until anything like that does happen I think this GoFundMe is fraudulent. As it stands they’re raising money for a court case that isn’t going to happen.

        I don’t want people killed. But some sort of extremely uncomfortable daily reminder of the life he took unnecessarily would be good for him.

          I don’t want people killed.

          I do

          I want lots of them killed

          I may be a little bitch that won’t ever actually kill anyone, but I can at least say many, many people should die, yesterday if possible.

            Pain, suffering and then eventual regret that makes the pain and suffering more painful.

              Unlikely to ever result in regret. The large majority of people are too self-centered, and will therefore twist things in their minds every which way they can to blame anybody but themselves. Especially the types we’re talking about here.

            I so get it. But that makes everything worse, because then it’s just outrage vs outrage and that’s exactly how russia wants it.

              It’s gonna be outrage vs outrage for a while, then it will be everyone against Putin, not against Russia.

        At this point, I’m surprised there’s not some Bitcoin bounty on his head.

      The is a story here in Germany, that a few years ago leftists would send the fascist AfD usage-restricted donations of 1 cent, causing around 20 cent of fees and administrative work.
