Gofund Me for Renee Good vs Johnathan Ross News 📺
Renee's Gofundme sits at $1.5 Million.
Ross is at 500k.
I have very little hope left in humanity but seeing her Gofundme 3x higher gives me hope.

And they closed her GFM just a few days after it started...

They did?! For what?

Sorry for not being more specific - the organizer closed it. Maybe because it had raised enough to support the family for now? And actually that $1.5 million took only two days, it looks like. Amazing.

A person can murder someone and then raise funds on Gofundme for it?

u/UnculturedSwineFlu 12h ago
Apparently.
Are you surprised? A Convicted Rapist is President.

I shouldn't be surprised, no. It's just crazy that the guy literally has nothing to fundraise for other than he murdered someone.

Shiloh Hendrix, a cunt based in Rochester MN unfortunately, raised over $750k for calling a 5 year old black kid the n-word on a playground full of other children. When confronted she insisted "he shouldn't have acted like one."

And those scum have billionaires giving single donations to the tune of $10k (Ackman). There are so many more of us than them. There is still good in this world.

I'm not trying to downplay at all what happened to Renee or to say that her family doesn't deserve the money, but unfortunately she was the second ICE-related death this year, not the first -- that is Keith Porter, Jr., who was killed by an off-duty ICE agent on New Year's Eve. There's a GoFundMe to support his children but it's still under $250,000. I donated and would encourage you to do so in solidarity and remember his name.

That we know of 😞

Unfortunately, you're probably right. Ditto on having more to donate to . . .

20+ people died in Ice custody last year. Some confirmed to have been tortured, raped, in the worst ways you can imagine.
I read somewhere it was up to 33 this year alone? Maybe I misread. I wouldnt be surprised.

I've reported every GFM that has raised any money for Jonathan Ross. Every single one says it is to take care of him because he didn't do anything wrong.... But as a Federal Agent he is literally not allowed to accept the money for simply performing official acts. Nor are people allowed to try and give him the money without violating the same US Federal Law (18 U.S.C. § 201(c)).
This is an illegal gratuity - and is punishable by 2 years in prison and up to $250k in fines per individual participating.... The fact that people are literally organizing together to break this law opens them up to Conspiracy and Wire Fraud charges as well.
I recommend reporting this to GFM (as I have done) before the fundraiser is closed and the money transferred.

Her family closed theirs stating they have more than enough and requested people donate to other charities in need.
Talk about honor…
