Yep.

It is also interesting comparing the average $ amount donated between the two campaigns.

I consider it money well spent for the family as well as a casting a vote to support the legal process.
The only good thing about the Boushie fund is that it will probably be back into economy in short order.

It'd be nice to see the Boushie fund go in to a scholarship or some memorial for Colten. Paying it forward would be the right thing to do.

I am sure some of it will be used to fix the broken sewer pipe, window, and frozen water lines in Mrs B's trailer. Got to keep our priorities straight.

After you donate and when you receive your email confirming your donation, just click on the manage my donations tab, and select to make the donation private.

You are now legitimately anonymous to the outside world.

Being a butt wipe, and using somebody else’s name, especially somebody who is against this cause, makes us all look like mindless, mouth breathing, half wit’s.

Let the haters hate. Let them spew their poison. Those people end up getting what’s owed to them through their own karma. Don’t play into their games.

Keep it classy, and just like cream you will soon rise to the top.

Great job to all who donated!

Just wondering, is there a reason we aren’t mentioning what the $200,000 is in regards to or giving a link to the site? I’m sure there are more than a few people wondering what this thread is about...

Money implies solid support, way more than a solicited signature on some meaningless petition.

Only 3245 donors, those numbers wouldn't affect the outcome of an election.

International petition to take down the GoFundMe page.
13,645 people who don’t believe in the rule of law.
I hope they don’t get there way.

https://actions.sumofus.org/a/gofund...-donations-now

Should take down the petition for spreading falsehoods.

That this group of drunken thieves will be making a pile of money from thei incident turns my stomach. Below is a slightly modified entry that I had posted on CGN about this.

In certain US States there is a charge called 'felony murder' in which co-conspirators to crimes that result in a death can be charged in relation to the death(s) regardless of if it was a victim, co-conspirator or law enforcement officer who died during the commission of their crime, even if they were not the killer. If this case happened in any of those US States the others who were with Boushie could have been charged in relation to his death. It all stemmed from their cumulative actions after all.

What state is GuFundMe based in? Do they have to follow the laws of that State? Would it be possible to get this payday for the drunk driving armed thieves nullified on that premise?

https://www.themarshallproject.org/2...-killed-anyone

Hmm, GoFundMe is headquartered in San Diego and California does have felony murder on their books. This wiki link is noteworthy as it includes a list of the offences under which felony murder would apply, notably carjacking, robbery, burglary, mayhem, etc. This approach might actually have legs to it??

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felo...le_(California)

I just ran across that also. Shameful!!

What an unbelievable and one sided account. Even called the shooting a murder.
