There are how many millions of unregistered guns in America?
That murdering pig will eventually eat and choke on his own karma.
There's a reason why the rest of the world sneers at 'Murica
his wife is a filipino from phillipines, married green card method.
I fucking hate goons.
Trash. Don't even give that Trumpgoon a name. Renee Good was murdered by scum.
He has a name, he has a face, he has a bank account, he has a home address, and he has the right to a jury of his peers.
He is a fascist, an invader, and a murderer. Knowing his name can help in seeking justice.
oh and the person representing him in future cases in court is the same one that dropped out of the michigan governership for the next election.

Civil lawsuits can take earnings that result when profiting from a wrongful death ... like this guy is doing.
Justice is restored!
It's just that, has it been convicted of any crime?
No. Im not sure there will be a crime charged ... the system is too corrupt. There could be a civil suit.
A civil suit to recover profits from a crime the state does not recognize. From when the nazi storm trooper murdered a lady on camera.
You get why people make fun of liberals, right?
A crime is not needed for a civil suit. A person can be found not guilty of a murder and still lose a civil suit for wrongful death.
Hope he dies soon
From a financial perspective it's not really a secret -- big money is backing the far-right and conservative media and political sphere. Systems like GoFundMe and others are ripe targets for grifting of course, but they're also ripe for manipulating public opinion. Do you have an agenda and lots of money? You can easily afford bot services and then split your pile of money up among dozens, hundreds, thousands or more different accounts to give the impression that a cause like this is more popular than it is. Or you can use your social media influence to manipulate people into donating on your behalf. And of course the bonus is that it emboldens and encourages those who actually do believe this shit to speak up and participate, amplifying the message even more.
And aside from all that, there's just a subset of people who are out of touch but who truly believe that danger is imminent and lurking around every corner. They're getting fear based messaging from social media, Fox News, and elsewhere that's got them literally thinking that illegal immigrants are hiding in the bushes ready to murder them the moment they step out of their car. I know people whose world view is so skewed towards fear that they genuinely think it's dangerous to go into the city of 40K population for a doctor's appointment. They think people are getting murdered left and right on every street corner every minute of every day. And no amount of reassurance from a more sane and measured perspective seems to change that.
dont feel safe passing through a town of 40k population
I cant think of any population from 40k that id feel safe around.
think people are getting raped and murdered on every street corner every minute of every day
I think they assume everyone else has the same job they do.
Seventeen thousand donors...out of eight billion people.
Remember the real numbers here.
That's a misleading-denominator fallacy. 8 billion isn't the relevant pool. Most of those people don't live in the US, don't follow this story, don't use GoFundMe, and have no stake in US immigration enforcement.
By your logic, the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge (17 million donors) represented only 0.2% of humanity, so ALS awareness was a nothingburger. Obviously not true.
Donating is a costly and strong signal. For every person who pays, many more quietly agree. 17,000 paying donors typically implies hundreds of thousands of sympathizers, which is a meaningful bloc in a country of 160 million voters.
You might have meant something narrower, like 'loud online fundraising can overstate real support.' That's a fair point worth making. The 8 billion framing isn't.
17 thousand is still a lot.... brb setting up a second guillotine
If it makes a difference, I just looked at the Renee Good GoFundMe, and it closed at $1,500,000.
If it makes a difference
It doesn't, she's fucking dead.
Yeah, fair point.
