My mom was pushing this fundraiser on FB. I estranged her over it. Blocked her completely. Sometimes I feel bad about it, but then I remember this fundraiser and how she called the videos of the incident "propaganda."

So hypothetically how "in trouble" could one get for setting up a go fund me like this and never giving the guy the money? I could use a few bucks even though I'm not internet famous, and I mean I know scamming is bad but this seems like decent target selection...

It depends on the terms of the service - you would want to check carefully to see what your actual funding requirements are, however most sites are extremely lenient and scams are rampant. Delaying until people simply forget is a common and effective strategy. However again, given the highly political nature of events like this, you would run a high risk of a lawsuit and may be investigated for wire fraud if you are not careful about your terms.

Just make your whole life centered around being conservative and you'll just be pardoned

We don't claim David Londner. He can go fuck himself with $30 worth of jagged scrap metal.

This seems made by a fan or something, is it possible that its a rug pull?

[–] Saprophyte@lemmy.world 4 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

It was a fan, the updates say that GoFundMe was in touch with the murderer, then about it being canceled and then about being in touch with the murderer again.

Makes sense, large amounts of money and evil deeds generally go hand in hand.

I guarantee nothing good will be done with that money

As someone who's vaguely a fan of British television this momentarily confused me greatly;

But it's just more Americans doing generic American activities.
