Like Thompson’s salary, bonuses, stock dividends, and life insurance payout isn’t enough … :/

So they allow a fucking millionaire beg for money on there. But we cant support the hero who took the fucker out?

What makes you think this fundraiser was started by anyone having anything to do with Thompson or his family? When events like this happen, scammers come out of the woodwork and make fake fundraisers and then pocket the money. Happened during Black Lives Matter, too.

Has it been taken down immediately though?

You’re right, anyone coule have started it but I don’t believe that’s his point. I think he’s talking about the fact that the fundraiser for a billionaire is allowed by the website while the one for the guy who allegedly took him out is not.

Ps: I’m not arguing for or against anything, just clarifying a detail about the comment you seem to have misunderstood.

To be fair, we don’t yet know with certainty who took him out.

I’ve been afraid to say precisely this.

I could see rich people wanting to bag and tag anyone as quickly as possible to deter further comeuppance.

Right?! They don’t need a GoFundMe when just his salary is 3-5 times as much in a single year as I’ll make in my lifetime. And he’s been making that for years.

It’d be awesome if we could donate negative amounts.

Literally my first thought.

His family doesn’t need or deserve support. This guy has life insurance. Maybe he didn’t have prior authorization to die, but I’m sure they’re posting it anyway and they will be supported in the way he intended.

Why should anyone give them money? They definitely got more than we do. They should be organizing a donation drive right now to give away the excess instead of taking any.

it’s less about deciding who does or doesn’t get money and more about sending a message to the billionaire class.

“If one of the proles shoots you, a billionaire CEO; the rest of the proles will chip in to try and help them get away with it”

you can come from a rich family and be class conscious

I misread and thought it was before his death when the news was that he’s denied healthcare

His family is going to take over all the lawsuits from Brian Thompson’s insider trading. Think of his poor family.

Imagine if the FTC had done their job and put Brian in jail. He could have been alive today.

So let me get this right. The site has been removing pages that are raising money for Luigi’s legal expenses, but keep the page up raising money for the man that has killed innocent people including children? I’m sure his wife has enough money to pay for his funeral…
