“We are raising funds to support a critical legal defense in the fight against unchecked corporate power and a system that continues to favor the few over everyone else. This case isn’t just about one individual—it’s about challenging a status quo that protects the interest of the powerful at the expense of justice and fairness,” read one of the fundraising pages that was quickly removed by GoFundMe.
Just checked on that because I was curious. Looks like they only allowed fundraising for Rittenhouse once he had been acquitted.

Rittenhouse is still a murderer, you can’t change my mind.
Pro-tip: It’s not self-defense if you started the fight.
My take is that he is innocent according to the laws of the USA, which I don’t live in. Morally, yes it was a bit odd to attend a riot with a hunting rifle, but again - not American.
Thanks. Looks like there are more right wing places people can donate. Who would have thought I would be willing to use such a site.
