Best we can do is make him a millionaire.
Ugh, fucking bummer
I'm generally not supportive of the death penalty but when the evidence is this clear and the murderer is a LEO, given the power of life and death over the rest of us, then he needs to be executed, just like he executed Renee Good.
I prefer effective purgatory. It's a drain, but I'd like knowing he's rotting in a cell forever with no contact outside of a therapist and no possibility of parole. Then he can have a nice long think about his actions, and how he is now simply a drain on society. Let him sit with that, forever.
One side of the death penalty is that innocent people can (and have) been executed. As another poster pointed out, the other side is that people who are initially jailed for life can later be released much earlier than they should be by governments who don't view things like Ross did as a big deal.

He needs to be put under the prison.
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."
You should have composted her😔
It's so sad what propaganda can do to people. I didn't want to believe Adorno when I read it some time back, thought it was too negative, but now...
Sorry your mom got lost into this screwed mindset... I just stull can't fathom how it happens to people...

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
Thanks for a real answer! I'm half kidding about considering it lol.

that sounds tempting
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.

IIRC, her family closed it after getting in way more money than they ever imagined and suggested that folks donate to other impacted families.
Yep, $1,500,000 out of 50k.
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.

Domestic terrorist = dropping kids off at school.
his wife is a filipino from phillipines, married green card method.
Civil lawsuits can take earnings that result when profiting from a wrongful death ... like this guy is doing.

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.

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

Makes sense, large amounts of money and evil deeds generally go hand in hand.
I guarantee nothing good will be done with that money
There are how many millions of unregistered guns in America?

Is this actually real?
Reported for libelous content. Renee was not a domestic terrorist as stated in the description.

Thank you. The writing was so juvenile and 2nd grade that I honestly wasn't sure.
Bummer that we can't trust that the next government will actually prosecute these people.

Hope he blows it all. He deserves to rot in prison.
What's to stop leftists from starting gofundmes for bootlocking facists and then keeping the money?
