Did they allow Rittenhouse to use GoFundMe?
Surely, Luigi is innocent until proven guilty too.
Just checked on that because I was curious. Looks like they only allowed fundraising for Rittenhouse once he had been acquitted.

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.
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.
When you’re only targeting poor people, they let you do it. You can kill anyone.
No, they didn't. This is the part where you realize cheering on control of one side will come back to bite your side eventually. Now the only path he'll have are those conservative-based fundraiser sites. Funny how that works out
Eh? I never cheered anything on. If anything I would want all sides to be treated equally. Either you’re allowed to open a fund me for criminal defence or you’re not.
I don’t choose what I support based on my political leaning and I think anybody that does is a dishonest person.
Edit: I was merely asking a question as I recall funds being raised for Rittenhouse, I just didn’t recall which site.
One side? Luigi is a right winger, likely, or at least a libertarian.
Don't care, we have the same class interests.
We are all working class.
Have you read the details on his family? He is very much not. But anyone willing to stand with the working class is welcome.
That was misinformation meant to turn us against him.
