Why Darren Wilson's Fundraising Pages Mysteriously Shut Down This Weekend

[loyalsister]

After raising more than $400,000 for Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson, supporters halted donations on a GoFundMe page Saturday to strategize how to use that money without violating tax rules for non-profits.
Representative Jeff Roorda tells Daily RFT he's trying to determine whether Shield of Hope, the organization managing the donations, is legally allowed to spend the funds on Wilson's legal defense since it is a registered 501c3 nonprofit. Most donors expected their money to pay for lawyers, legal fees and other expenses related to Wilson's prosecution, Roorda says.
"If we find money was donated to the Shield of Home GoFundMe and it can't be used for the express purpose it was intended for, we will return it," says Roorda, one of the officials listed on the nonprofit's state records, along with Ferguson Police Officer Timothy Zoll and Florissant councilman Joseph Eagan.

Roorda is unfortunately, a Democrat who announced his plans to run for senate in Hannibal (early home of Mark Twain). What a sad state of affairs!

It turns out that in this case we need conservative Democrats who are not racially biased enough to support Wilson.

1. I'm still confused by Wilsons' need for money

1) He's on paid administrative leave
2) He's being represented currently by the police union

So, why does he need a legal defense fund unless these folks think he's going to be indicted and the police union won't stand behind him?

2. #3 - a big IF

IF he was 'beaten' (I don't believe it) then he should also be on some type of worker's comp plan.

He doesn't need this money.

3. I agree

There is a paranoid element who think all white people are prosecuted in such cases. And, they may believe he needs an OJ style stellar defense because he's a persecuted white man and there may be some blacks on the jury.

5. its a way for racists to show their strength.

6. How cynical of you!

I agree.

7. Yep, a way to pay Wilson for a "job well done."

On one of the sites, there were comments by donors. Some vile racist stuff.

4. Notice how the Gun-Nuttery crowd

started this crap after Zimmerman. It's a White Privilege thingee. Got relatives who cut checks to these people all the time. It's all about the masked racism in this country and the fake use of the Second Amendment to protect them form the Brown skin people and you know well that is the bottom line. If Holter was active in smacking a few of these out outrageous cases,this crap would come to a halt big time.
