A Bunch Of Terrible People Have Raised Over $130,000 For Darren Wilson

Someone has started a Gofundme page for Darren Wilson, the police officer who shot and killed an unarmed 18-year-old named Mike Brown earlier this month. The fund exists to raise financial support for Wilson and his family to use during this "trying time in their lives." So far, nearly $140,000 has been raised, and a lot of it is coming from plainly awful people.

Those who donate to the fund are allowed to leave a comment on the page. Above is a collection of some of the thoughts that those who have donated wanted to share with the world. Everything about this is pretty fucking terrible.

...and of course, as ever, these pluperfect idiots use their real names.
