The owners are trying to stop us from being able to.

GoFundMe, a for profit organization, took down an attempt to raise money for him.

He allegedly killed a low level owner, after all! Not some poorie livestock!

Raise all the money for poories you like though. Use GoFundMe, a percentage of your charitable transaction will go to their glorious private shareholders!

(don’t use GoFundMe anymore)

Honestly as much as I dislike crypto, this is the one time where it could actually come in clutch. Big corporates can’t stop people from wiring bitcoin to an address.

I’ve always said crypto isn’t completely useless, it should just be what it was always meant to be and no more:

A currency to buy drugs anonymously on the darknet.

Could have just stopped at OG bitcoin for that. All the rest is idiocy. It’s good for that niche, and nothing else.

True, but how would you organise that? There are plenty of scummy crypo-bros who would be more than willing to use this to line their wallet.

Counterpoint: how would you ensure each go fund me actually goes to this guy’s defense and not some random scammer? Apparently his family is wealthy. I’m assuming all those go fund me pages are “unofficial” and not associated with him.

Doesn’t look like him. Super convenient that the gun can’t be traced so we just have to trust the cops that it really was his, and that he was just out walking around with the gun and a manifesto, just days after, when anyone would be lying low?? Not buying it.

There is a world where this guy is mentally ill - schizophrenia for example - and this is yet another example of the mentally ill falling through the gaping cracks in the US health care system.

To not dispose of the weapon or the fake ID, and continue wearing the same clothes suggests irrational behaviour.

Unfortunately the US legal system only seemingly regards mental ill health as a defense if you’re very rich and lawyered up.

News is saying his family is very wealthy. They own country clubs, health care facilities and real estate companies. And his cousin is a state delegate in Maryland. He also graduated from Ivy League college.

A barrel is a barrel, and I think it highly unlikely that a mass-produced product leaving a unique fingerprint on something that’s been smushed into a completely different shape can be used as forensic evidence. Unless you know of it being scientifically proven, it is the domain of TV CSI.

Glocks are the Toyota Corolla of handguns. They are the preferred weapon of police departments and federal agencies the world over.

They, and many modern firearms, use a rotary hammer forged barrel with polygonal rifling that does not leave unique markings like traditional cut rifling.

Also, forensic ballistics are mostly bunk, like forensic bite marks.

I’m kinda sick & tired of this story already, because it’s become a media spectacle that takes our eye off the ball: US private health insurance, US healthcare in general, and capitalism.

On the other hand, it reminds everybody how much they hate the US health insurance system. And I mean everybody.

He just wanted to slip his brain dead agenda on the communist theory every where it doesn’t belong.

If there’s an upside it’s that it focuses people’s attention on the class struggle we’re all part of, whether we want to be or not. Some people will be realizing this for the first time; others will be experiencing a feeling of working class solidarity for the first time; and for others it will be a focal point in conversations that can raise people’s consciousness of what’s going on.

No, it doesn’t, but it’s been something that has brought people from across the political spectrum together. Even Ben Shapiro’s fans called him out on trying to drum this up as a “radical Left bad” issue.
