GoFundMe Cancels Funding for Alleged Kenosha Shooter: Report
28th August 2020
The teenager who was charged with shooting rioters while defending stores in Kenosha has reportedly been shafted from gathering donations on GoFundMe, but other organizations have stepped up.
“A legal team says it will defend Kyle Rittenhouse, charged in the fatal shooting during protests in Kenosha this week, and has set up a fund for the 17-year-old’s legal fees,” the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported August 27. Rittenhouse described “himself as part of a militia protecting businesses” amidst the riots over the shooting of Kenosha resident Jacob Blake.
