The post is by a journalist and there's more in the thread.

This comment shows the guy who started the fund is a racist.

This appears to be the man in Michigan who created the fundraiser. I've asked him how people can be sure he will be giving the money to Ross's family.

No like "fundraiser for poor maligned HERO Johnathan Ross" but all the money goes from hogs' pockets to my drug fund

This is exactly why I've been wanting us to start a c/grifting com for us to collaborate on shit like this

Whay should some dumb racist cracker get a million dollars for calling a kid the N word or killing someone or whatever? We should be getting as much of that money as we can

Set up a complicated shell network to stymie any investigations and comrade, you got yourself a grift going on

I'm afraid we can expect more Rittenhouses and Rosses, so don't stop practicing your gofundme-launching kata, and proactively calling the actual supporters' gofundmes frauds before they're even up

welp lets see if GoFundMe follows their own rules:

But GoFundMe's unoffical rules are:

Kiss GOP ass. And - for the love of god - do not make Trump mad.

The guy who started the fundraiser has an interesting facebook profile...including the point of "Blazing Saddles" going directly over his head.
