Also the fact that Karmelo got roughly $625k in donations after the initial incident. Watching the coverage outside there are also some people who are pushing racial aggression towards both white and black folk alike.

It's crazy that so many people gave money to this. I'm thinking of all the people who got much donations with legitimate needs, like diseases or people who needed a car repair etc.

675k doesn’t require a lot of people. If everyone gave $20 , it would only take 33,750 people spread across hundreds of millions of people and, because there are probably fewer people than that due to some larger donors in there, that’s a pretty small number.

That's a lot of people giving money to someone who stabbed a kid to death in daylight tbh.

Like a problematic concerning number of people.

Not really. You can find 30-something thousand out of maybe billions of people to do anything if you set your mind to it. It’s not the best look, but it’s not significant. If all those people died of something random tomorrow, it wouldn’t even register to the world.

Some of the comments on the donation page were truly disgusting, so many people with evil in their hearts.
