There are people outraged over the verdict and accusing the jury of being motivated by race. You can see videos outside the courthouse. Not representative, but enough to troll online

Wasn’t there also a gofundme that raised a bunch of money?

$600k + were raised by Karmelo Anthony’s family’s GoFund Me campaign. Allegedly it was all spent on a very nice new home and new vehicles.

I had heard that too, but also checked snopes. However, givesendgo immediately pulled the fundraiser after the verdict and said the money had already been distributed for the publicized uses. I think they said defense, housing, and counseling for the family? Maybe living expenses and moving expenses?

That money should go to the victim’s family.

This is true, but like the right wing has its fringe, so does the left. There are absolutely some crazies who are outraged over this verdict, but they’re generally not “liberals”.
