TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (WIAT) – A GoFundMe that had been set up to help with the legal fees of a Tuscaloosa man who destroyed a caricature of President Donald Trump over the weekend has apparently been flagged.....

Currently, GoFundMe has a clause that does not allow any campaign it deems to be “for the legal defense of alleged crimes associated with hate, violence, harassment, bullying, discrimination, terrorism, or intolerance of any kind relating to race, ethnicity, national origin, religious affiliation, sexual orientation, sex, gender or gender identity, serious disabilities or diseases, or financial crimes or crimes of deception,” according to its terms of service.

Hutchinson is currently charged with first-degree criminal mischief, which is a Class C felony.

“I got charged, but that’s alright,” Hutchinson said in a video published on his Facebook page after he was released from jail Saturday. “I’d do it again if given the opportunity.”

21. Usually these cases plead out to a lesser charge & he wont have a felony.

And he'll probably have to pay for the baby trump

7. Felony!

Good. Will that affect his ability to purchase or own a firearm? Will he be able to vote? Will he make it to the no-fly-list?

[cwydro]

20. Probably get knocked down to a misdemeanor.

But, we can hope.

[NurseJackie]

24. Yeah, I fear that as well. But his "pre-meditated" admission in his live video...

Yeah, I fear that as well. But his "pre-meditated" admission in his live video... is very damning. He'd have a difficult time saying it was a spur-of-the-moment decision made in the heat of the moment. He went there with the full intention of causing harm.

8. "I'd do it again"

Well, that should help out the sentencing phase nicely.

[PJMcK]

12. My thought, as well (n/t)

[bluecollar2]

15. As Ron White would say..

"You can't fix stupid...stupid is forever!"

9. Good. Looks like Gofundme has higher standards than Facebook.

[crickets]

16. Agreed -- not that it's that difficult to have higher standards than Facebook.

[oldsoftie]

19. HA!

[madinmaryland]

10. LOCK HIM UP! RIGHT FUCKING NOW!

[bdamomma]

11. Ha you bastard

trying to steal money from others (who are stupid also) due to your stupidity.

[SKKY]

13. His campaign is still alive folks. I just went to his GoFundMe page....

...and it absolutely would have let me donate if I wanted. In fact, I watched about $200 in multiple donations roll in.

[OliverQ]

14. According to this he's still getting the funds.

In a statement to AL.com, however, GoFundMe confirmed the campaign is active.

“The campaign is active and Mr. Hutchinson is permitted to withdraw the funds," the fundraising website said.

The funds are being held by the payment processor until banking information is added, GoFundMe said.

[WillParkinson]

17. So much for their rules...

Big shock.

[dustyscamp]

22. Gofundme sucks

[oldsoftie]

18. He'll have to pay restitution; plead to a lesser charge, no felony, etc.

Thats how these thing almost always work out.
And he'll be a star on Facebook

[MissKat]

23. Because our side kills babies

This looney tick thinks that our side actually kills babies after they're born.

Where do we start? Trump told them this so, I'm like sputter...sputter....

How can the idiots brain be unwashed? Or does it even matter?

Seriously. Between this and the report about Q Anon...how can so many be so looney? Looney ticks...just sucking up the crazy.

[catbyte]

25. Awww...

26. Ha ha ha ha ha!

29. confusing because it appears he stabbed "Trump"

But he stabbed the mocking of trump.

Still, how did we get here from such a decent and honorable POTUS like Obama?

[tblue37]

30. It cost $4000 to bring the balloon to Tuscaloosa:

https://www.al.com/news/2019/11/fundraiser-to-bring-baby-trump-balloon-to-tuscaloosa-tops-goal.html

However, it cost £18,000 to create the original balloon, so destroying it should cost plenty in restitution, though I don't know if the damaged one was anywhere near as big of as expense vs as the original:

Campaigners raised almost £18,000 to pay for the inflatable, which they said reflects Mr Trump's character as an "angry baby with a fragile ego and tiny hands".

31. ALABAMA NEWS IS NOT REPORTING THIS

They are not reporting the part about go funding criminal activity. They are treating him like a hero. The people in this state are crazy conservative and loyal to the party to a fault. To show you just how stupid these people are, trump does not respect Alabamians, he hates jeff sessions. Trump got Alabamians to turn against sessions, a life-long conservative who has done much for alabama (they voted for him). Now this dumazz hutchinson wanted to set up a go fund me page for his bond. He wanted to send any excess to the trump campaign---STUPID GUY---when you consider the hundreds of charities the money could have been sent to instead of sending to trump who already has over $150 million in his campaign coffers. Dumb.

32. You know, looking at the deflated Trump balloon still looks exactly like I picture

that bloated POS when he is lying in bed.
