A Christian crowdfunding website and Kenosha shooting suspect Kyle Rittenhouse's lawyers say they've raised nearly $1 million for Kyle Rittenhouse's legal defense fund.

A fundraiser on the Christian fundraising platform GiveSendGo says it has raised more than $390,000 for Rittenhouse, while one of the teen's attorneys, Lin Wood, said on Twitter Monday night that more than 11,000 people had donated a total of $605,550 to the #FightBack Foundation, which was launched to bring "lawsuits to stop the lies and smears of the radical left," and provide money for Rittenhouse's defense, according to its website.

Rittenhouse is accused of killing two people and injuring a third during a Black Lives Matter protest in Kenosha, Wisconsin, following the August 23 police shooting of Jacob Blake. The 17-year-old from Antioch, Illinois, faces multiple charges, including first-degree intentional homicide.

Last week, John Pierce said that he would defend Rittenhouse alongside local attorneys, in an announcement that coincided with the launching of #FightBack with Wood.

What would Jesus carry?

[Blue Owl]

1. Fuck that guy

n/t

[Evolve Dammit]

2. "Christians" For Murder. Jesus would be so proud.

[Karadeniz]

3. Lots of misguided people...but we have a disproportionate amount!

[Sneederbunk]

4. Sounds like a Bannon-type scam.

[yankee87]

19. Thinking the same

Not that I care because the entire rethuglican party is full of con men and women. The low level suckers are being played like the ones who gave to PTL.

[truthisfreedom]

5. Good. Let them waste their money on that delusional nutjob. It's not going to save his sorry ass.

He's gonna pick up the soap.

[OAITW r.2.0]

8. Unless these are a half dozen big contributors, the folks contributing.....

(1) are donating irrationally, to validate their incoherent beliefs
(2) are willing to part with their limited disposal income to make a statement....and less likely to donate to the Party,

They will quickly go broke sending their money to lost causes...now and in the future.

[livetohike]

6. That will buy a lot of cigarettes in prison. n/t

[jmowreader]

13. Postage stamps are the new currency in prisons

All prisons have gone smoke-free, so cigarettes would be worthless as currency. Prisoners use A LOT of postage stamps, so they've become jail money.

[no_hypocrisy]

7. That amount of money should be enough to bribe a few jurors.

[Traildogbob]

9. Sounds about "right"

Any Christians raise a dime for the guy with his arm blown off? Or funerals for the two dead? About as God like as ISIS or Taliban. Any so called GOOD. Christians speaking up. Did not think so. They are out partying with GOOD cops. Planning Shiria Law with GOP operatives and mega church crooks.

[Drome]

10. Christians?

Sadly unsurprising!

[Mr.Bill]

11. That's a million dollars that won't

get sent to the Trump campaign.

[moreland01]

12. Good grief

Millionaires go to jail all the time. Murder is murder. Although I can't help but think about George Zimmerman and Trayvon Martin.

[groundloop]

27. Yes, but sadly murderers with money usually fare better than others.

[jmowreader]

14. "Lies and smears of the radical left"?

Dear Hard Right:
Your new hero, Kyle Rittenhouse, killed two people in cold blood and shot a third. He did this with a gun that, as a minor, he was not entitled to have.

Thank you for proving who is the law and order party. Hint: It ain't you.

[The Wielding Truth]

15. ditto !

[Skid Rogue]

16. WWJD?

I have a lot more compassion for a screwed up 17-year-old, growing up in Trumpland, than I do for the adults who just gave a million dollars to side with his fucked up beliefs.

[StClone]

17. He'll need more than that, a lot more, maybe a prayer for his soul

Self-defense? Isn't that the argument the people he murdered? And pretty sure Civil cases follow.

[llmart]

18. Dear pseudo Christians...

I believe there's a commandment that goes something like "Thou shalt not kill."

These aren't Christians at all.

[SergeStorms]

33. "Now Jesus don't like killin', no matter what the reason's for."..

and your flag decal won't get you, into heaven anymore". Damn, I miss John Prine.

[mahina]

20. Well then the families of the deceased will have some assets

After they sue his ass. And his Mother.

[3catwoman3]

21. This is particularly...

...repulsive.

[Ferrets are Cool]

22. Good. It's money that wont be spent on electing OrangeAnus

Instead, it will probably buy a new yacht.

[2naSalit]

23. Legal fees and

hopefully restitution.

[mjvpi]

24. Good. Now there can be a civil case as well against him as well.

[Miguelito Loveless]

25. Pontius Pilate and Judas Iscariot

are just kicking themselves for not having GoFundMe and these Christians back in the day.

[keithbvadu2]

26. GOP Christians

[Initech]

28. Fuck that murderous piece of shit.

Hope he gets a one way ticket to Supermax.

[TeamPooka]

29. The lawyers will enjoy that cash.

[eppur_se_muova]

30. WWJW ?

Who would Jesus waste ?

[Joinfortmill]

31. When Joe is elected

This punk will be tried as a terrorist. All the $ in the world won't help him.

[bhikkhu]

32. MLRA - Making Lawyers Rich Again?

Seems to be about the only likely purpose that money is going to serve. Nice to know the RW has plenty to spare.

[LiberalLovinLug]

34. The New American Christian

[malthaussen]

35. Bet they couldn't raise ten cents to, say, feed the homeless. n/t

[Fresh_Start]

36. The victims family should be suing him so that the children get the money

instead of Rittenhouse.

[Bengus81]

37. Bannon in on the SCAM??

[Bengus81]

38. Bet his lawyer LOVES that. His fee just hit a million for probably a few months....

Then tell that PUKE he better raise even more.
