Crowdfunding passions in Dostoevsky style

Indiegogo crowdfunding service allowed to place on its site a fundraising campaign for Michael Slager, a policeman accused of deliberately killing an unarmed person.

Western journalists write Indiegogo abreast with GoFundMe . GoFundMe is associated with various semi-vandal fundraising campaigns, such as a pizzeria that collected $ 842,000 after declaring same-sex weddings or a florist collecting $ 150,000 for refusing to serve such customers. (We in Russia will leave the emotional coloration of these proposals overboard. We have another polites.) Darren Wilson also collected money here.

Despite this, GoFundMe refused to place a campaign in the interests of Michael Slager, and Indiegogo allowed it to be placed. At the moment, the campaign has raised $ 136.

Most users are against a similar campaign and the number of negative comments is growing pretty quickly.

Post a campaign complements:

I see a lot of negative feedback about the fundraising campaign, but remember, Officer Michael Slager deserves competent protection, regardless of the widespread opinion about his actions. This is still America.

Indiegogo allows anyone, anywhere to get funding for their ideas and we, like other open platforms of Facebook, YouTube and Twitter - are not going to condemn the content of campaigns as long as they meet our conditions of use.
