I’m pretty skeptical of GoFundMes for stuff like this bc so many people use it as an opportunity for grifting. I was hoping for an established bail fund like the one we have here in Colorado (Colorado Freedom Fund.) GFM will usually remove bail fundraisers 😕
Yeah, I’m skeptical too. I haven’t seen anything that screams legit, unfortunately. I know Georgia went after a couple with RICO charges for trying to stop a Cop City, so I don’t know what kind of effect that’s having overall.
Definitely having a chilling effect on bail funds which was obviously the whole intention. And Florida seems like the type of state that would crack down on it.
Unfortunately, Polk County is one of the shittier places in the state to get arrested as well. Iirc, as with this judge, the cops in that area are usually the ones doing the press conferences that make the news for the most inciteful rhetoric.
Anyone thinking about donating money to Luigi’s legal fund should probably send it to this woman instead
Came here to say this. Is there a local bail fund?
I tried to find one and nothing so far but I’d bet something pops up tomorrow
Apparently they’ve been taking down the gofundme pages. There’s 2 now, but they’re both by people out of state.

FYI she’s out on bond today according to Hasan, so folks should hold off on any donations until we confirm legitimacy.
Awesome! Thanks for the heads up!
