Donating to his defense fund is the right way to go about it. Good lawyers are the best defense against bad prosecutors.
Why even bother with Gofundme? You know they were always going to shut it down. What other sites are available?

Bless the Gunslinger Club!
Looks like they got overwhelmed at about $14, 000. Seems they are doing what they can. $14,000 is a great start but not anywhere near what it is likely going to take.
Let's hope, maybe some other group has the means and wherewithal to step up and get more money through. I have some dough burning a hole in my pocket.
Oh, and by the way, FUCK GoFundMe!

Directly sending cash to his parents would be best. Cash in the mail is perfectly legal.
We just need the address.
Or someone in Kenosha should open a PO box for them.

I was just thinking that myself. Cash or good old money orders.
There must be a way to find a safe mail drop for the family.

So many traitorous companies running defense for the commies these days. These swine have no place in a decent and free society.

Kyle Rittenhouse is from Antioch, IL, at the northern border of Illinois.
Hi mother's name seems to be Wendy Lewis.
Let's see if we can find his parents or a relative online and ask them where people can send money to for his legal defense.

"Lin Wood, the famed attorney who successfully represented Covington Catholic's Nick Sandmann in multiple lawsuits against the media, graciously and heroically offered to help Kyle Rittenhouse for free on Thursday morning after GoFundMe suspended his legal defense fund. "

OK, Lin Wood will get paid in fame. No problem with that.
It's a good deal for both Kyle and for Lin.

Lin Wood would NOT be handling the criminal case. He'd take a cut from the libel lawsuits.

It looks like Kyle is is going to get some good help.
The fund site is up and running.

I chipped in.
"A legal team from the #FightBack Foundation said it will be part of Rittenhouse’s defense team. #FightBack Foundation Inc. was incorporated in Texas effective Aug. 12, according to the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts.
The #FightBack Foundation will take donations for Rittenhouse’s legal defense. A website for the foundation will be online in the next day or so, he said.
Wood said that John Pierce will lead the defense team. The lawyers said the #FightBack Foundation is the only approved fund for Rittenhouse’s legal fees."

GoFundMe has shut down three or more attempts to set up a legal defense fund for Kyle Rittenhouse, who has been charged with first-degree murder after shooting three people in Kenosha, Wisconsin, after each effort received large sums of donations quickly from a supportive public.
Many people online, who have seen the video footage of Kyle firing three shots at advancing members of a violent mob who tried to kick him in the head, brain him with a skateboard and point a pistol at him, feel the chance is that Kyle is innocent by way of self-defense and would like to contribute to a legal defense fund.

So many videos have circulated online showing leftist aggression towards defenders that this latest video fits the well-established pattern. It is also part of the pattern we see with innocent people like Mark and Patricia McCloskey who have been charged with felonies for holding guns to defend their property from the violent mobs being backed by Democrat-controlled cities, courts, and police departments.
And there is the case of Steven Ray Baca, who was charged for shooting a rioter in New Mexico near the monument for conquistador Don Juan de Oñate, and the charges were later dropped because it was shown to be self-defense on videos.
In fact, we have watched liberal District Attorneys and the media get it wrong again and again on the high profile cases of Trayvon Martin, the Duke Lacrosse Team, Mike Brown, Covington High School, etc.
The Americans who want to donate to help Kyle Rittenhouse afford top notch legal representation and get a fair trial have every right to organize and contribute, and GoFundMe needs to explain why that is not being allowed when funds are allowed for felons, criminals, and fugitives.
GoFundMe has no problem with people raising more than 1.5 million dollars on the platform for the medical bills and family of Jacob Blake who was shot in the back by Kenosha police as he resisted police arresting him for sexual assault charges and entered his car where he may have had a gun.
Is this yet another example of left-wing bias by Silicon Valley companies censoring and abusing those who oppose their political agendas? Should Kyle Rittenhouse be added to the growing list of Americans whose civil rights are being violated by big tech?
