I think you've got it wrong on this one Todd. The Mob had murderous intent not the kid. He even rendered medical assistance to injured protesters. He's got a good lawyer - the one who represented Sandmann in his defamation lawsuits against CNN, WaPost, etc. If he had murderous intent he could have started mowing people down at any time. He showed restraint and then used his gun as self defense when being pursued/attacked.

I think GoFundMe jumped the gun on a policy violation in deeming it as raising funds for legal defense of a hate crime. Haven't seen anything to suggest the kid was racist or acting from racist motivations.

That said, I'd bitch the hell out of my kid if he ever thought about showing up to a protest with a gun.
