Christian Crowdfunding Site Raising Money For Kenosha Killer Kyle Rittenhouse


Domestic Terrorism For Jesus: The Christian crowdfunding site GiveSendGo is hosting a fundraising drive for alleged domestic terrorist Kyle Rittenhouse after legitimate crowdfunding sites like GoFundMe refused to do so.

GiveSendGo, which self-identifies as the “fastest growing Christian Crowdfunding site made by Christians for Christians,” has already raised over a $100,000 for the Kenosha killer Kyle Rittenhouse, the domestic terrorist charged with murder after killing two BLM protesters and wounding another.

The “Fundraising Story” for Rittenhouse reads:

Kyle Rittenhouse just defended himself from a brutal attack by multiple members of the far-leftist group ANTIFA – the experience was undoubtedly a brutal one, as he was forced to take two lives to defend his own.

Now, Kyle is being unfairly charged with murder 1, by a DA who seems determined only to capitalize on the political angle of the situation. The situation was clearly self-defense, and Kyle and his family will undoubtedly need money to pay for the legal fees.

Let’s give back to someone who bravely tried to defend his community.


The comments on the site are even more obnoxious. For example:

May it be remembered in the annals of history that the first shots were fired by this young patriot as he was defending himself, and by extension our country, against a terrorist mob that the rest of the country up until this moment would not consider using fire power against. This young man’s freedom will be secured before this war is over, if we have to burn the justice system that holds him to the ground.


Previously supporters of Rittenhouse tried to use the respected and trusted site GoFundMe to raise funds for the terrorist, but GoFundMe immediately removed any such effort.

The lawyers will put up a defense but literally swallow all that money and funnel it into their pockets.

Lawyers fees haven't even started to add up yet. That fascist turd is going to cost those morons a ton of money.

This 'Christian' group is going to look like complete fascists if they don't denounce their earlier efforts.

I bet it's CHOCK FULL of 'I wanna kill N-Words' with his little friends.

What am I saying, they're already shamelessly lying with this bullshit about how it was 'his community' ... he doesn't even live in Kenosha let alone the neighborhood where this happened. Hell, he doesn't even live in Wisconsin.

He drove to another state and was too young to carry that weapon, legally.

The skate board was self defense, not the AR-15.

They hypocrisy astounds.

Let's not forget that the majority of Christian voters cast their ballots for Trump in 2016.

This fucking "Antifa" bullshit again. They're bound and determined to create a dues paying organization called "Antifa" even though none exists. That little deranged piece of shit wasn't brutally attacked by anyone, although he should have been.

"Christian" crowdfunding site my ass. If this is what so-called "christians" stand for now it's time to start taxing the ever loving shit out of them. Break up these goddamned "militias" and tax the goddamned churches. It's time to clean up this country, and that starts with the gun nuts and god botherers.

I just paid $5 to remind you all that God's commandment is, "Thou shalt no kill" And to remind you that there is no addendum to that. And this Matthew 7: (21 "Not everyone who says to me 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven.....(22) (23) Then I will tell them plainly, "I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!"

I tried to give less but they wouldn't let me.
