So I apologize if you read this and you have just eaten..you might puke in your mouth.
Some may or may not of known, but recently in Chicago a 9 yr. old boy was shot and killed in what appears to of been something meant for his father(a known gang member). Apparently the kid was lured to a specific spot in order to kill him to get back at the father.
They apparently got donations from people meant specifically for funeral expenses and the mother bought a new car with the money. Then the father also apparently puts up a gofundme for the funeral as well and I shit you not you can see the memorial t-shirts this mother*cker is selling of his kid.
This entire thing is sick. People like this ruin Go Fund Me for people who need it. Then to see the mothers video response to people calling her out on her shit..just amazes me. This is also why money given to Go Fund Me needs to either be spent on what it was intended for or returned.

The problem with helping people is that you have no way of knowing what they'll do with your help until it happens. They just as easily could have legitimately used the money for funeral costs.
It's like if you see a homeless guy on the street. If you give him a $5, you have no idea if he's gonna buy a burger so he can eat, or a bottle of liquor. It's a risk regardless, it's just sometimes it's a good thing, sometimes it isn't.
The donors were lied to, they thought their donations were going towards funeral expenses. You comparing that to feeding a drug addicts addiction is silly.
I'm not directly comparing it. I'm saying you have no idea what the people you help will do with that help until they get it. They had every reason to believe they'd use the money properly, the way they said they would. Until they didn't.
Oh, thought you meant me.

you were suggesting that giving money never helps.

In cases where you don't know, probably best not to be so quick in judging people as "idiots".
I have a very strong feeling that the words "I'm a gang member btw" or similar were not on the gofund page. Also, the mother's the one who bought the car with the funeral cash; she doesn't seem to be a gang member. The g-banger father was doing something else with another gofund.
Keep in mind the father has told police to "stop worrying about me and find out who did this" like this entire thing didn't happen because of him. It's one thing if the kid got killed accidentally, but this was "meant for him" in he sense it was meant as a message for the father and they specifically went after the kid and lured him out so what the hell did the father do?
Also seems like the right hand doesn't know what the left is doing. The mother says she didn't spend the money on a car and it was money she "just had". But then the father is apologizing for what she did with the money. But he was asking for money himself while saying that. Almost as if they both independently decided to take advantage of this. Though those tacky memorial t-shirts were a new low.
I heard on the radio yesterday that there were memorials for the child out somewhere including a candle and it got blown over and started a fire on someone's garage. Nobody was hurt, but it is a reminder as to how people need to be careful when they put up candles and stuff at these memorials. This isn't the first instance I've heard of a fire being started in similar ways.
