Online fund-raising sites are turning their backs on activists looking to offer financial support for James Fields, the man accused of driving his car into counter-protesters at a white-nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia on Saturday.

GoFundMe, Kickstarter and other mainstream crowdfunding firms have policies that prohibit hate speech or abuse, the latest example of technology firms making it harder for far-right groups to organize online.

sick fucks trying to crowd fund for a murderer. Good for the crowd funding sites banning that shit.
 
I'm not suprised neonazi fucks thought they could get away with rewarding this shit bag. No one can say that the unite the right people don't support nazis and violence. They're literally trying to reward their hitman.

Shove that free speech up your ass, Nazi scum.

Private entities aren't obligated to dance to your tune. Get fucked.
