They are cleaning up! Go fund me gets 25% I believe. Plus family will have to pay gift taxes. His mama moved so fast, as if she has Benjiman Crump on speed dial.

How come mama didn’t do out and pick up her children? Instead, she sends her 16 year old son out driving to pick up her twins at 10PM at night!!!!

I await more details on all this.

Does that include donations to FR? Just wondering how far you thought this through.

I am trying to understand how he teenager was at the wrong address. Had he never been there before even though he was picking up his twin brothers?

From the article ... Ralph was picking up his younger siblings at a home on N.E. 115th Terrace when he mistakenly went to a house on N.E. 115th Street

Agreed, if the story is accurate. I also wonder how many burglaries and robberies the old man has endured.

If you are afraid, you don’t actually have to open your door. Yell, “Go away.” Or, “I’m armed. Go away.”

Prayers for the wounded boy.

An innocent kid was shot in the face. The responses on this thread are shameful.

A couple of years ago, in the daylight a guy came by looking for his lost dog. I hadn't seen it and he kept looking at other houses. That evening the dog showed up at my house. I took him in, got in the car and went looking for the dog's house. I knew the number but wasn't familiar with the neighborhood.

Before I had even gotten to the first possibility, I realized the wandering around to strange houses after dark was a good way to get shot. I turned around and kept the dog overnight, returning him in the morning.

And, this was in a good neighborhood. In a marginal one like this happened in, even a kid should know that going to strange houses after dark is very dangerous.

I didn’t know FreeRepublic used crowd funding. I thought each individual sent them money directly instead of some crowdfunding site that gets to decide if the money goes to who you want it to go.

Crowdfunding is a method of raising funds for a business or project by collecting relatively small amounts of money from a large number of contributors using an online platform. FR may not use a third party for collecting but by definition it is crowdfunded. Besides, I thought conservatives were for less taxes and freedom to do what ever they wanted to do with their own money.

I just think those sites are a ripoff. They charge a commission and decide who they want to support. Your right. I dont loke taxes. I just really despise people skimming off the top.
