A U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent, Jonathan Ross, has been at the center of a contentious debate after fatally shooting Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis last week. A GoFundMe campaign was set up to raise funds for Ross, who claimed he acted in self-defense, while another fundraiser aimed to support Good's family.

A Facebook page linked to the person behind the Ross GoFundMe, Clyde Emmons, featured a profile picture using an extremist meme - specifically, a Nazi salute symbol. The Anti-Defamation League described it as a hate symbol associated with white supremacy.

Donations poured in for both campaigns, with billionaire hedge fund manager Bill Ackman among them. Ackman donated $10,000 to Ross's GoFundMe and claimed he was motivated by a desire to support the officer after seeing media coverage of domestic terrorists taking advantage of fundraising campaigns.

The campaign supporting Good has garnered more than $1.5 million so far. However, the organizer behind the Ross fundraiser used language that linked protesters who opposed Trump policies as violent and deserving of punishment.

GoFundMe confirmed they are investigating both fundraisers.
 
I'm literally shaking my head over this whole thing 🤯. Like, I get that people on both sides want to show support for their loved ones, but the way it's all being handled is just... wow. The fact that donations started pouring in for Ross's GoFundMe despite his fundraising page using some pretty questionable language about protesters is just gross 😷. And then there's this whole other side with Good where people are donating millions to support her family - I'm not saying it's not a good thing, but can't we all just try to get along? 🤝 The GoFundMe needs to step in here and do something about these fundraisers ASAP before things get out of hand. This is just getting too much for me... 😩
 
I'm not gonna sit on this one. People need to chill out about Jonathan Ross's GoFundMe. Like, let's look at the facts - he said it was self-defense, and we don't know all the details. We're quick to judge people, but what if he really did think his life was in danger? 🤔 The guy's got a right to support him, no matter how unpopular that might seem. And yeah, there is this whole thing with the GoFundMe organizer and the hate symbol... but let's not jump on the bandwagon here. It's all just a bit too dramatic for my taste. 🙄
 
just saw this news and i'm literally shook 😱 how can something like this happen in our country? a gofundme campaign to raise funds for the officer but it's got some major red flags, like that facebook page with a nazi symbol 🤢 and the organizer saying stuff about protesters being violent... it's just not right. and the fact that billionaire bill ackman donated $10k to the ross fundraiser is wild 🤑 i mean, what's going through his head? the gofundme campaign for renee good's family has already raised over 1.5 million dollars though, that's amazing 💖 we need more campaigns like that one to promote love and support for our community. i hope gofundme gets a handle on this situation ASAP 🤞
 
I'm still trying to wrap my head around this whole thing 🤯. It's insane that someone like Bill Ackman is donating money to a GoFundMe set up by a guy who has some seriously sketchy online presence 🤔. I mean, come on, a Nazi salute symbol as a profile picture? That's not something you just casually use, it's a red flag 🔴.

And what really gets me is that Ackman is trying to spin this as him supporting the officer because of domestic terrorists taking advantage of fundraising campaigns... like, doesn't he think that's kind of what's wrong with our system? 🤷‍♂️ It's all about who has the most influence and who can get away with stuff.

I'm also super curious to see how this whole thing plays out. Is GoFundMe really going to let someone like Clyde Emmons run around, using hate symbols and inflammatory language without consequences? 🤑 The fact that donations have poured in for both sides is just crazy... it's like we're all just sitting here watching this trainwreck unfold 😱
 
OMG, this is such a mess 🤯! I'm literally shaking my head over here... A GoFundMe campaign set up for an ICE agent who fatally shot an unarmed woman is still getting donations, but the other one supporting her family has raised way more than $1.5 mil already 💸👀

And don't even get me started on Clyde Emmons' Facebook page with that Nazi salute symbol 🤢! I mean, what's next? Using hate symbols to raise funds for someone who thinks it's cool? It's just so wrong.

I'm all for supporting our law enforcement officers, but this is just ridiculous. We should be promoting unity and respect, not using hate symbols and divisive language 😒. And Bill Ackman donating $10k because of media coverage of domestic terrorists? Um, what? 🙄

GoFundMe needs to do some serious investigating here and remove the campaigns that are promoting hate or division 💔. We need to focus on supporting each other, not fueling the hate machine 🔥.
 
omg what is going on with these fundraisers?? 🤯 like i'm following this story and it's getting wilder by the minute... first, a guy gets shot and his killer gets a gofundme page and people start donating to him saying he acted in self defense... but then you find out the person who created the fundraiser is using language that's super divisive and some ppl are accusing him of being racist 🙅‍♂️. and now there's another fundraiser for the victim's family with like $1.5 million raised so far... it's just crazy to me how quickly people can go from grieving a loved one to supporting someone who might've killed them in an shootout 💀. what's up with all these conflicting emotions and narratives here? 🤔
 
Interesting 😐 the fact that donations are pouring in for both sides with such a high amount of money 🤑 Bill Ackman's $10k donation is wild lol, I wonder if he knows about the profile pic on Clyde Emmons' Facebook page 🤯 GoFundMe is definitely doing some digging to separate the good from the bad 🕵️‍♀️
 
OMG u gotta be kiddin me!!! a dude kills some chick in broad daylight and suddenly we're supposed 2 feel bad 4 him? like wut was he even thinkin? 🤯 meanwhile, the family of the girl gets more than $1.5 million raised 4 them - talk about systemic injustice. btw, I'm low-key livid that the guy who created the Ross GoFundMe used hate speech and had a Nazi symbol on his profile pic... what's next, are we gonna start fundin' neo-Nazis now? 🤔
 
🤔 This whole situation is just crazy. I don't know what's more disturbing - the fact that someone's life was lost or the way people are jumping into this fundraiser with no questions asked 🤑. I mean, come on, a Nazi salute symbol? That's not something you can just ignore and expect everyone to be okay with it 💁‍♂️.

And now we're seeing billionaires like Bill Ackman getting involved, claiming they want to support law enforcement but actually using it as an excuse to boost their own image 🤑. It's all so confusing and problematic. Can't we just focus on supporting the families affected by this tragedy instead of trying to politicize it? 🤷‍♂️

I'm all for people wanting to help, but let's make sure we're doing it in a way that doesn't perpetuate hate or division 🔥. Maybe GoFundMe should take a closer look at these fundraisers and figure out what's really going on behind the scenes 👀.
