    I was able to finally find an article explaining why the funds couldn’t be used, unlike the op article.

    One major issue appears to be how the fundraiser was originally described. Critics have pointed out that early campaign messaging focused on supporting Eatherly and his family rather than explicitly stating that funds would be used for legal defence or bail.

    This dude is cooked.

    He’s got a long record, his crime was egregious, and white supremacists are abandoning him. Nick Fuentes came startlingly close to defending black people by saying that “Chud’s” behavior was responsible for the violence.

    Don’t be fooled though. Chud’s sin with white supremacists is making them look bad.

      He’ll join the White Aryan Brotherhood or some other violent, racist prison gang and get worse. US citizens have a fetish for violence and retribution and seem shocked when they get that on the streets. When we demand rehabilitation and re-education, it may take a generation, but it will become better.

        I wonder why Derek Chauvin doesn’t have a gang of protectors. He became a colander in prison. 😂

        Maybe I’m optimistic, but I don’t see the WAB accepting this douchebag. He clearly just wants to get a rise out of people, he doesn’t care about his white pride.

    I’m not siding with this guy, but he had bail set and if the money can’t be used to pay bail then he is being denied bail. Just don’t let him post bail at all.

    This is like, oh you’ll never get a million bucks, oh wait I mean a million of the right kind of money.

      1. They reduced it from 1.25m to 1m

      2. He’s only raised 0.25m

      3. The issue is this “fundraiser” existed prior to the shooting and is not for legal defenses. It’s blatantly and explicitly so he can go around and do the shit that lead to him shooting someone else and himself.

      Like, you’re “not siding with the guy” but are just wholesale making shit up to defend him…

      Quick edit:

      Because some people may need the math spelled out:

      $1,250,000 reduced to 1,000,000 means the 250,000 he can’t use for bail, he just gets to keep it.

      He can’t use it for bail but bail was already adjusted like it was.

      And he can still (presumably) use it for legal fees.

      Just what are you so upset about that you had to leap to an out an blantant racists defense?

          It’s either money or it’s being denied bail.

          It can’t be both and justifying the breach of law when it applies to people you don’t agree with; it’s funny how quick liberals are to abandon their principles when its liberalism dysfunctioning on someone they don’t like.

              None that I’m aware of. Reread my comment and don’t assume you are under attack. The judge is wrong here and givesomefucks is being inconsistent with their idealogical position.

                SOREY!!! It’s Lemmy, everyone’s gonna shank you.

                Reread, and yes. You’re right. This criminal is a bad bad man, but if bail is set, it’s set.

                I just don’t understand why the judge didn’t deny him bail. He’s a violent offender, and it really would not take much to justify that decision. I’m sure there is plenty of precedence of denying bail for far lesser crimes.

                  Here are the facts: Tennessee explicitly authorizes courts to conduct bond source hearings to prevent defendants from using the proceeds of illegal activity to secure their release. These hearings are required by state law for any bond set at $75,000 or higher — Eatherly’s $1 million bond clears that threshold by a significant margin, making this procedure entirely standard and not specific to his case. The burden lies completely on the party seeking to post the bond. Whoever is paying must prove that the money is derived from legitimate sources rather than illegal activities. Defense attorneys generally have to present bank statements, pay stubs, tax returns, or other financial records to satisfy the judge. If the judge is not satisfied with the legitimacy of the funds, the defendant will not be allowed to post bond and will remain in custody, regardless of whether they have the physical cash on hand.

            Bro, I was a dick to you because YOU were an ass to me FIRST. You began our interaction in “bad faith” by accusing me of supporting them, when I very clearly outlined the problem was the bail system and judicial abuse.

            ALSO, you can’t explain anything because you just make assumptions and criticize people for things they never did.

            The BAIL SYSTEM is a system to keep poor people in jail. You’d know this if you’d GIVE SOME FUCKS. Hilarious. You’re a joke.

              If you’re planning on keeping your four day old account, you’re gonna want to stop burning bridges so fast. There’s not many people here who take time to explain shit.

              Best of luck tho

                I don’t plan to keep it. You’re not a bridge. It doesn’t need explanation: you’re wrong, and you’re gaslighting.

        It is quite hilarious that you are so smug and judgemental about someone you claim is “just wholesale making shit up”

        When you claim:

        The issue is this “fundraiser” existed prior to the shooting and is not for legal defenses.

        The op’s article clearly states that only funds received AFTER the shooting are not to be used according to the judge. Funds for bail do not need to be acquired specifically for legal defense, in fact him receiving funds from his fans after the shooting most likely for his legal defense is expressly WHY the judge is saying they can’t be used.

        I guess I shouldn’t have given you all this valuable information unless you “asked nicely” first. Silly me.

          This is how slippery slopes start

          First off, thank you for immediately telling everyone you don’t know anything about the topic.

          Secondly, a judge saying certain monies can’t be used for bail is by no stretch a new thing.

          It’s literally the reason why pimps wear gold chains, and if you ask nice I might explain the connection for you.

                See Democrats like you would rather play word games about whether I am using the classic definition of liberalism or the modern US one instead of fixing your broken-ass party. As an independent centrist, it is so sad to see how badly your party has destroyed itself over the last 50 years. As long as Democrats act smug, they will lose more elections than they win. But keep being a pedant, I’m sure it makes you so popular with other human beings!

                  Buddy…

                  You just typed a whole bunch of words instead of what you think “liberal” means.

                  It’s a term that gets thrown around a lot here and everyone means something different. So the only way this works is if people clarify what they’re talking about instead of vague labels.

                  Just in general in 2026, if youre not being pedantic and just blindly following labels…

                  Statistically some billionaire somewhere is manipulating you. People need to understand shit these days, don’t be upset when people take a couple seconds to help you understand.

                  You don’t have to agree with me, you won’t for a while. But eventually if you understand enough (honestly not much) you realize the only thing on the to-do list is a billionaire free society. We do that and whatever it doesn’t solve, we can talk about next
