(Townhall) In response to woke Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s decision to file charges against former U.S. Marine Daniel Penny, thousands of donors raced to show their support by donating more than $1 million.
More than 23,000 donors gathered to donate money to the GiveSendGo campaign created by Perry’s attorneys. By Saturday, that support reached $1,400,314, with donations averaging $821 a minute, causing the website to disable for over an hour.
Donations averaged more than $1,100 per minute at one point before the site got overwhelmed and shut down.
Penny is facing second-degree manslaughter charges in New York City stemming from the death of Jordan Neely, a homeless man with a criminal record and over 40 arrests reportedly threatening subway riders who died after being subdued by the Marine veteran.
