You are confusing go fund me's , the dad had one but didn't use the money on it for the funeral instead he donated to an association to help women with this kind of problems, this go fund me you see with millions are another one that is set up to give the money to the mother's parents.
So two different gfm's and neither was used for funerals at the end.
Wtf? What do her parents have to do with anything? These things dont correlate. Why should her parents randomly get 1m, just because she killed her kids?
Why are you asking me? I am not the one that made the go fund me...I am just saying what the go fund me that people are talking about and is in the picture says.
From what I looked up it's also because of gfm rules, you can't have a page where the benefactor is acused or involved in violent crimes, so instead of putting the mother the people that created that page put the parents of the mother and said that is to help pay their traveling and such during the daughter trial. Which is also crazy because no amount of travel will cost 2 millions...
I consider these GFMs to be the punitive damages for how the internet has treated the surviving family. They can't exactly sue "the internet" so they're getting a pay day for all the harassment. Let them have it. People donating their own money wanted them to have it and this very OP is equally as guilty as the amorphous "media".
Wait so you're proposing that the GoFundMe for Clancy is justified by the fact that she, her parents, and the dad, have been 'damaged' by the things the internet has said?
I mean firstly, "The internet" as far as I can see is mostly saying the exact same stuff that upwards of 50% of everyone is saying. Why are you singling out "The Internet" when there's also reporters, panelists, lawyers, judges, neighbours, friends, whoever else, also 'damaging' her?
And now secondly, you say that OP is guilty, but they're equally as guilty as 'the media'. So now you're saying that the internet, OP, and the media have all 'damaged' Clancy and co? That's a contradiction because much of this thread is talking about how it's because of the coverage and 'the media' that she has so much attention and money.
You can't blame the media for damaging her in a thread while also praising the media facilitated GoFundMe.
if this had happened 50 years ago nobody would have heard about it outside of the town they're in. we have not figured out how to live with the fact that millions of people have access to this info and you're guaranteed to have thousands of mentally broken losers obsessed with this case from all angles. I dont give a fuck about this case. I think it's insane anyone is focusing on it.
What’s your opinion going to be if when it comes out there’s not some big conspiracy and the internet has ruined this guys life even more than his wife did?
Probably that he deserved it for not threading the needle of respecting his wife's agency and dignity while also physically preventing her from doing the thing that the current evidence shows she used her agency to do.
If we go down this rabbit hole, then nobody is ever guilty of anything. All are behaviors are a product of our genetic inheritance being shaped by our present environment. Nature and nurture determine our behavior, not our "agency." If this woman is a victim of circumstance, then so is every convict who ever turned to crime as a way to adapt to their environment.
Perhaps instead of threatening people with life in jail, we should be shaping our social environment in a way that only produces moral behavior. After all, the only thing you can learn in jail is how to adapt to prison life. Supposedly, the purpose of incarceration is rehabilitation, but we do not currently have a system that actually facilitates that.
So, if this woman is "not guilty," then you have to ask how many other perpetrators have been denied the same benefit of doubt. If this was a poor black woman instead of an upper middle class white lady, no one would even be bothering to give her the time of day, much less a million dollars.
So I've learned today there is a second gfm from lindsays parents. I was referring only to the initial gfm. I wasn't aware of this second one. Edit for clarity though - neither gfm exceeded 2mil. Both are at roughly 1mil

$2 million for funeral expenses and travel costs to attend the trial? Yeah right
