The "Michael T. Slager Support Fund," which appeared at IndieGoGo after a similar campaign was pulled from the site GoFundMe, no longer exists, and its page was replaced on Friday by a generic 404 page with no explanation. In a statement to Ars Technica, IndieGoGo confirmed that the campaign "did not meet" the standards of the site's Trust and Safety Team.

The fundraising campaign, and its associated Facebook page, never contained any identifying information or clarification as to where any raised funds would be sent, and messages sent by Ars Technica to both pages' contact links were never answered. As of press time, the Facebook page hadn't been updated to reflect the IndieGoGo closure.

When this was open , it was not attracting a lot of money.

I can see a few different reasons.



Michael Slanger is not highly sympathetic with the public.

There was no guarantee offered that the funds would be properly spent . The scent of scam was in the air.

Host websites were understandably reluctant to connect themselves with a very unpopular cause.


Is justice served this way?

If the public finds you appealing you can afford a better lawyer. So try to break unpopular laws in popular ways.

Before they shut it down, there were lots of posts where posters said they were donating a dollar just to call this guy a naughty name.

Rather fuzzy thinking.
