‘Reprehensible’: Backlash over GoFundMe for Slain SJW’s Friends to Take Off Work to ‘Grieve’
Joshua Klein 6 Oct 2023
Backlash is growing after a GoFundMe was organized for slain social justice activist Ryan Carson’s friends to take off work and “grieve.”
The 32-year-old high-profile leftist human rights activist was stabbed to death in Democrat-run New York on Monday, after a knife-wielding suspect charged him and his girlfriend and struck his heart, killing him.
The GoFundMe page for Ryan Thoresen Carson states was organized on behalf of Claudia Morales, the victim’s girlfriend and BLM activist who reportedly refused to give a description of the assailant to police, forcing them to retrieve it through surveillance footage.

“We are a collective of Ryan’s close friends, reeling from a brutal loss. We are asking for your help on behalf of his partner in easing the burden and stress of this horrifying situation so that we can have space and time to grieve, and remember Ryan,” the page reads.
According to these friends, “Immediate needs are to offset the costs of working class people taking time off of work to properly mourn.”
“It is this time of remembrance and healing that will allow for reflection; we thank you in advance for any material support you can provide,” they concluded.
As of Friday morning, the cause has received over $70,000 — though some of those who donated appeared to do so ironically in order to express their disgust over the fundraiser.
