Falsely outraged? How would you feel if one of your loved ones was gunned down, and the person who did it has a sister soliciting for funds to cover her postponed wedding. Meanwhile you have a funeral to pay for and try pick yourself up the floor so you can try and function.
Were your relatives one of the ones shot in Charleston? If not, then it's quite presumptuous to attack someone and justify it on how "they" might feel. You don't know how they feel, and further make error that they think like you.
The only thing dumber than asking for wedding money on gofundme is people being mad about Dylann Roof's sister doing it. Did she kill anyone? I guess the SJWs never have enough people and things to complain about.
She has to go on with her life, maybe she was not close to her brother, she can't be responsible for her brother's heinous crimes. Everyone has to take responsibility for their own actions.
But when she puts up a GoFundMe page to solicit donations from strangers, it ceases to be her private life.
It doesn't seem like she was soliciting strangers. The way her GOFundMe page was worded, it sounded like it was directed at friends and family who wouldn't be able to make another trip to see them get married.

Out of respect for those who lost their lives as well as for safety. The media published all her wedding details and since the whole family was getting death threats canceling the wedding was the best thing to do.
If she could afford the wedding she can afford to pay the costs associated with cancelling.
I'm not sorry her "special day" got ruined. Weddings are fun and great but in our society it's become more about having an awesome party than it is about the marriage and the love and lifelong commitment of that day.
I'm not saying people shouldn't have a party I'm just saying if she really wants to marry him she can still do that. It's the marriage vows that should be the most important not the party.
I still don't get why they couldn't have gone ahead. I'm sure that someone would have volunteered to pick up security.

I would not have felt safe doing so and would have wanted a lot of security.
It's silly that people use gofundme. Silly that people have big weddings. Stupid that this woman would be blamed for merely being a sister. I would hate to be judged on the sociopaths in my family. They're not me and I'm not them.
Over 100k from one done alone. That covers all 9 funerals and then some.
Yea because asking for donations for a wedding is totally the same thing ask asking for donations to bury a loved one who was murdered.
