Most insensitive crowdfunding campaign… ever?
The sister of accused mass-murderer Dylann Roof set up a crowdfunding campaign for her wedding, but has now taken it down.
Good.
Last month, Roof — who has now been revealed as a white supremacist — sat for an hour in the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston before reportedly opening fire on the congregation and killing nine black people.

His sister, Amber, cancelled her wedding, which was supposed to take place four days later, because of the massacre.
“Our wedding day was supposed to be the most important and special day of our lives,” the woman identifying as Amber wrote on her GoFundMe page.
“It was supposed to be the start of our lives together with our new family. Our day was the exact opposite. Our wedding day was full of sorrow, pain, and shame, tainted by the actions of one man.”
This may well be true, but in the list of victims affected by this despicable hate-crime, Amber doesn’t rank high on the list.
