The sister of the suspected Charleston church shooter, Dylann Roof, is asking the public for donations — but not for her brother.
In a “Go Fund Me” post, Amber Roof is asking for $5,000 to pay for her and her fiance’s wedding, which was originally scheduled for June 21.
They canceled the wedding after her brother was accused of the shooting at Emanuel AME church just three days earlier.
In a post on the Go Fund Me page, Amber said canceling the ceremony cost them thousands of dollars and brought sorrow, pain and shame to her wedding day.
“Our wedding day was suppose to be the most important and special day of our lives. It was suppose to start 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,” Amber said in the post.
Amber said she will donate 10 percent of the money raised to Emanuel AME.
So far, the couple has not rescheduled their wedding.
Must suck to be the sister of a racist mass murderer. She seems to disavow her brother, referring to him as “one man”.
And it is nice the she intends to donate some of the money to the church.
Anyway, if you click on the link, the GoFundMe page is gone. But here is a screenshot someone obtained before it was taken down.
I just hope she wasn’t bombarded with hateful messages. On the other hand, maybe the whole thing was a scam. Or maybe some nice person came alone and offered to pay for the wedding. In any event, if the comments on this Facebook page are any indication, people are coming down pretty hard on her.
