        Yeah, without some kind of established source, we aren’t going to allow a random GoFundMe.

        In fact, I’m not sure we allow GoFundMes in general…

    “He thought it was funny,” Ms. Pirro said of the defendant in a video posted online. “Well, he doesn’t think it’s funny today, because we charged with him with a felony.”

              They got insanely lucky then, as most people with a felony can’t get a job, anywhere, and the places that do hire people with felonies generally don’t pay much higher than minimum wage.

                i mean with all things it depends. it depends on the felony, it depends on the job sector, ect ect ect. there’s been some accounting firms i’ve been at with more felons than not.
