Re: Supporters Donate to "vacation" Fund for Taunted Bus Monitor * Update
Bullied school bus monitor Karen Klein might have more than $335,000 to vacation far away from the Greece, N.Y., pupils who bullied her in a profanity-laced video that went viral this week. Nearly 10,000 online sympathizers had donated that much money by Thursday evening on the fund-raising site Indiegogo.com in a campaign called “Lets Give Karen – The bus monitor – H Klein A Vacation.” The fund-raising was set up through a reddit.com member, identified as Max Sidorov of Toronto, Canada, after he saw the video called "Making the Bus Monitor Cry" posted to YouTube on Monday. “It’s an incredible campaign,” Slava Rubin, who cofounded Indiegogo.com in 2008, told msnbc.com. “We’re seeing good Samaritans come together to support this brave woman.” An Indiegogo spokesperson earlier told msnbc.com that the website was in touch with Klein, and she would receive her money when the campaign is over, scheduled for July 20. Indiegogo charges 4 percent for the fund-raising, Rubin said. Klein was featured Thursday on the TODAY show, and later said she doesn't really want the “nasty kids” charged. GOOD FOR HER! |

Re: Supporters Donate to "vacation" Fund for Taunted Bus Monitor * Update
This is a post, apprently on twitter, not MY words. Apparently, the public thinks she deserves every penny! I hope it sets an example for future little assholes! The public has spoken! Makes me food good that everyone isn't a peice of shit without respect for anyone! When the story broke about a bus monitor being taunted to tears by a bunch of little a-holes in Greece, N.Y., the Internet's collective heart bled. People responded to the 68-year-old's pain and donated to give her a well-deserved vacation. Maybe she reminded them of their own grandmas, or maybe the footage took them back to the horror of their own school days. Whatever, it was beautiful. But as donations approach $500,000 with 29 days left to go, some people are asking: Does she really deserve it? Let's face it: That kind of cash can go a long way — 5,000 goats for starving African families, a year's tuition for a dozen underprivileged kids at Harvard, a new gold-flecked hairpiece for Donald Trump. Just sayin'. |

Re: Supporters Donate to "vacation" Fund for Taunted Bus Monitor * Update
of course she deserves the money. anybody saying she doesn't is just jealous that they aren't getting it! there is no doubt in my mind that this woman will put the money to good use. why don't the people that are bitching and moaning fucking donate to those causes they deem "more" worthy? it isn't their money to decide where it goes. jealous losers, all of them.
