i posted about this in the trump and succ threads and nichael asked me to make a thread so i'm making a thread. here's the post i made earlier

I'm going to be posting a go fund me later for my best friend

His car spontaneously combusted while he was driving on the highway with his girlfriend. He crashed, got out, on fire, realized she was still inside, and managed to pull her out before the whole thing went up. He's got some serious burns over his whole body, she had spinal cord damage and spent nine hours in surgery. The cops are trying to say he was drunk and hit a pole twenty miles away from where the accident happened. He has no health insurance, he needs a lawyer, and his phone and wallet were incinerated in the car. I cant do enough. I need help, to help him. Anything I raise goes to him to pay for a lawyer and a doctor and a new phone so he can actually get in touch with people. If you can't help, please, just pass it around. He's had a lot of rough breaks in his life and doesn't really have anyone to turn to besides my partner and I.

i forgot to mention in this post, there's a recall on his car, because apparently spontaneous combustion was just a feature of them

please yall. i know goons are surprisingly good people when it counts, and he needs help. if you can give money, great, gofundme is real and strong and an unfortunate necessity in hellworld. if you can't, please just help spread this around, get some eyes on it. if you know any lawyers in the syracuse ny area, please DM me on twitter, @kamenrideruno

please

This is extremely hosed. Don't let yourself drown in it, OP. Keep pulling for your friend and do everything you can - they're lucky to have someone like you in their lives. You can also contact local media and give them correct information. It's a small thing, but at least they won't only be getting info from the police.

Yeah, GoFundMe let's you withdraw whenever you want and still tracks progress toward the final goal. Regardless of how much we raise from here on out, he's definitely getting $750 to help with legal fees and poo poo

Thank you so much goons. This really is the best community, of the dumbest people

Oh good, I was worried about that as well. Was pretty sure its only Kickstarter that makes you wait until you've hit your goal, but capitalism always throws new and exciting twists!

A friend recommended a lawyer but he wants 3500 just as a retainer, so now we're trying to shop around and see what else exists. Weve hit and beaten the original goal, thanks to all of you, but it's not over yet. Please keep circulating the link.thanks all of you, this really is the best place.

Quick update on my friend, we didn't know if they had run a BAC test when they took blood at the hospital so we didn't know what they'd have to use against him at trial but apparently they didn't do that and he didn't blow at the scene so right now their evidence of dwi appears to be "had accident"

We might fuckin beat them after all

did they just not administer one at the scene or did he refuse to take one

if he refused that makes it harder, but hed also is probably going to lose his license for a while and get fined regardless of the dwi

yeah I double checked

its 500 dollar fine not counting the extra bullshit administrative fees and a 12 month suspension if you refuse a breathalyzer

and they can still go after you for dwi it's just harder
