Seems to be another way to get attention, somehow. Just looking at the commenters pictures, most of them look like pictures from picture pools. I am asking myself, are those people real?

Why doesnt such a thing just get ignored? Why do people spend time on commenting there?
Just ignore it, dont fund, and such requests will disappear.

I dont want to live in this world!

Come on guys, it's not his fault that he is stupid. His parents didn't set a good example in his youth, his school failed him of a proper education, his friends weren't there for him, the government didn't provide bus service, the bar where was partying didn't step up either.

Don't you think it is rather clever of the kid?. Use the tools that you have, play on people's pyschology, get $600.

Go into business someday and become wealthy using other people's money. How un-American.

I have a general distrust for gofundme pages and it's because of people like this idiot. I'm sure there are some real needs out there but *******s like this ruin it for the truly deserving.

Can I start a gofundme because work is hard and it doesn't give me enough time to play with my kids? Oh wait, I see...

No I don't. Take the technology out of the conversation; kid racks up a huge bill one night by using a taxi. The next day, he stands on the corner holding out a cup in one hand and a megaphone (proclaiming to all his "plight") in the other.

Would you still think he's being "clever" or a lazy idiot?

So I shouldn't create an account to help fund my 71E restoration?
Come on guys, $100 each and I can get all the sheet metal.
