In his donation message, Kid Rock called Penny a &#8220;hero&#8221; and criticized Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, a Democrat, as a &#8220;POS.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The fundraiser, hosted on Christian crowdfunding site GiveSendGo, has raised over $2.3 million from more than 49,000 donors as of Tuesday morning.

Penny turned himself in on second-degree manslaughter charges and was released on a $100,000 bond, with his passport confiscated. He is due back in court on July 17.<\/p>\n<h3>Support for Penny<\/h3>\n<p>The GiveSendGo campaign has become the second largest in the site&#8217;s history, with donations coming in at one point at $1,000 per minute.
