According to tax forms obtained by the <em>Washington Free Beacon<\/em>, the fund raised just $837,000 in 2021, a far cry from the $41.7 million it raised during the George Floyd riots in 2020.<\/p>\n<p>What happened? Well, it turns out that the fund used those donations to bail out a host of violent offenders, including alleged murderers and pedophiles. And as a result, its support has dwindled.<\/p>\n<h3>Black Lives Matter: Another Social Justice Darling Falls from Grace<\/h3>\n<p>The Minnesota Freedom Fund is not alone in its decline. Black Lives Matter, which raised $90 million following Floyd&#8217;s death, reported an 88 percent drop in revenues in its 2022 fiscal year. The group spent a sizable portion of its windfall on luxury mansions and lucrative contracts for the family and friends of the group&#8217;s co-founder, Patrisse Cullors.<\/p>\n<h3>The Minnesota Freedom Fund&#8217;s Downfall<\/h3>\n<p>So, what did the Minnesota Freedom Fund do with all that money? Not much, it seems. The group spent only $210,000 to help bail people out of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/kamala-backed-bail-fund-sees-revenues-plummet-by-98-percent\/\" title=\"Kamala-supported bail fund revenue drops 98%.\">jail facing protest-related charges<\/a>, according to its own reporting in September 2020. The rest went to post bail for violent offenders.<\/p>\n<p>Some of those offenders went on to commit more crimes, including murder. George Howard, who was bailed out of jail by the Minnesota Freedom Fund following a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/richard-sherman-arrested-on-burglary-domestic-violence-charge-denied-bail\/\" title=\"Richard Sherman Arrested On Burglary Domestic Violence Charge, Denied Bail\">domestic violence charge<\/a>, shot and killed a man during a road rage incident in August 2021. And repeat felon Shawn Michael Tillman shot and killed a passenger on a St. Paul light rail platform in May 2022, just a month after the fund helped secure his release from jail on a separate indecent exposure charge.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s no wonder that the Minnesota Freedom Fund has fallen from grace. But will other social justice organizations learn from its mistakes?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Minnesota Freedom Fund, supported by Vice President Kamala Harris, saw a 98% decline in donations in 2021, according to tax forms obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.
