Two sisters from Arkansas, who were caught on video trashing a Charlie Kirk memorial, are now begging for money after they lost their jobs.
Kerri, 23, and Kaylee Rollo, 22, are seeking $18 000 dollars to cover their legal fees after allegedly vandalizing a Kirk memorial of candles and signs set up at the Benton County Courthouse, NY Post reports.
โMy sibling and I are being doxxed online and my sibling was fired from their job,โ Kaylee wrote on the GoFundMe page they set up, adding that their First Amendment rights had been violated.
โPlease help my sibling while they look for another job and stand against the tyranny that is creeping into the country,โ she continued.
However, the sisters were caught on camera. They were filmed kicking candles over and shredding signs.
โFโk Charlie Kirk,โ Kerri said in the video. โCharlie Kirk died as he lived, promoting violence. Fโk Charlie Kirk.โ
On September 17, the sisters were arrested.
โEveryone has a right to be able to express their freedom of expression. But what the issue is, is when you trample on someoneโs memorial, the human act of grieving,โ Joseph Bollinger, Benton County Justice of the Peace, said, per 40/29 News.
โYouโre not just trampling on their freedom of expression, youโre trampling on the memory of a person. Youโre trampling on our Benton County values,โ he added.
Kerri was fired from her job at a restaurant, while Kayleeโs boyfriend left her and told her to move out, according to the Daily Mail.
โKaylee has lived in my home now for over a year, and I have never once cut her down or not allowed her to have the beliefs that she has,โ Lacy Christian, the mother of Kayleeโs ex, said, the Daily Mail reported.
โHowever, I will not allow someone living in my home to be OK or celebrate a murder,โ she added. โI will never allow someone to live in my home who is OK with destroying a memorial for someone else.โ
Kerri and Kaylee were charged with first-degree criminal mischief and paid a bond worth $22,500. As of Monday, they have managed to raise almost $24 000.
