#AltonSterlingFamily Scholarship

I think you should up the request. And speak with a lawyer, a banker, and/or the family about starting a 529 plan- it allows the earnings on the amount donated to the savings account to be tax free if the money is used for the beneficiary's college. Maybe one could be made for each child if the request was upped ?

If you have to question Issa's legitimacy you should remove yourself expeditiously! You're part of the problem!!

THIS WOMAN IS NOT A STRANGER OR A RANDO, SHE'S A WELL KNOWN ACTRESS. no black folk seem to be questioning her legitimacy.

Goal reached in 3 hours! It's amazing what people can do when we work together. Thank you, Issa, for creating this rallying point of support.

We trust you, Issa. You will do the right thing with the funds. Keep giving everyone. Alton's life mattered.

This fund needs to be shut down and the money given to Blue Lives Matter. Here is homies life accomplishments: But Alton was such a good guy... Never did nuffin, except: And here is his CQH: 9/09/96 aggravated battery 10/31/97 2nd degree battery 1/06/98 simple battery 5/04/00 public intimidation 9/20/00 carnal knowledge of a juvenile 9/04/01 domestic violence 5/24/05 burglary of an inhabited dwelling place 7/11/05 receiving stolen things 9/12/05 burglary of inhabited dwelling place 3/17/06 simple criminal damage to property, simple robbery, simple theft, drug possession, misrepresentation during booking, simple battery, aggravated battery 4/12/06 aggravated battery, simple criminal damage to property, disturbing the peace, unauthorized entry 4/04/08 domestic abuse battery 6/03/09 resisting an officer, drug possession, receiving stolen things, possession of stolen firearm, illegal carrying of a weapon with CDs, sound reproduct without consent 10/12/09 illegal carrying of weapon, marijuana possession 8/13/15 failure to register as a sex offender 4/08/16 failure to register as a sex offender 6/14/16 ecstacy and marijuana possession

y'all. Issa does not need this money. She's the amazing mind behind Awkward Black Girl ( http://awkwardblackgirl.com/) and she is making a show with HBO. http://deadline.com/2015/10/issa-rae-insecure-comedy-series-hbo-1201584383/ She doesn't need me to defend her intentions, but jeez you can google that stuff.

Donating to a felon... and a pedophile to boot. Sickening times we live in...

I'm sorry. If you have concerns, then just don't donate!! Because Alton Sterling had an undesirable past, that doesn't mean his family should suffer more for his PAST mistakes! And whatever he did in the past does nit justify him losing his life so unjustly & callously!! If you're just going to be negative because you feel like it, GET OFF THE PAGE!!! Do what you want with your money and opinions somewhere else!!!!

You people are a bunch of FOOLS! This money should go to the VICTIMS of his many years of crimes!!! Where is their justice! Of course leave up to criminals to still profit even after they are killed for resisting arrest! Shame on everyone who donated money into this "scholarship"! I would demand an accounting of every cent as I'm sure it will be spent by the time he even decides to go to college!

HE WAS A GANG BANGING, CHILD RAPING, DRUG DEALING CONVICTED FELON WHO HAD A GUN, WAS ON PROBATION AND KNEW HE WAS GOING TO JAIL. HE'S NOT INNOCENT. IT'S A SHAME HE DIED BUT KNOW THE FACTS BEFORE GLORIFYING SOMEONE WHO DOESN'T DESERVE IT.

With the child that was conceived via him raping a 14-year-old also have access to those funds?

9/09/96 aggravated battery 10/31/97 2nd degree battery 1/06/98 simple battery 5/04/00 public intimidation 9/20/00 carnal knowledge of a juvenile 9/04/01 domestic violence 5/24/05 burglary of an inhabited dwelling place 7/11/05 receiving stolen things 9/12/05 burglary of inhabited dwelling place 3/17/06 simple criminal damage to property, simple robbery, simple theft, drug possession, misrepresentation during booking, simple battery, aggravated battery 4/12/06 aggravated battery, simple criminal damage to property, disturbing the peace, unauthorized entry 4/04/08 domestic abuse battery 6/03/09 resisting an officer, drug possession, receiving stolen things, possession of stolen firearm, illegal carrying of a weapon with CDs, sound reproduct without consent 10/12/09 illegal carrying of weapon, marijuana possession 8/13/15 failure to register as a sex offender 4/08/16 failure to register as a sex offender 6/14/16 ecstacy and marijuana possession. For the nice gentleman who got killed. Plus he owed back child support of over 25 grand. He was not the good man people are portraying him to have been. No he did not deserve to die but he was a felon with a long record who was seen threatening people with a gun.

Given the tragedy that has occurred anyone who has an issue with donating just needs to not donate . Your ignorant and inappropriate comments are not necessary .

Bryan Herra, sick times we live in when someone has to go out of their way to add to a family's pain when you don't even know the circumstances. He was 20 when he got his 14 year old girlfriend pregnant that is not something that makes anyone deserve being shot 4 times at point blank range but you go ahead and let your racism cloud your judgement and put your energy into hurting people you don't know anything about.

If you don't trust it, keep it moving!!!

Bryan Herra, oh please like anyone believes your reaction is not based on race. People like you are so transparent. He was not even the person that the initial call was made about, it now appears it was not a gun they took out of his pocket, it was keys. You just jumped to all kinds of conclusions before all the facts are out and you're not convincing anyone that it'snot because you're a racist, sorry. I know your type, feeling all 10 feet tall behind a keyboard tormenting a family during the most tragic time of their life. Watch the video of his son crying for his dad and if you still have nothing better to do than pour salt in their wounds you probably just don't have a soul. Oh and BTW go fuck yourself right back loser racist pig.

I've read about Issa and although I only learned of her today, I trust the word of activist and journalist of the New York Daily News #ShaunKing who has vouched for her. I pray that we exceed $200,000 college isn't getting any cheaper.

I'm in tears! To see that the goal was surpassed is an incredible feeling... May this family find peace and know that they have an undeniable amount of support from people all across the country... Much love from St. Louis!

For those who are unfamiliar with Issa and her work. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm4793987/?ref_=nv_sr_1 I trust Issa to get the money to where it needs to be, and I think you all can too.
