Two Arkansas sisters are begging for money after they were caught on camera trashing a Charlie Kirk memorial and got canned from their jobs.
Kerri, 23, and Kaylee Rollo, 22, set up a GoFundMe seeking $18,000 to cover legal fees last week after they were arrested days earlier for allegedly vandalizing a Kirk memorial of candles and signs on the Benton County Courthouse steps for the assassinated Turning Point USA co-founder.
“My sibling and I are being doxxed online and my sibling was fired from their job,” Kaylee wrote in the GoFundMe, adding that their First Amendment rights were being violated.
“Please help my sibling while they look for another job and stand against the tyranny that is creeping into the country,” she added.
Despite her claims, Kaylee and her sister may be the ones infringing on free speech rights — as they were filmed shredding signs memorializing Kirk and kicking the candles over in footage that went viral online.
“F–k Charlie Kirk,” Kerri, who uses they pronouns, said in the video, before flipping two middle fingers at the camera. “Film all you want.”
“Charlie Kirk died as he lived, promoting violence,” Kerri added, and yelled “F–k Charlie Kirks” a few more times before storming off with her sister in tow.
But law enforcement caught wind of the video, and the sisters were arrested on Sept. 17.
“Everyone has a right to be able to express their freedom of expression. But what the issue is, is when you trample on someone’s memorial, the human act of grieving,” said Benton County Justice of the Peace Joseph Bollinger, according to 40/29 News.
“You’re not just trampling on their freedom of expression, you’re trampling on the memory of a person. You’re trampling on our Benton County values,” he added.

And the Rollos apparently found that out the hard way.
After they were arrested, Kerri was fired from work at an Arkansas restaurant, and Kaylee’s boyfriend dumped her and told her to move out, the Daily Mail reported.
“Kaylee 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,” said Lacy Christian, the mother of Kaylee’s ex, according to the Mail.
“However, I will not allow someone living in my home to be OK or celebrate a murder,” she added. “I will never allow someone to live in my home who is OK with destroying a memorial for someone else.”
As of Wednesday afternoon, the sisters have managed to raise nearly $15,000, which they say will go to “legal counsel and court fees.”
But some of that cash appears to be from trolls who donated the platform’s minimum amount so they could tell the sisters how they really feel in the page’s comments.

“I guess it pays to do something deplorable,” one person wrote, while another said, “You got what you deserved.”
“Only low life humans would do such a thing to a another human, let alone a father,” they said.
The sisters were charged with first-degree criminal mischief, and both were freed on bond worth $22,500 altogether.
Kirk, the father of two young children, was assassinated on Sept. 10, when a single shot allegedly fired by Tyler Robinson, 22, struck him as he spoke at Utah Valley University.
