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.
“My sibling and I are being doxxed online and my sibling was fired from their job,” Kaylee wrote on the GoFundMe page they set up, adding that their First Amendment rights had been violated.
“Please help my sibling while they look for another job and stand against the tyranny that is creeping into the country,” she continued.
However, the sisters were caught on camera. They were filmed kicking candles over and shredding signs.
“F–k Charlie Kirk,” Kerri said in the video. “Charlie Kirk died as he lived, promoting violence. F–k Charlie Kirk.”

On September 17, the sisters were arrested.
“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,” Joseph Bollinger, Benton County Justice of the Peace, said, per 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.
Kerri was fired from her job at a restaurant, while Kaylee’s boyfriend left her and told her to move out, according to the Daily Mail.
“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,” Lacy Christian, the mother of Kaylee’s ex, said, the Daily Mail reported.
“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.”
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.
