Fundraiser To Throw A Party For UNC Frat Bros Who Guarded American Flag During Protest Raises Over $400,000 In 24 Hours

This is going to be one hell of a party. A fundraiser for a group of fraternity brothers who were caught on camera guarding the American flag from protestors has quickly taken off, and it looks like these guys are going to have what may turn out to be the world’s biggest frat party. As I’m sure you’re aware by now, protests have been popping up on college campuses all over the country calling for universities to divest from Israel and support Palestine amid the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. Protestors at Columbia University and many others across the country have set up encampments and occupied buildings, leading to tense standoffs with university officials and law enforcement who are trying to maintain order on campus. At the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill earlier this week, protestors took down the American flag on the campus quad and replaced it with a Palestinian flag, a move that (understandably) upset quite a few people. Police eventually escorted UNC chancellor Lee Roberts out to personally replace the stars and stripes, leading to a heated confrontation with the pro-Palestinian protestors. But after the flag was replaced, an unlikely group of heroes emerged to protect it from the angry mob: Frat bros. A photo quickly went viral of the group of fraternity brothers protecting the American flag, singing the national anthem as it was being hoisted back above campus and smiling at protestors who were hurling things at them as they surrounded the flagpole. https://twitter.com/estradguillermo/status/1785431824660873451 https://twitter.com/mualphaxi/status/1785481782525153345 Well social media loved them so much that somebody has even established a GoFundMe to support these guys in pretty much the best way possible to support a group of frat guys: Throwing them a rager. https://twitter.com/greg_price11/status/1785682387910738097 According to the description of the GoFundMe:
