GoFundMe For UNC Students Who Protected Flag From Pro-Hamas Mob Raises Big Money

A group of UNC students will be living it up after America united behind a GoFundMe to support them.

A small group of UNC frat bros were filmed this week protecting a fallen American flag that had been taken down by a pro-Hamas mob. The heroic students withstood being pelted with objects to make sure the flag was protected and not desecrated further.

It didn't take long at all for patriotic Americans to come together once the footage went viral.

Heroic UNC students will get a massive party for free thanks to GoFundMe earnings.

The GoFundMe for Pi Kappa Phi (which can be found here) was set up Wednesday with one simple goal in mind:

Treat the young men who stood down the pro-Hamas mob to a massive rager on behalf of grateful Americans.

Well, it's a smashing success because the fundraiser has already raised more than $320,000 as of publication Thursday morning.  That's enough to buy 16,000 cases of Miller Lite, and includes a $10,000 donation from billionaire investor Bill Ackman.

That's what we like to call a win for the good guys.

America unites behind UNC bros who defended fallen American flag.

I was so inspired by what these students did that I literally got the shirt below to rock around Washington, D.C. bars. I'm sure it will spark plenty of interesting conversations!

Plenty of people also wrote messages on GoFundMe expressing their support and gratitude for the young men. Check out a few of the comments below:

• Thank you for standing up and doing the right thing. You made a lot of people proud during some dark divisive times. Hope you guys have an awesome party! Cheers

More than anything, this situation is a beautiful reminder there are plenty of great young people willing to take a stand for the red, white and blue. I'd be lying if I said it didn't make me want to shed a patriotic tear. Let me know your thoughts at David.Hookstead@outkick.com!
