Comments Thread For: Andre Dirrell Takes a Stand Against Poisoned Water in Flint

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Flint, MI - Olympic bronze medalist and super middleweight star Andre Dirrell has taken matters into his own hands with a grassroots effort to raise funds in toward the purchase of clean water for those affected by the poisoned water crisis in his hometown of Flint. President *****, last month, declared a national state of emergency in Flint, Michigan, whose water supply was contaminated with toxic levels of lead when its source was changed from Lake Huron to the Flint River. To date, over 102,000 people have been poisoned and the number continues to climb (source: Huffington Post).

man STFU donate and keep it moving, why set up a go fund me page to do what other organizations are already doing. we dont need a 1000 organizations doing the same damn thing, too many chiefs not enough indians, spread awareness of other already established organizations that have the logistics already in place to make things happens. I never understood that shit but go ahead at least he getting his donation matched.

But honestly just money down the drain, they said they wont be able to fix the problem for at least 15 years, the people at flint cant live their for that amount of time under those conditions and cant donate water bottles to keep them afloat till then. #GHOSTTOWN

I remember Anthony Dirrell beat cancer, one has to wonder if the water/lead was the cause.

If someone from Flint reads this, recommend your people who were posioned to try to do chelation therapy, it is the only way to detoxify yourselve from heavy metals in your body. Look it up and investigate for yourself. Try to see if there is any physician close to your area who practices chelation therapy.

The politicians that caused this need to be forced to drink the same water as the residents drink. This would be a great move and cause idiots to think about others.
