Seems like a worthy cause. Update: Thompson's wife weighs in.

Courtesy of Go Fund Me:  

Eric Thompson was at a party for about 70 friends on September 6th, 2014. At some point during the evening a massive, "Jerry Springer" type fight broke out involving the Palin family. 

ABC's Good Morning America contacted Eric, most likely because he had given his name to the police for the report. GMA asked if he would give an interview, and did so, not asking for money in return. 

Eric did not make a dime from giving his testimony of the Palin brawl to GMA. 

About an hour after the GMA interview, Eric Thompson received a call from his boss saying that he was being immediately fired. 

Eric really wants a job more than anything, but seeing as this was such a sudden release of employment it has left him in a bit of a bind for the month. Also, lawyer fees are now stacking up thanks to this whole debacle. 

I just donated $100.00 to the cause.

At the time of this post the amount stands at $570.00 which is not going to get him very far.

I think that by the end of the day we can get that up to several thousand. 

Just think of it this way, helping him is sending a message to every other person out there that if the Palins come after you there are those who will have your back.

And really, who better than us?

Update: Eric Thompson's wife has also giving HER eyewitness report.

It essentially matches her husband's, though she did add this: 

She also expressed her frustration about the police investigation and that no charges have been filed. She said she, her husband and a number of other party guests spoke to investigators that night. 

"I just think when people assault other people that they should be arrested," she said. "Or at least charged. Especially when there's that many eyewitnesses. I don't think just because you're a Palin that you should not have to suffer the same consequences as any other person."

I could not agree more.
