iFanboy has set up a donations page to support Grand Rapids comic retailer David Pirkola, who was critically shot in a robbery attempt at his store Friday night.
From their site:
We’ve spoken with Peter Ryan, who along with Stephen Jayner owns Capital City Collectibles in Lansing, MI and are close friends and co-owners of Apparitions Comics and Books, and he confirmed that David is in the hospital and stable, but still severely injured. As you can imagine, no matter how speedy the recovery, getting back to running his business will be challenging. Even normally, running an independent comic book store is an incredibly difficult job, and many retailers often operate with limited or no personal health insurance. Given that retailers are such an important part of our industry, we want to help out as much as possible.
So iFanboy is putting out the call to you, comics fans to help a retailer in need. We’ve set up a PayPal donation button below to allow you donate as much as you’d like. You can use credit cards or bank accounts, and don’t need a PayPal account to donate. All money donated will be sent to David Pirkola to help with his medical bills, as well as to keep his store afloat, so if you can spare it, please donate below.
You can head over to iFanboys page and click on the Paypal button at the bottom to donate.

This has nothing to do with the law per se. It happens to be a criminal legal case, but that’s not the point. I’m reporting this more as a personal interest item.
