A GiveSendGo campaign launched by independent journalist Tom Hennessey has quickly raised more than $12,000 for 21-year-old Jaxton Tayte Collins, the Montana man facing a felony charge after he allegedly told an Indian man to “go back to his country” during an August encounter at Helena’s Walking Mall.
Collins was arraigned this week in Lewis and Clark County District Court on one felony count of malicious intimidation or harassment of civil or human rights, and one misdemeanor count of assault.
Jaxton Tayte Collins, a 21-year-old Montana man, faces up to five years in prison after telling an Indian man to “go back to his country” during an encounter in downtown Helena.
Prosecutors have charged Collins with felony malicious intimidation or harassment and misdemeanor assault, although he disputes the allegation that he physically shoved the Indian man.

Court documents state that Helena police responded around 7 p.m. on August 7 after someone called and reported that a man in an orange shirt and large cross necklace approached his friend, who is of Indian descent and wears a head covering, shoved him with both hands, and told him to go back to his country.
Collins later told officers he had been drinking at a bar and admitted shouting the words because he was angry, but he denied any shove, according to a report from the Billings Gazette.
Hennessey’s GiveSendGo page, titled “Stand with Jaxton Collins,” describes the case as free-speech prosecution of a young man who “said the obvious out loud” about “H-1B lottery winners” and others who, the description states, “fail to assimilate,” send remittances abroad, and undercut American workers.
@remarks The fundraiser is up, stand with Jaxton.

The description reads in full:
Jaxton Tayte Collins told an Indian to go home. Now he’s facing a felony for saying it.
These H-1B lottery winners and racial aliens are now showing up in Montana uninvited. They immediately start wiring every dollar they can extract back to India, fail to assimilate their alien culture, and start stinking up the place while working as cheap slave labor to undercut and replace American jobs. Jaxton said the obvious out loud.
Donate so Jaxton can beat the felony and remind the next group of racial aliens that America isn’t their remittance machine.
The page set a $20,000 goal and raised thousands of dollars within hours of going live.
Hennessey confirmed he spoke with Collins, who approved the effort and thanked supporters.
🚨 Jaxton Update 🚨
I just spoke to Jaxton; he is aware of and approves the fundraiser. He’s shocked by all the support and says thank you. He already has retainer fees, so this is much needed. He’ll be added officially as the sole beneficiary now that I have his information.
More information to come.
Thank you!

When asked about the fundraiser, Hennessey told The Gateway Pundit:
“This is another example of two-tier justice. Without the racial-motive framing, a disputed push after drinking is ordinarily a low-level misdemeanor (or nothing). With it, the same facts suddenly become a multi-year felony. Why are Indians in Montana anyway??”

This isn’t the first time Hennessey has raised huge amounts of money with a viral campaign.
In September, Hennessey launched a fundraiser for the lone holdout juror in the Lindsay Clancy case, raising over $430,000 for him amid a media smear campaign.
One of Hennessy’s most prominent previous campaigns was for Shiloh Hendrix in Rochester, Minnesota, last May.
A video showed Hendrix at a playground saying the N-word to a black child after the child had taken items from her toddler’s diaper bag.
Hennessy launched a GiveSendGo campaign to help her relocate and cover legal fees. The campaign raised more than $940,000, and Hendrix later confirmed she received the funds.
In June, he raised money for a Texas nurse who was fired after a viral confrontation with a Muslim nurse in a grocery store.
Another case centered on Crystal Wilsey, a Cinnabon employee in Ashwaubenon, Wisconsin, whose December viral video captured her using the N-word and other slurs toward Somali customers during a dispute over an order.
As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, the company fired her, after which Hennessey launched the “Stand With Crystal” GiveSendGo campaign, which raised well over $100,000.
Collins has pleaded not guilty, and his next hearing is set for April 8.
If convicted of the felony, he faces up to five years in prison and a $5,000 fine.
