State investigating website set up as a memorial to a man who killed eight people

Connecticut officials are launching an investigation into a website set up by Lillie Holliday, the mother of a man who killed eight employees at a Manchester beer distribution warehouse on August 3, 2010.

Holliday's controversial site functions as a memorial to her son and solicits donations to fight institutionalized racism. Holliday says she plans to use the funds donated to the site to conduct an independent investigation into the shootings.

On Early Start this morning, Holliday joins Ali Velshi to explain why she set up the site and to explain why she does not want to take the website down despite public pressure for its removal.

    How is someone able to respond to this womans statements. My brother was the president of the union who allowed the murderer not to be arrested for his crime of stealing, and he was shot twice in the head for it, now the mother is allowed to go on national television and continue to call him and others racist. this has to STOP. The facts have been proven yet she still says racism existed. CNN please help the families and put an end to this womans ability to spread lies. The only racism was a black man who hated white people so much he would gun them down the way he did and blame it on something that did not exist.
