re: Missing 18 year old's body found on Horn Island - and ridiculous reactions.

So Tatum said he has significant reason to believe Nolan was using cocaine and was in the water with another girl at some point.

There was likely an argument involved with another person but no evidence of a physical altercation.

Somebody reported to him that they saw both Nolan and the girl struggling in the water.

He knows who provided the cocaine and is turning the name over to the police (assuming they don’t already know).

He thinks Nolan was among one of the last groups to leave the island and “somebody saw something.”

By “somebody saw something” — I believe he could be insinuating somebody saw him go under and not come back up and they didn’t report it because they were all high.

He could be trying to reel back in some of the “Justice for Nolan” crowd but odd way to go about it with the cocaine allegations.

If that turns out to be the case, the person who provided the cocaine is screwed.

But I’m glad to finally see something being done to protect these boys.

I agree that this was most likely a drowning. I only said I'm interested in seeing the final autopsy & toxicology results from the state's ME. I trust their work more than Crump's. Additionally, I'm interested for more information regarding when was the last time he was seen, heard from, etc. Not a single time have I engaged with the whole racial narrative one way or another. That's not my thing.

Yet somehow, all of that makes me a Crump supporter

There is only a racial narrative. Without race, you wouldn’t even know about this story.

Yes, the race of the boys involved did make this a national story. That doesn't mean that's the reason I, personally, became invested in the story.

The idea that you are trying to “solve” it or that it even needs solving is participating in the racial narrative.

---

That makes zero sense. At the end of the day, someone died. Nobody knows how or why. A manner of death has not officially been released yet. Of course that needs to be solved. Wanting to know for sure how someone died does not mean you are participating in a racial narrative. That is nonsense.

The dude drowned. Period. End of story.

I already agreed I think that will be the case. So, what is your issue then?

I hope this isn't real, for their sake. This is about as poorly written as a Ben Crump post. Full of terrible grammatical errors you would not expect from a legit attorney hired by one of the "boys" accused.

Russ Latino writes for the Magnolia Tribune. On one hand, it's odd that he would go by Russ in his byline and Russell on social media.

But it's also odd that someone would make a parody account based on him. He isn't a high profile person.

Would it be a good idea for the guys who went out with him to get drug tested, if they didn't use cocaine?

If the toxicology report comes back positive they can use that to say everything happened after he left them. There wouldn't be a "how did you know" argument since the speculation is already public.

If he doesn't have any in his system they can still say "look, we were sober so we didn't get him killed by being high".
