quote:

No charges are expected to be filed against a Hineston man who used racial slurs on Snapchat after he hit and killed a Leesville man in late May.

...

It said the investigation found that Martin, 18, was driving his 2003 Chevrolet pickup truck at the posted speed limit, 55 mph, and had slowed down as he approached the spot where Lewis and another pedestrian were removing wooden debris from the road to the median of the four-lane highway.

The release also states that Martin switched lanes from the right to the left. Lewis walked into the right lane, but "he altered his direction of travel and began walking back towards the grass median.

"This action placed him in the direct path of the 2003 Chevrolet pickup," it reads.

...

It was what Martin did after the crash that caused outrage on social media. He used a racial slur to refer to Lewis and seemed more concerned about the damage to his truck than what happened to Lewis, who died on his birthday.

Shitty thing to do but using a racial slur isn't a crime. The dude will have to answer for it one way or another though.

Answer for what? Seems like an accidental death.

It’s not illegal for him to be racist as shite or not care about the dead guy. Or a dumbass who films it.

Town Talk link to original story

quote:

On Wednesday, several people expressed outrage after screenshots of social media posts, allegedly made by the driver after the crash, were shared. The posts refer to Lewis as "some n-----" and express much more concern about damage to the vehicle than the fatality.

It seems like the driver is guilty of being an absolutely terrible person, but police can't arrest him for that. The messages to his friend after a man had just died though...

Answer for being a shite bag after killing a man accidentally. There are some things you just don't say after plowing over a man with your truck on accident .

well... considering there's a photo credit on it...

they went around asking family and friends for a pic of him to use with the story and that was the 1 that they received

looks like 1 of his friends supplied the Town Talk with that pic

Answer to whom? Sure, he’s a piece of shite, but that’s not illegal.

Typical LA. They wonder why the world views us as a backwater racist state.

My family told me about this case.

The guy is an absolute POS. How do you kill someone, and then joke about it with friends after. With how careless he sounded, it would not surprise me if he actually did it on purpose. But claimed to the police it was accidental. But, regardless, you can't convict someone of a crime just because they are an a-hole POS.

He's a racist, white trash teenager in Hineston Louisiana, I don't think we have to worry about him going on to live a rich, fulfilled life
