By the way, we still have absolutely no idea what actually happened. Lester hasn't spoken, nor have the prosecutors. The only story we have gotten is from the civil rights lawyer who the family hired. He is about as reliable as Jussie Smollett.

This may or may not be true. Considering the "news" once aired footage of a gun range in Kentucky and claimed it was fighting in Syria let's just say I'm cautiously skeptical

Per the probable cause statement, no words exchanged. No witnesses. No video.

Teen is conscious and speaking now I believe.

If the teen told the police that, they didn’t believe it. More likely, Lee Merritt is lying out his arse.

I'd be surprised if the teen remembers anything that close, but even still... against the odds. It's about one step away from "This is MAGA country!".

At 85, I don’t think jail scares him.

Not making it to the can when he has to piss scares him.


If he goes behind bars, he’ll be Rebadow from Oz.

Doesn't look good for the old man.

Tough call. Do you mortgage your family home to get a competent capital case attorney? Leave your wife with crippling debt? He’s not getting a plea deal.

85? Damn all the activists going crazy over this one. figured it was some white dude in his 40s.

This guy prob didnt know wtf was going. On the other hand, he is old enough to have been against integration. So he could just be an old school racist.

Seems trustworthy.

I read the article and there may be some Dementia involved,


I wondered about this as soon as I heard the guy's age. Not a lot of 85 year old guys all there, much less able to live on their own...

I can't believe that. Remember Trayvon Martin? News edited the 911 call so that the guy would look like an irredeemable racist and so that more outrage could be generated.

I'm not saying what you said is wrong, or right. Just that I don't trust the news in these situations.

Also, remember Michael brown? News told us that Michael brown had his hands up, with his back facing the cop, begging the cop not to kill him..and the evil cop shot him in the back multiple times.

I hate to hear that. Old man made a bad decision and they will crucify him to placate the blacks.
