True.

But not by hiring a race baiting pos.

Then again, you are a goose-stepper.

You admire shitbags like him.

What a drama queen. A municipal court judge does not preside over felony trials. The mother has not "testified" being as there has been no charge filed. Why do these people Not get sued more often?

Sure. The criminal investigation isn't even complete. Why not wait until the criminal investigation is complete?

I dont think its odd that he may have drowned off Horn Island. Apparently, there have been many drownings there over the years.

What's odd is no one saw anything.

Of course he is. Every black person involved at this point is looking for attention or money. They don't give a shite about this kid. Or thousands of others who we know die of violence.

Alcohol is going to play a role I'd imagine.

I think the 2 most likely scenarios are

1. He left initial friend group and everyone else thought he was with another group and nobody verified (and his phone was with the initial friend group) and he got left, then did something stupid (again, alcohol) instead of just waiting there for a night.

2. He got caught in a rip and was pulled out and nobody saw. It's a lot more likely than people think, especially if his primary group had left. I think this is more likely.

A white man will betray another white man to help a negro. A negro will NEVER betray another negro to help a white man under any circumstances.

Yes. He got some reparations there from the HOA.

would explain a lot. His swimming ability is meaningless in a rip current and his body was not found the first day, suggesting he was pulled out to open water before eventually drifting back in.

Guess my previous post was too strong..LOL

But if you want the truth you don't hire people like Crump. Or let Sharpton in. You hire/seek competent people, who will work for you, not their self interest. So if you are bringing in these clowns, you are a POS. Just like them.

I did some napkin math and that scenario is 1,200,234,194 times more likely than a ritualistic murder in front of hundreds

I haven't done a lot of reading on this story. But I have a few questions.

-Drowning was indeed the cause of death? No other injuries?
-The mother said the phone made it back to mainland. So was it definitively on the boat when the 1st group came back? Did any of the friends find it that night or next day?
-Supposedly he was interested in one of the girls so he wanted to stay behind.

Officials have said that the cause of death was drowning with no outward appearance of foul play, but autopsy results are still pending.
The phone was discovered on the boat and brought to a house party where Wells was supposed to be. He never showed. That’s where I believe the family friend went to collect it from the friends.
The girl didn’t know the specifics around how he was getting back. Assumed it was with friends.

Benjamin Crump has a remarkable track record for showing up wherever "racism" still exists.

This. So called "strong swimmers" drown in rip currents because they panic. You cannot swim against one and return to the beach. You have to ride it out, calmly swim to the side instead of directly into it, conserve energy, and then come back to shore.
