I think this is a situation where he doesn't know the facts well or didn't study it and it's his way of punting.

You are upset about this why?


Because it's a waste of federal tax dollars. The boy was drunk and drowned. All the lies have come from his mom and the race baiting POS Crump.

This is how we win. By invading the purview of local and state law enforcement and pandering to people who will never vote for your policies.

Do you support Trump’s pandering to these miscreants?


i don't care, everyone knows what happened to that kid, why did that reporter ask him about it?

would you have been happy if he said "everybody knows blacks can't swim?"

i don't think you would have.

here's the thing boy it's every thing all the time with you people and trump. your phony outrage is tedious

the answer is i don't care, just like i don't care that shia la beouf's wife is divorcing him.

I took an interest in this case early on. The FBI WAS involved in this case. The FBI and the DOJ confirmed that federal officials actively assisted state and local law enforcement during the original investigation.

Not sure what context this Trump quote is missing, or if he's just riffing nonsense.

You’re spot on. The white friends were setting an elaborate trap for young Nolan the likes of which Jordan Peele couldn’t imagine.


And the fellas were smart enough to do it on an island with 1000 other people on it, hidden in plain sight and all!

you think it's ok that those kids face more scrutiny because Trump wants to earn some points with the urban trash?


Too late for that. Crump was just in front of a camera the other day talking more bullshite and yesterday some of the kids filed a defamation lawsuit.

He may have been pandering or he may have had no idea who they were talking about and just threw out whatever he could think of. Who knows.

Why is the FBI getting involved wasn't it ruled an accident?
Ben Crump trying to bilk it for everything he can. Al Sharpton is involved too, if you know what that means.

There are multiple in the pipeline now. New one is the race hustler that altered the audio.

Just read up on this case. Very strange circumstances. A group of students (all white) leave the only black guy on the island and he ends up dead? There’s something missing here.


Yea. Your knowledge of absolutely anything about it apparently.

Send your 20 bucks to Crump.

Is a cover up needed or something?

I thought that stuff was basically over
I am not opposed to the FBI checking into it, but I believe the case is over and the correct conclusion was made.

Nolan was far from the only black dude on the island. A large group of people went there in multiple boats.

The three guys who went with Nolan ended up needing a tow because the boat wasn't starting up and was taking on water. Nolan met a cute girl on the island and decided to catch another boat to come back.

At some point he disappeared in the water. There is no evidence of foul play either in the grand jury investigation the private investigation.

Unfortunately if the feds come to the same conclusion as everyone else it'll just mean Cheeto Hitler is in on the coverup.

Horn Island is owned by The National Parks. Not to mention they can always use “civil rights”.

Yeah...that occurred to me later, and I commented on it.

Without a hint of governmental action, the murder can't have civil rights implications. Maybe you could argue that his parents' "civil rights" were violated by an improper state investigation?

Whatever the case, the FBI is foremost a political actor. That's why we won't see an FBI report anytime soon involving a potential civil rights violation with the killing of Alex Pretti by the government. It's also why you will NEVER see an FBI report on the Wells case, because there's no good political result.
