If it was that ACT/SAT score submissions wouldn’t have dropped to 47% for fall of 2024 class (LSU still has not posted that data for fall of 2025) while Tate boasted of increased scores that were really about voluntary compared to mandatory score submission years and then in 2023 had to start using super score as the composite score to compare to prior true composite scores when 2022 average took a dip. After this LSU aggressively promoted a minimum score for applicants to submit that would help with admissions, scholarships, and honors admissions and to not submit anything lower to not hurt their applications which also helped average scores continue to tick up or at least stay the same.
You don’t need to game the system if they were bringing in the best of best like they kept pushing. Alumni focused on sports and Tate not forcing his black coaching hires just kept being fooled. Many on the rant and the OT kept pushing those ACT scores increasing that LSU promoted while failing to actual look for themselves.

Doesn’t matter because they will never publicly fully admit that it was an accident. To me that’s what makes their immediate reaction to this so despicable. As soon as they decided to go down this path there could only be 2 possible outcomes for them: either foul play is confirmed or nothing is confirmed and suspicions will remain. They’ll never admit anything else nor do their supporters want them to. Nothing short of surveillance footage showing the whole thing as an accident would get them to admit it. And we know that doesn’t exist.
But they started a conversation…

The spreadsheet at the below lists current participants as of July 10th including which model they are participating in. If the city is listed and is listed as a Task Force Model either this guy is one, someone else is, and/or another officer or multiple officers will be shortly.

Is the officer correct that he is a member of the ICE Task force? Or is he just spouting off bullcrap because his city joined the 287g program?
I think what people have been saying is that both could be possible and need more information on the officer being authorized both by the department and ICE, and also if truly enforcing something in the memorandum of agreement and following ICE direction to know if in specific detainment he was correctly following memorandum to be authorized. When the head of the police department signs the memorandum it doesn’t automatically place all officers in the Task Force Model program. There is a process of picking, approving, and training which we don’t know about this particular officer without making assumptions.
From the MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT
287(g) Task Force Model
quote:https://www.ice.gov/doclib/about/offices/ero/287g/moaFillableTFM.pdf
…Only participating LEA personnel who are nominated, trained, certified, and authorized, as set out herein, have authority pursuant to this MOA to conduct the delegated immigration officer functions, under ICE direction and supervision, enumerated in this MOA.
… The chief officer of the LEA will nominate candidates for initial training and certification under this MOA. For each candidate, ICE may request any information necessary for a background check and to evaluate a candidate’s suitability to participate in the enforcement of immigration authorities under this MOA. All candidates must be United States citizens. All candidates must have at least two years of LEA work experience. All candidates must be approved by ICE and must be able to qualify for appropriate federal security clearances and access to appropriate DHS and ICE databases/systems and associated applications.
… Upon the LEA’s agreement, participating LEA personnel performing immigration-related duties pursuant to this MOA will be assigned to various units, teams, or task forces designated by ICE...
… ICE will certify in writing the names of those LEA personnel who successfully complete training and pass all required testing. Upon certification, ICE will provide the participating LEA personnel with a signed authorization to perform specified functions of an immigration officer for an initial period of two years from the date of the authorization. ICE will also provide a copy of the authorization to the LEA. The ICE supervisory officer, or designated team leader, will evaluate the activities of all personnel certified under this MOA.
Authorization of participating LEA personnel to act pursuant to this MOA may be revoked at any time and for any reason by ICE or the LEA. Such revocation will require notification to the other party to this MOA within 48 hours. The chief officer of the LEA and ICE will be responsible for notification of the appropriate personnel in their respective agencies. The termination of this MOA, pursuant to Section XVIII below, shall constitute revocation of all immigration enforcement authorizations delegated herein.
… Immigration enforcement activities conducted by participating LEA personnel will be supervised and directed by ICE. Participating LEA personnel are not authorized to perform immigration officer functions except when working under the supervision or direction of ICE.
When operating in the field, participating LEA personnel shall contact an ICE supervisor at the time of exercising the authority in this MOA, or as soon as is practicable thereafter, for guidance...
Let’s assume he was certified and authorized to act. Why wound it be a surprise to anyone if the city already approved this?

She said it hadn’t been 24 hours when she checked.
I don’t know how Snapchat currently works as far variation with auto deletion times, was she looking at private chats, or how she got access to check the app including if that could have forced anything to be deleted like logging in on another device once phone taken as evidence.
It’s making some assumptions that he would have used that specific app in the first place including with a poor signal out there, stored any photos if he did take any, and that the other kids could access the app or phone (might be related to how she gained access like if phone always unlocked).
When claim first made I thought they might have checked text records and noticed some must have been deleted which I still wanted to know how they knew they were not deleted by him or just didn’t fail somehow, but to vilify his friends by accusing them of deleting messages during national interviews based solely on only her hypothetical belief that the absence of pictures in Snapchat is proof that his friends deleted pictures is ridiculous and reckless with the mob they are fueling.

Has the officer(s) been selected and trained to be a Task Force Officer under the Task Force Model in an approved program/agreement by both his department and by the Attorney General’s office?
Could be a yes to the above while his actual authority in the specific detainment would depend on the below:
Was he acting in his limited immigration authority at the time (either during regular duties while identifying an alien and contacting ICE supervisor for next steps or participating with other ICE officers and Task Force officers in a specific task force with a specific goal)?

And none of that addresses the student body. Let's just say that many of them don't stick around beyond a year or two. That's always happened at LSU, but the reasons may be different now.
That’s not as true as in the past. From fall of 2024 to spring of 2025 the black % of undergraduates stayed the same (spring of 2026 still not posted). Each fall both the black freshman % of incoming freshmen and the total black % of undergraduates kept increasing under Tate.
Many are paying very little if anything to be at LSU thru scholarships and grants from various sources with help from Tate maintaining the policy ACT/SATs being voluntary for admissions, scholarships, and honors admissions. To make it look like quality of incoming freshmen was increasing LSU then started promoting record ACT averages which were actually created by the decreasing % of test submissions and then using super score as the composite ACT score while comparing to mandatory test years and true composite years. They even started pushing out what score should be submitted effectively manufacturing an increase in average ACT scores. Fall 2024 freshman class only had 47% submit scores, and LSU still has not posted the fall 2025 freshman submission rates.

Is LSU becoming more ghetto?
With what is basically Tate’s last incoming freshman class It may be getting past a point of a solution without some drastic measures a group of people will get offended by and riot.
LSU still had not posted Common data set for Fall 2025 freshman class which includes the % of the class that submitted ACT or SAT scores, and they still have not updated the enrollment at a glance for this past Spring in 2026 which is at one of the places where you can get breakdown of demographics for undergraduates on campus (doesn’t include online and can remove duel enrollment High Schoolers & Graduate schools).
This upcoming 2026 fall freshman class is still basically Tate’s and his appoints to admissions committee with most offers made before the new administration was in charge or even hired. New guys then went limp at the gate by only requiring ACT/SAT scores below a set GPA for 2027 fall freshman before requiring it for all in 2028, and there is no minimum requirement or significant weight added to scores making it just one of many things the committee makes decisions on.

They're not being accused by the police though. So what are the lawyers doing in this circumstance?
Seriously??
Why did Well’s parents bring in an attorney to stir shite up before investigation has barely started much less finished??
I don’t know the financial situation of any of the kids’ parents, but Crump files lawsuits to coerce settlements. I expected the family to hire an attorney for that as soon as Crump got his race card playing arse involved. Crump has jumped much bigger into this than he did for his shoplifting and using child as a shield client in north Mississippi, so I suspect he sees more potential money and exposure for himself than with that piece shite client in north Mississippi.
Also, case has moved beyond anyone in the family or ilk wanting the truth, and a lawyer can help make sure the kids don’t misinterpret questions, don’t say something off the cuff that can be taken in multiple ways, and stop something that is completely irrelevant to this situation from coming out in questioning that will be used against them later. Attorneys can help make sure the investigation doesn’t target the kids based on bull shite internet opinions and pressures from race baiting assholes.
A group of idiots are stirring up an online lynching of these kids which the parents and Crump have inflamed. If Well’s parents wanted complete and wholehearted cooperation from the other kids they shouldn’t have brought in Crump or Sharpton and definitely not both. The local NAACP chapter has been more rational than the parents, Crump, and their racist supporters. That you even had to ask why the kids or their families hired an attorney shows their ignorance is rubbing off on you.

So is the below is the only rationale for Crump and ilk stating explicitly that his friends deleted text messages?
Is the below the only rationale for Crump and ilk stating there is definitely a video showing Wells in an argument?
Being a good swimmer doesn’t mean much when caught in rip currents or other strong currents. That is even before intoxication in any amount is factored in
As usual black victimhood when a white person can be accused of something pays well:
quote:
Wells' mother, Christine, said her son's phone was with one of his friends who had returned from the island and they went and retrieved it. She believes Snapchat messages were deleted from the phone because there were no photos or videos on the account.
"I know when kids get together for events like that, they's Snapping," Christine Wonsley said. "They are making videos, taking pictures, and I'm just like, 'Where is it?' Because it hadn't been 24 hours when we started looking, which usually, with Snapchat, it goes away once you hit that 24-hour mark."
Is the below the only rationale for Crump and ilk stating there is definitely a video showing Wells in an argument?
quote:
Ledbetter previously told CBS News that investigators were hoping to identify the original poster of a video in which arguing can be heard in the background. Crump said independent investigators are looking into whether a voice heard on the video arguing with someone about taking his cellphone is the voice of Wells.

Some info from one local on dangers of swimming around Horn as well as a “guesstimate” on the number of boats out there that day.
Article on Horn Island before all of this

quote:https://www.wlox.com/2026/07/09/charter-boat-captain-discusses-hazardous-conditions-possible-around-horn-island/
Chris Barlow is very familiar with the waters around Horn Island. He was born and raised in Ocean Springs, and for the past 10 years has been the captain of a charter boat.
Over the years, he has gotten used to potentially hazardous water, but when he goes, he does not drop his guard.
“You might be in three foot of water and swim out a little bit or walk out, and as soon as it drops off, that current will take you. It’s happened to me. It’s happened to friends, and we’re always watching for the kids out there and everything else, but that current can be strong,” Barlow said.
On top of the current and steep drop-off is boat traffic. Boaters riding by the island can send waves all the way to the shore, and in the case of July 4, Barlow recalls an impressive amount of vessels.
“There was boats side by side for a long distance on the North and South side of the island, but there was boats five-ten deep, side-by-side, but guesstimating there was probably somewhere between five and eight hundred boats, and you got to think, every boat is going to have five to ten people on it. So, there could have been 4 to 8 thousand people there- just guessing,” Barlow said.

One of the three young men who traveled by boat to Horn Island with Nolan Xavier Wells on the Fourth of July was the first to report him missing that night, authorities confirmed Thursday.
“At approximately 11 p.m. on July 4, 2026, the Coast Guard was notified of a missing person near Horn Island,” U.S. Coast Guard Petty Officer Cheyenne Basurto said Thursday. “The initial notification did not require Coast Guard assistance.”
Wells’ mother, Christine Wonsley, was the second person to report her son missing. She called the Jackson County Sheriff’s Department about midnight after learning he had not returned home.
Wells, 18, of Ocean Springs, was black. He traveled to the island with three white friends, who returned to shore without him. They told investigators Wells stayed behind to talk with a girl and spend time with other friends.
Jackson County Sheriff John Ledbetter confirmed Thursday that one of the three young men who traveled to the island with Wells made the first missing-person report.

Others are saying that this foursome was actually part of a larger friend group of eleven that were all travelling together in separate boats, lending some clarity on why Nolan felt comfortable staying back and why the others allowed him to do that.
This is what I have thought happened especially with the kids being from the area. I would think a lot have boats in the family that could make it out there especially if conditions are good. Some might take a chance in boats that they should not use for that trip. I am sure it wasn’t the first time that they all went out there or the first time that boats left with different or less people on board than it’s trip out to the island.
If the guys in the one boat went by themselves to fish or whatever (not with a group of other boats or for a party with other friends) or were a group of out of towners going out there for the first time I would understand the questioning of leaving without someone and leaning towards them knowing something or covering up something. To do that with these locals and basically for some the only evidence required to blame them was the kid was black with a group of white boys is just pathetic.

If having an idea of what America should represent or once represented and feeling like it is failing to live up to that idea or standard makes you unpatriotic
It’s never “once” represented with the left unless you are continuing the lie about stuff like trans rights getting pushed by elites and Biden’s Autopen for several years as being long standing rights when conservatives push back.
The “should” represent can definitely be unpatriotic when it goes against long standing American values. If you want to fundamentally change America into something it has never been including becoming more like the 3rd world countries of recent illegals and temporary refugees you are being unpatriotic.
I am not playing that game where questioning the patriotism of someone who dislikes the US and wants to weaken the country is wrong. Michelle Obama’s first time to ever be proud of her country was after her husband was elected which also put her in the spot light and gave her power. She is one of the most unpatriotic people in the country, and her bitch of a husband is right behind her in that ranking (obviously she is behind him in the bedroom). These are not teenagers learning their way in life but are professional politicians who know damn well that they are fighting to vilify America and turn it into a Socialist utopia if not a Communist nation with one party rule.
My view of patriotism is that you love the country, its ideals, and its Constitution independent from the politicians currently running the federal govt. If you can only show pride in the US when one of your ilk is President you aren’t patriotic.

Some were but you are exaggerating the amount. You are also completely wrong on the why being similar.
Not rooting for a player who absolutely hated the country she was representing isn’t the same as pulling for the opponent of the US. Any individual playing for a country that he or she hates is all about themselves and doesn’t deserve the spot on the team or to be respected just because they are on the US team.
Losing interest in the women’s team because that same butch was the mouthpiece for the entire team and focus of the media isn’t the same. I didn’t want them to lose, but I quit paying attention to any World Cup or Olympic soccer events that she played in. Almost everything was about her including celebrations after victories. Best case scenario for me was hoping that she just shat the bed while the US still won in spite of her.
She still hates America and hates it when men are not allowed to play women’s sports.
What have the players on this men’s team done to have either side wishing any one of them were not representing America?
These dolts today are actively pulling for the opposing team but what’s even worse is that they are only against the Team because of Trump. Thats it, and it has nothing to do with any of the players. If the US loses they will find a way to blame Trump for helping to get suspension overturned. It’s all about TDS.

Dem governor + a Dem mayor + broken urban culture = this crap.
NC almost always votes in Dems for their governors even when the state may be in play for Republican Presidential and US Senate candidates. It was one of 10 states (decision by their Governor) that refused to send official state representation for the North Carolina booth in the mall in DC for 250th celebrations. Unlike Pennsylvania where the US Senators from different parties got something set up to make up for the governor NC congressional members could even do that as Tillis might suffer from TDS as much as Dems do. Private organizations/businesses ended up doing something instead for NC’s booth.
