The only characteristics and redeeming qualities of this kid is he’s black? Because that’s all the media seems to talk about.

My mom is 82 and she struggles to stay in touch. At 84...all I can think of is dementia or Alzheimer's. I guess we'll see what happens from here.

They allowed the old fart to 'surrender' but if he was an old black man......he would have been in jail the same day!!! The white judicial system was never intended to protect us, so that's why I'm such a huge advocate for Street Justice.

You know your a Republican when…..

That neighborhood is racist and gun ho AF!

Man…the people commenting on this thread are so toxic you should be embarrassed…both sides.

What would you have done!?!? He was 84 and afraid.

Drop this bigot off in East LA and let them handle his MAGA ass

Nice head of hair

He should have been in custody 5 days ago. WTH? 😨

Dude looks like he came straight from a KKK rally.

now hold him this time.

Most likely a firm defender of the rights to buy and have weapons at home.

Looks like your typical GOP fascist racist that Fox News radicalized courtesy of our House Dems doing nothing, ever, to install accuracy regs which they did in UK & banned Hannity from Sky News channel.

And yet not a word on the RACIST attack on a young white women by a large group of Black youth in Chicago. That is the mindset these yung blacks r brougth up with, SICK! Start issuing hand grenades to defend 1s self!

cbschicago Don’t worry Ben Crump , forest Hump’s friend Bubba is on the case

Looks like a typical fox news viewer that probably participated in lynchings as a young man

Free my nigga 😤

Gollum? Dis u?

Guilty

Bots hitting this tweet hard

CBSNewYork Has CBS updated us on the story of the woman who was beaten into critical condition by a wild mob in Chicago?

There are three white people locally that were killed by blacks in the last 3 weeks with no media coverage. The three teens in Florida were three white girls killed by blacks

Should he get house arrest since he’s old? That way tick tokers can do the tick Tok challenge knocking on his door for new content?

Probably nobody ever went to his house on Halloween.

He shot the kid through a glass door. Then opened the door and shot again. Plain and and simple MURDER.

People with one dead eye, shouldnt have guns. That's a slippery slope towards arming the blind.

This is wrong. And the charges won’t stick. You come into my property I will pop one or 12 in you

Prediction: We are going to find out that this man watches a lot of conservative news media.

Very elderly man demonized.

I knew he looked familiar ..

Looks like Grandpa Munster

Buckwheat shoulda learned how to read an address

Fuckin guy thought he was in 1919

Andrew Lester, 84-year-old Kansas City man accused of shooting Ralph Yarl, is in custodyBREAKING: 84-year-old white Missouri man accused of shooting 16-year-old Black teen Ralph Yarl has surrendered to police after being charged with two felonies. Meanwhile, Alec Baldwin sips margaritas on the shores of Palm Beach. Really milking the headlines today. Entire story is coming from the mother who wasn't even there. I'd put money the kid being there to burglarize and was either in act of or scoping it out. And a kid his age without his cell fone, right. Did he drive there? How is he driving with minors in the car at 16 w/o adult?

What we know about the shooting of Ralph YarlA white man in Kansas City, Mo., shot a Black teenager who mistakenly rang the doorbell at the wrong house to pick up his siblings, the teen’s attorneys say. Here's what we know so far. Disturbing that you can shoot someone for just knocking on your door. Why is he still free? We put too much emphasis into whether the shooting was racially motivated or not and too little in stopping idiots from shooting people. Who cares what their colors were? But the shooter remains free and that's the problem.
