Now that we know that she was killed by a black, and possibly that the mother was there buying drugs from the murderer, will they still get that check?

I thought Shaquile O’Neal and Houston Cops were gonna pay her off.

Along with THOUSANDS of $$$ on a GoFundMe.

All because of some evil white man in a red truck. Oh, wait....

I have seen no indication that the mother killed her daughter.

She is in no way Susan Smith.

Was she buying dope? When this story first broke, it was reported that this happened before 7:00am.

I was like, What the what? That was a red flag for me, right there.

Well, it isn’t Jazmine’s fault that her momma is a lying multiple felon.

I barely follow pro football and don't know a thing about DeAndre Hopkins.

Was this more likely a nice gesture about a tragic situation involving an innocent child, or was it a grandstanding statement looking to exploit that same tragic situation to create more racial animosity?

There are other siblings of the murdered girl who could certainly use help, but I wouldn't give a nickel to their current family.

SHe was doing a drug deal and sped off without paying.

The drug dealer was a ‘FB Friend’ of hers, and pursued them and shot up their car..................

“SHe was doing a drug deal and sped off without paying.”

Perhaps, but I don’t think that’s the way such transactions are done. It’s more like a fast food drive-up window. You pay, and then get your food.

Nonetheless, she is no Susan Smith or Andrea Yates, as she did not murder her children.

So, are NFL players going to donate a game check each time a black child is killed in gang crossfire, or a drug deal gone bad? How many black kids are killed each week in Chicago?

So, he’s giving money to a mother who has admitted that she lied about the shooter, eh?

The term “dumb jock” didn’t appear as a result of chance.

LOL. They (the players and the media) are only concerned if a white male does the shooting. They have a narrative they are trying to peddle.

will they still get that check?

Mama will need it to pay her legal fees for drug dealing, lying to the police and maybe a few other felonies committed along the way.

He needs to Background Check them before throwing his money into the ever-growing basket of cash filling up for their recreational drug use.

Bingo.

And the irony is tasty that the killers turned out to NOT be white! No, refunds, suckas.
