Why do you say this? Who is reporting this?

Look at the source of the headline...They refuse to say anything bad about a minority person evidently...

Michael Knowles tweeted reply: “Man arrested after President Lincoln stops watching play at Ford’s Theater.”

Excellent analogy.

What ???? I heard he was in stable condition.

Me, too - I think it was on Fox and Friends.

He’s not been confirmed dead. None of the media outlets in the Twin Cities are reporting that news.

The Freeper who posted that he died hasn’t returned to tell us their source.

[metmom]

I saw that.

I have asked to have the post removed.

[metmom]

True, but we all knew.....

[mplsconservative]

I appreciate that. Thank you!

I know how other inmates feel about pedos. I wonder how they feel about someone who would toss a 5 year old to his death.

Don't kid yourself. His racial brethren in prison will all slap him a high-five for killing a white boy.

I hope it happens before too many others read it.

I really need to develop the habit of reading ahead. Maybe I’m too trusting that facts are being stated.

[metmom]

That’s what I’m afraid of.

Still, he has God to stand before some day, and God isn’t going to high five him.

It’s so frustrating to see the miscarriage of justice that has pervaded our country. It’s hard to console ourselves with the thought of his future judgment.

I asked earlier if he had died...The reason was I heard on local news this morning a memorial is being set up...The reporter may have misspoke and was referring to the “Go Fund Me...I don’t know....

[mplsconservative]

I hear you. I’ve done the same thing. I always assume fellow FReepers are well informed and not prone to rumors. Sometimes it’s just not the case. Been there, done that.

[metmom]

Your misunderstanding was completely understandable.

A memorial certainly does imply passing.

The GoFundMe page that the reporter may have been referring to, doesn’t.

[JBW1949]

Yeah...The reporter used the word “memorial”...

There’s a huge pile of stuffed animals people have dropped off at the mall where the poor little guy landed. I think someone must have misspoke on seeing that calling it a memorial.

[JBW1949]

That very well could be...Thanks...

Where is Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton on this...
