A 23-year-old white man whom police call a "person of interest" in the fatal shootings of two black men in Baton Rouge has been released from jail after his arrest on drug charges.

Baton Rouge Police Sgt. Don Coppola, a department spokesman, said Monday that Kenneth Gleason "has not been cleared" and remains a "person of interest" in the investigation of the killings.

I have been following this. Here is a quick time line:

1. Two black males are found shot in separate places two days apart.

2. Both were found to have been shot with the same weapon but no relation can be found between the two men.

3. Police announce they are looking for a white male with a short hair cut possibly wearing a tactical style vest.

4. Police arrest a white male and think the crimes may be racially motivated.

. 5. Suspect is released on 3,500 bond because of pending drug charges, no murder charge.

Look for the local race baiters and the SPLC to run with this.

Kenneth Gleason is shown in an undated booking photo provided by the East Baton Rouge Sheriff's Office. Police believe the slayings of two black men in Baton Rouge were likely racially motivated and said Sunday, Sept. 17, 2017, that they have a person of interest -- Gleason-- in custody. Gleason, was being held on drug charges. Authorities do not yet have enough evidence to charge him with murder, Baton Rouge Sgt. L'Jean McKneely told The Associated Press.

Because if some little addict shoots people it isn’t over drugs, it’s racism.
