He had turned himself in, but he might go camping with Brian Laundrie now

Complain about critical race theory at your local school board meeting and the FBI sends a swat team to your home and shoots your dog.

Good to see that journalism exists somewhere. A lot of details here, a lot of photos, a lot of people quoted. Too bad that the American media doesn’t do this anymore.

So Trump Supporters get thrown in solitary confinement for attending January 6 demonstration (yes, for merely attending, and not even entering the cRapital bldg.) I watched the interview on OANN-Tipping Point after a Trump appointed judge ordered his release.

So conservatives get the Roger Stone treatment and this hoodlum gets released on 75k bail?

No doubt about it, this country has become a nation ruled by political communists.

So many questions. .45? He shot the kid 7 or 8 times with a .45 and the kid is still alive?? And what is an 18 year old doing in a class with a 15 year old? Is it that the 15 yo is gifted or the 18 yo is ahem 'challenged'? The other question on how he got a gun into the school was answered. No metal detectors at that school.

I thought all blacks were oppressed, suppressed, and prevented from having anything because of whitey! Seems that this kid certainly had an abundance of 'things'. Living with granny though...keeping up stereotypical appearances.

I am not picking any sides here, but there has got to be more to this story.

I agree. When you assault a teacher in Texas, it's a whole different ball game.

PENAL CODE TITLE 5. OFFENSES AGAINST THE PERSON CHAPTER 22.

ASSAULTIVE OFFENSES

(b) An offense under Subsection (a)(1) is a Class A misdemeanor, except that the offense is a felony of the third degree if the offense is committed against:

(1) a person the actor knows is a public servant while the public servant is lawfully discharging an official duty, or in retaliation or on account of an exercise of official power or performance of an official duty as a public servant;

And, since he used a gun and shot the teacher, that assault becomes aggravated.

IDK, but an 18 year old beaten up by a 15 year old? Wonder if there was an embarrassment factor?

Regardless which side you’re on other kids will see this and say, “Hey, I think I’ll shoot that bully who’s been picking on me. They’ll just let me off after someone pays my bond.”

Timothy was the bully, beating the snot out of the other kid before shooting up the school.

but hundreds of people were arrested for waving a flag and yelling inside the capitol building, and were thrown into solitary confinement and are still there to this day-

Looks to me that Timothy is the beater, not the beatee in this video.

Looking at the video, the kid shot multiple times looked like he deserved it. I realize it is may not be the whole story, but it is really damaging to the guy shot.

The person doing the beating WAS the shooter. The person taking the beating is the teacher who was later shot.

"Black Privilege or Stand your Ground ?"

First of all, the shooter's social media screams "down-low", and if you listen closely to the beatdown video, the attacker said a lot of weird shit, especially at the end. Looks like he got karma'd.

Putting myself in the DA's shoes (LOL), I would approach Pettitt with the incarceration options for Simpkins, and give weight to his input. For all we know Pettitt blessed the release.

I and a few others mentioned yesterday that bullying and racism may fit into the situation and it sure looks like it is; poor kid was bullied, called racist names and he just cracked.

Otherwise he'd still be in jail without bail.

I want to know where his family's money came from.

Compare with the treatment of January 6th protesters. They are still in solitary confinement nine months later, and they didn’t shoot anyone.
