KANSAS CITY, Mo. (TND) — Andrew Lester, 84, is accused of shooting 16-year-old Ralph Yarl after the Black teenager appeared at the front door of the older man's Kansas City, Missouri home.
It's a story that has gripped the nation, especially now that similar shootings have occurred, including one involving the killing of a 20-year-old woman in New York who was shot after pulling into a 65-year-old man's driveway. The cases have also reignited the ever-ongoing debate over gun control in the United States.
Now, a member of Lester's family, his grandson, is offering up information on the 84-year-old shooting suspect, telling CNN that his grandfather believed in "crazy" conservative conspiracy theories and often made "racist comments."
I believe he holds racist tendencies and beliefs," Klint Ludwig, 28, said of his grandfather, Lester. "A lot of it was like the QAnon-level conspiracies of election denying and he got really weird about some Fauci dogs... And I would push back on some of that stuff and he couldn’t handle being pushed back on and at a certain point we kind of lost touch and I think it was more his choice than mine."
Ludwig added that Lester often made disparaging comments about Black people, LGBT people and immigrants. Lester was also the owner of a large number of firearms, which he kept in his home, according to Ludwig.
When CNN's Don Lemon asked Ludwig why he thought his grandfather held racist beliefs, the 28-year-old said that Lester was "just a stock American Christian male" and "that’s just how they are."

Let’s scrutinize the motives of some black people.
Wow...these bastards are ginning people up to start killing white, Christian males, thinking they’ll bring justice to America.
What a piece of malevolent garbage that grandson is!
Turns out that the corn-rowed Grandson is also a proud Satanist.

Yuck.
I just watched The Exorcist for the first time. Took me 50 years. So many of the Dems and BLM have the demonic in them.
I think her mother was shot, too.
Kinda looks like a PAntifa
These grifters already got $4,000,000 from go fund me.
Now, their goal is to destroy this man's life.
“The 1st is also a Satanist”.
You mean he is a democrat?
His grandson looks black. Is he? Ayn I missing something?
This first thing I would do is re-write my Will leaving that grandson only my love and affection. I would specifically state that he would get no real or personal property (including cash) since he obviously would not wish to benefit from all that hard work and Christian ethics from racist old grand-dad.
I wonder if that thing figured out his “gender” yet.
Ludwig is a family name most often found among Jews.
A wannabe.
The really scary demonic movie is the one based on a true story

Let me also say that I bear witness to having seen the shadow of a snake crawl up someone’s being. Through a series of events, I am alive by the grace of God alone.
It was the experimentation on beagles
