“...McClendon is also the brother of Jermaine Godbolt, an 18-year-old Newberry senior who was shot and killed last month...”

The funeral for Jermaine Godbolt, 18, will be held Saturday, April 6, at the Female Protective Temple on Northwest 39th Avenue in Gainesville at 2 p.m.

Huh?!

What's a "female protective temple," and why would one conduct a funeral for an 18-year-old Black man there?

Regards,

Yep. They could have killed 4-5 innocent people driving like that.

AND in a STOLEN SUV?

That’s weird. You only seem to hear about that on ski slopes and during some sort of criminal activity.

Wow. Looks like nothing there all the way back to 2022.

I thought I had seen something in the last few months - seemed like something I’d expect from around Austin so I didn’t know what was going on with him.

I don’t remember what it was though.

Buh, buh, but....they all had such promise - just beginning their young, fruitful long lives.....

From the article..... Authorities later added two of the teens that were killed in SUV were wearing ankle monitors, while three had active warrants, reports WLBT. Some of the occupants also appeared to be wearing ski masks.

[Not killed in the incident was family of 5 including mom, dad an 5yo a 3yo and a new born passing through intersection just ahead.]

Exactly. Driving like that, committing crimes WHILE ON PAROLE for other crimes.

Sounds like at least three were already working on being career criminals.

“ Apparently the SUV had an all black interior”

With a splash of red…

I would love to see what’s on their phones. You just know they were videoing the entire thing from inside the vehicle. Gotta get that street free for the college football recruiters.

It wasn’t the cop’s pit maneuver that caused their death. It was the stealing of a vehicle and going over 110 mph and then not stopping for the pursuing law enforcement officer.

If not for A, B, & C then D wouldn’t have happened.

Driving to endanger is a violent crime.

Stopping traffic in protest is a violent crime.
