Only love can conquer hate.
Bye Gramps to jail you go.Babies can't be babies anymore.
Lol "a white man"
Still trying to start a race war huh
I’m just thankful Biden worked it out haha, ridiculous
Going to be real hard convicting Lester when there are no signs of injury after 3 days released from hospital. Shot in arm and head, and no stitches, no scabs, no bandages, no arm cast, head no shaved for surgery. Not one sign of any injury to the kid Ralf. The lawyer is a fraud.
EXCESO DE MUERTOS ASESINADOS CON FENTANILO EN ESPAÑA MANDEN GENTE QUE LO COMPRUEBE.
The news calls the alleged, a home owner and shooter. But they neglected to address that he's also a white cracker racist who enjoys shooting unarmed black teens and will more than likely die in prison.
🤦♂️ ~ I’m sorry, but I don’t like Ralph’s aunt. She completely dismisses the Neighbors point of you because they were not shot. This goes back to the crazy “my truth“ BS that goes on. We all do not have our own truth, we have our own perspective that might feel so strong that it is truth, but it is a perspective. I have been under stress before or some other heightened emotions and not had my perspective correct.b
You can DO this Ralph!!! Keep fighting. We are ALL behind you!!!
NBC race again mentioned only if it involves white man and black victim but not vice versa or black on Asian or black on black lol…
Shot in the head and survives to witness against the perpetrator…God’s hand is on this young man’s life and I’m here for it!
Halle Berry is looking bad these days. Shot him twice? That kid must have been trying to break in. Who's the witness? Poor old man. Was probably in fear for his life.
Yes but this mofo is home!! Bail posted i wonder why he got an opportunity to post bail 🤔 for shooting someone twice!!!!!
They came out and made a statement saying the system works and they were "always" working to get justice. Right. Thats why you didn't formerly charge him until protests started and your office was inundated with calls.
And also why he wasn't charged with attempted murder.
And why in the first press conference excuses were made about not charging him until a statement was made by the victim. In what world was that ever a thing?
Don’t go knock on someone house.
Ok so he was illegally shot by homeowner. They didn’t pursue racial charges because they’re weren’t any. Where is the “racial component”, oh that’s right it’s at the media office. 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
I always suspect massive lying and false claims when the media goes "white supremacy" on anything. When they only question one side. Only tell one side. They are proven liars just like 7 years of Russia! Russia! Russia! He was out past 10;30 same as the Chicago rioters…same age, same ethnicity….no wonder the old man was scared enough to shoot. He saw the news and the black teen riots on tv JUST THIS WEEK !!!!! First his mother should be arrested for child endangerment. We have seen what "black teens" do at night without parental supervision on the news in Chicago…Ralph Yarl went to a house where he DID NOT belong and antagonized an 84yo man who was sleeping. Parents like his are why Chicago has riots and people don't want teens out in the dark at their houses. I feel the need to point out the blackness of the rioters since the NBC reporter and the lawyer felt the need to point our race no less than 40 times to make sure you understood somehow the skin color mattered and not that someone was sleeping at home and someone went looking for trouble and found it. Wish this old man had a bigger gun or better aim.
well it lest it wasn't a cop this time so something might actually happen.
like this old man, I've watched thousands of examples of black violence since 2016. Each and every minute of the day, these examples can be viewed right here on youtube. But if one armed old man responds in kind, having been convinced through repeated examples by blacks and the media that blacks are violent and dangerous, everyone loses their minds. I, however, am white. My kind are crucified daily in the same way; regardless of whether we're actually racist, sexist, homophob, or any host of new and nonsensical terms the left comes up with for no better reason than to get yet another unfair and unconstitutional advantage over us. As such, we are passed up for jobs, college, and most every other special interst program for this very reason, further by the millions each and every day; yet, black violence continues, further increases exponentially. And now, my only hope is that I die in my sleep. For there's simply no way I would want to be in a hospital, further at the mercy of the most unqualified, further violent and racist incompitants that have ever filled out a job application.
Goodness …
07:19 ALERTA ESPAÑA BAAL CHEMTRAILS HAY.
Jesus Christ called people everywhere to repent, so if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe with all your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved and inherit the kingdom of heaven and eternal life. To this, people would accept Jesus Christ in life in their hearts and told other people how Good he is, how he saves, heals and frees and gives eternal life for freе
This is a horrible situation but the way Black people are taught to hate not only white people but there are so many attacks by young black men on elderly white men, (you can see a lot of those videos on YouTube)I can see why the man felt fearful. However, he should have refrained from answering the door if he was that fearful.
Hope the young man will be alright. This is tragic on so many levels. The media enjoys creating this hate too. They hype up any cases of a white man shooting a black man but if it reversed, the story gets buried. Everybody has that figured out but the media continues the game because they want their paycheck. The media has made one side hate the other while the other side fears the other.
Wait hate crime is a short sentence? Figures.
He looks like such a sweet boy. I'm sure he wasn't trying to break into the house or anything because sweet boys don't do that.
Thank GOD he is alive
"An 85 year old white man has just been charged in the shooting of a black teenager…"
Obviously the man should be charged, but sadly I'm convinced if the 85 year old man were black and the teenager were white, the quote would have been "An 85 year old man has just been charged in the shooting of a teenager…" This from noting that the race of a black assailant is rarely if ever mentioned in a news story.
He could have been a Jehovah witness. What was he thinking?
Why don't you show the Ring camera video of the kid with a gun in his hand? 🤔
This burns my fkn blood
Who is telling the story that all these people know so well? Like they were there.
I think it was an honest mistake by mr. Lester you never know these days kids are crazy the boy may have been trying to break in I don't think the man should be prosecuted I hope I'm on the jury will be not guilty
This is america the kid bloodied and needing help and treated like criminal.
You are not the anchor of America
There were 3 white children killed for the some reason and your NBC news is not reporting this. Quit reporting hate you should be charged for not responding to this . THEY WERE KILLED not in the hospital killed.
For the mother of the child he did something wrong.
This is a tragic story. On a side note, the reporting is sloppy. How can the victim have a “…younger twin brother…”?
Where is your concern for the white woman beaten by a black mob in Chicago? Nowhere. Black on white crime is ignored by national media.
Once the media starts caring about the rampant black on white crime I'll start caring.
