Sorry, Nation of Islam, New Black Panthers NAACP chapters, etc., but I say just a stupid killing in the killing of Brandon McClelland, by drunk-driving pickup run-over, by two white friends of his.
Note first that word “friends.”
McClelland had even perjured himself, and done jail time for it, in Shannon Keith Finley’s 2004 murder trial.
Second, anecdotes about which candidate you would have a beer with aside, drinking buddies are generally friends and not just acquaintances.
Third, most the bloviators in this situation have a past history of bloviating.
Fourth, before we go any further with “hate crime” talk, besides the autopsy on McClelland, I want blood-alcohol results (if any were done at the time, which they should have been) on both Finley and Charles Ryan Crostley.
Instead of hate crime, I think drunk-driving crime, or under-the-influence crime, is far more likely.
