56. Where's the party? It looks like he's surrounded by his loved ones
Fri Oct 8, 2021, 01:44 PM
Oct 2021

Who are giving him support. This headline and article is trash. But it’s the Daily Mail so I guess I should know better than to expect real journalism.
Has nothing to do with this young man’s guilt or not.
Maybe it’s shocking to see that black families show love? They must be partying. They could not possibly be making sure he is supported and loved.
How did the writer know he got angry? Have they interrogated him? Did the police tell them that?
Trashy journalism, if you can call it that. I think that might be insulting to real journalists.
