Deep in his Kansas City jail cell, Frederick Demond Scott has got to be a little envious. After threatening to “kill all white people” and making a good start on his boast, the 20-something Scott hasn’t gotten 1/100th of the notoriety heaped on his fellow Kansas Citian, 84-year-old Andrew Lester.
As the world knows, Lester shot a black teenager he thought was an intruder, thank God not fatally. In fact, Ralph Yarl was home recuperating after a few days. Unlike Scott, whose motives were clear to everyone other than the media and the local prosecutor, Lester’s racism was simply assumed. For actual evidence, CNN could do no better than the testimony of Lester’s estranged grandson, the Satan-loving Clint Ludwig. “He’s just a stock white Christian male, older,” Ludwig told CNN’s Don Lemon. “That’s just how they are.” For further proof of grandad’s racism, Ludwig cited Lester’s watching of Fox News.
