Suspect’s grandson says Ralph Yarl’s shooting ‘never should have happened’

The grandson of the white octogenarian charged with shooting Ralph Yarl after the black teen rang his doorbell by mistake said the “crazy” encounter “never should have happened.”

Suspect Andrew Lester’s grandson Daniel Ludwig told The Daily Beast that he has often been in the same situation as Yarl, who mistakenly went to the wrong address in Kansas City to pick up his twin brothers.

“I’d go to visit my grandpa, and I would get lost on those streets,” he said. “It’s easy to do. They all look the same and everything.”

The grandson added: “It’s just crazy. I wish it didn’t happen.”

Ludwig also said he believes his grandfather, 84-year-old Lester, felt he was in danger.

This story was all over the news at the gym yesterday. If this was white on white or black or black it would be a nothing burger.

It’s very important (for the left) to keep everyone divided on as many lines (race, gender, income, religion) as possible.

The local commie news network showed 4 pictures simultaneously, the two people involved in this case, plus another where a women drove into the wrong driveway and was shot and killed. The commie newsreader made sure he told us the races in this case, but conveniently omitted them in the other case.

This is to get one race angry at the other, and to start riots/looting/mayhem as in May 2020.

I had a pair of headphones stuck in the closed back door and flapping against and hitting the side of the car, so I pulled into somebody’s driveway to see what was going on. I guess I’m lucky to be here now.

Yes, but these articles are being written to show the dangers of people owning guns, period, not just “assault” weapons. There’s a push to get rid of all guns.

Or he could’ve simply been afraid of someone at his door late at night, particularly since he lives alone. If the young man’s fingerprints aren’t on the door handle, the homeowner hasn’t much of a claim that there was a threat. If fingerprints are there, the teen will have to explain why he lied.

This was a tragedy. But the mass of violence in the black community, and the out-of-control crime, the increase in racial attacks on whites, and home invasions is spreading fear. The kid that got shot seems like a good kid, tragically he’s probably paying the price for the fear being spread by the feral blacks. As our governments refuse to protect us, expect to see more of this. As far as him touching the door, hard to know. The guy who shot him says he was reaching for the door. The guy who got shot in the head and says he didn’t . Who to believe?

Always remember the important rule: wait until the perp steps into the house.

This 16-year-old seems like a great kid. I'm happy he's alive and he has a big GoFundMe coming to him. But, he has bullet fragments in his brain now. He should've never been shot.

With that said, the Left only pays attention when white people do something wrong to black people, and the Right only pays attention when black people do something wrong to white people. On and on it goes. It will never end.

According to Ralph Yarl's aunt, Ralph only lived a "few blocks" away from the Old Man and the house were his brothers were.

Did Ralph get mixed up because of his lack of driving experience?

It is completely possible that 16 year old Ralph Yarl is not licensed to drive, or drive alone, or drive after 9 PM, or transport his minor child brothers in a car.

When is someone in news media or law enforcement going to check if Ralph Yarl has an Unrestricted Driver's License?
