Damn. So desperate to be a victim, he made victims of his own grandkids. Piece of trash. The ironic part is he was caught by the surveillance state he no doubt supported till now.

According to Raleigh, North Carolina NBC affiliate WRAL News, on August 8, Yokeley approached a Wilmington police officer and claimed his two juvenile granddaughters had discovered two suspicious pills in ice cream they’d purchased from Dairy Queen on Oleander Drive.

However, surveillance video later revealed that Yokeley himself was seen placing the pills into both of the girls’ treats. The pills reportedly tested positive for MDMA and cocaine, as noted in an arrest warrant. The authorities said they have evidence he slipped drugs into the girls' ice cream.

    This is MAGA/the Republican party in a nutshell. Getting people worked up and freaking out chasing imaginary LGBTQ+/Dem/woke bogeymen while their own members are literally harming children.

    People aren't reading the article. He both put the pills in the ice cream and reported them to police. He was trying to implicate Dairy Queen or one of their workers in a crime.

    The article says that he did both of those things, but it isn't clear on what happened between those two events. Did he put the pills in and go straight to the cops? Did he give the ice cream to the kids? Were the pills clearly visible or were they buried?

    I agree that the most likely explanation is that he was trying to create a story and/or attack DQ and its employees. But it isn't totally implausible that he might have been trying to drug the kids and pivoted when they found the pills. He has to be an idiot either way, they are both terrible plans.

    I swear to god Republicans are wasting their talents on politics. They have such amazing imaginations. they should be writers or artists or something. like I highly doubt any of us would think "fuck Dairy Queen, I hate Dairy Queen. I know! i'll go buy some MDMA and Cocaine and then plant it in their Ice Cream..that'll show them!"

    or Jewish Space Lasers. or Flat Earths. or any of that. Sure DiscWorld exists but wouldn't you want to watch a movie about Jewish Space Lasers? ....oh right Spaceballs.

    Ok maybe Republicans aren't talented they just rip off other peoples ideas.

    I assume he tried to drug his grandaughters, the girls discovered the pills, and then he had to play dumb and come up with a story "Dairy Queen must have put those in there!!"

    No, he definitely wanted to use this to stoke the fire in the minds of the "drug problem" locally. The DQ is probably staffed by some minority or other group that he hates, so if the optics show those "evil people putting drugs into innocent little white girls food" to create more hatred. Just pure evil.

    I don't think that's "definite".

    It also doesn't really make a ton of sense, as you can easily propagandize and villainize without personally exposing your granddaughters to drugs and risking severe legal troubles, by twisting facts or straight up making shit up "they're eating the dogs" style.

    The paragraphs you quoted don't really support one theory over another about his motives

    Why does he have coke and ecstasy?

    He probably just had some ecstasy and that had a little cocaine in it. Also if they just did a Marquis test before sending it off both mdma and cocaine can show as the same color so they would just go with that until they get confirmation from the lab.

    According to the report, neither child consumed the drugs; the pills were promptly sent to a state laboratory for further confirmation.

    thank fuck he was way too stupid to crush it up

    They don't mention the ages, but those kids could have died.

    Even still, I cannot imagine the horror of MDMA+Coke comedown through the eyes of a child.

    Fucking psycho.

    Sounds like he wasn't trying to drug them, fortunately I guess. Either way the guy is still off his rocker.

    Or, he was trying to drug them and the children found the drugs, so he tried to make them think it wasn't him.

    At the very least, we know he had the drugs, and we know he put them in the ice cream where they could have been consumed by his granddaughters.

    Unless he never tried MDMA before I doubt it. There is no way anyone that ever tasted mdma believes you can hide it in ice cream without the child immediately spitting it out

    You know how parents get worked up about strangers poisoning Halloween candy? How there have been waves of panics about that? Razor blades in apples, all that? Not a real thing. You know what actually created those fears? An incident


    a single incident


    of a guy killing his kid in an insurance fraud case in the 1970s.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronald_Clark_O%27Bryan

    Ronald Clark O'Bryan (October 19, 1944 – March 31, 1984), nicknamed The Candy Man, The Man Who Killed Halloween and The Pixy Stix Killer, was an American man convicted of killing his eight-year-old son Timothy (April 5, 1966 – October 31, 1974) on Halloween 1974 with a potassium cyanide-laced Pixy Stix that was ostensibly collected during a trick or treat outing. O'Bryan poisoned his son in order to claim life insurance money to ease his own financial troubles, as he was $100,000 in debt. O'Bryan also distributed poisoned candy to his daughter and three other children in an attempt to cover up his crime; however, neither his daughter nor the other children ate the poisoned candy. He was convicted of capital murder in June 1975 and sentenced to death. He was executed by lethal injection in March 1984.

    Really not enthusiastic about the idea of a "fast food workers must be drugging my kids" panic.

    Conservatives are pedos. They are one and the same. There is no divide anymore. It’s the party for pedo perverts

    Overlook the creepiness and realize that this man tried to cosby two little girls, in his custody, with ice cream, and failed. So he's pathetic even among other pedophiles.

    MAGAs main characteristic is hatred, but incompetence is a close second. Bonus for every accusation being a confession.

    It's a different kind of scummy going on here; he didn't want his grandkids to actually eat it, he wanted to get media attention and stoke more fear in his base. It would be like someone slipping razors into their own kids candy to rage-bait about Halloween being unsafe.

    To be clear, this isn't any better than the alternative; he put his grandkids in danger for a publicity stunt that could have very easily resulted in them consuming the drugs. Which also raises the question how how he got that cocaine in the first place.

    You read this and the first question is why? Its also the least likely to ever get answered. Settle for the what he did and make sure he can't do it ever again. Of course in todays world trump will give him a medal.
