This is a wild story, dude flag down an officer at the gas station, told him he thought somebody drugged his grandkids ice cream. Didn't realize there was surveillance.

    100% he was gonna claim it was a (((Democrat))) or a (((liberal))). Those that know know.

    Best not to use white supremacy symbols and signals though

    The whole point is that it's likely about white supremacy. And that people should be aware of it and it's language. For those that don't know.

    I definitely agree that educating people about these symbols is important and positive, but just... using them... is not a good method?

    "Those that know know" ??? directly contradicts your stated intention

    The intention was to instigate discussion. Which it did. Otherwise it would have been just another link that someone might have skimmed over.

    Using it would have been treating it as a secret code that it is and not highlighting it. By highlighting it Etc the only way it was being used was as an example for people to inform themselves and learn from. Used to see that sort of bullshit all the time over on Reddit. Thankfully Lemmy is a better space.

    Same, today I learned.

    I'm glad that I don't need to do mental gymnastics to not hate a certain group of people.

    Wish I could transfer that state of universal acceptance to others, where you just let people exist in peace

    Like just walk up to some bigot or transphobe, touch their shoulders and be like: "You see that person?" And they go: "What of it?"

    the drugs in the ice cream are about white supremecy?

    I missed something somewhere - can you elaborate on this? they're all fucking nutso but I'm trying to parse what flavor of nutso this is

    I just have to wonder "why"? What's the end goal. Risk your grandchild's safety to sue a Dairy Queen? It doesn't make sense.

    There's no telling what his intentions were here.

    It could have been politically motivated.

    He could have dementia.

    Maybe he was high on cocaine and ecstasy, and wanted to share.

    Not enough details are available right now.

    The fact that he flagged down a cop to tell them about it makes it pretty clear that he wasn't really looking to drug them per se, but rather to cause a legal incident. It may be that he wanted to sue Dairy Queen for profit, or perhaps get someone at the DQ store in trouble, or to blame it on a political group he deems undesirable (immigrant workers, trans people, liberals, etc.). In any event, it's psychopathic.

    Heres an idea, he was gonna drug them for some trump style picture taking but the kids found the drugs, then he was trapped and had to report it (trying to blame it on someone else) and didnt realize he was caught on surveillance putting the drugs there himself.

    An excerpt from his resignation letter:

    ...I remain prayerfully confident that I will be exonerated of all accusations leveled against me.

    "Prayerfully confident"? Really?

    Read the article please! He was trying to make Dairy Queen employees look like they were poisoning kids, not trying to molest the girls. He put pills in their milkshakes and then showed a cop the milkshakes, claiming they came that way. Cops found video of him putting the pills in.

    He's still a bad man who put his grandkids in harm's way, or at best used them in commission of a crime.

    Oh, nice! They found a new contender for the least corrupt and criminal Republican in government in the USA.

    Yeah, crazy he was able to get access to cocaine and mdma though. How could a Election Official with close ties to a political party ever access something so illicit? "They"™️ must have used Jewish brainwashing lasers to make him do it.

    Don't worry, he just wanted to rape her. He is a Republican, after all.

    MDMA

    Sounds like a good time

    cocaine

    Ugh, no thanks

    granddaughter

    Everyone in the comments seems confused today. The guy was going to rape his granddaughters. He hadn’t planned on them discovering the drugs while they ate the ice cream. Had to play concerned grandparent at that point.

    Sounds like he just put whole pills into the ice cream. Can’t imagine thinking someone would eat a pill like that without noticing. Then again, dude is clearly out of his mind so idk.

    Doesn't seem that way to me.

    Why would he really go to the cops instead of lying and saying he did if he wanted to drug them?

    Sounds like he had some beef with the DQ and wanted to make trouble for them.

    Yokeley has since been booked on multiple felony counts, including contaminating food or drink with a controlled substance, possession of Schedule I narcotics, and child abuse.

    He posted a $100,000 secured bond after his arrest and transport to the New Hanover County Detention Center, per the report.

    Jesus, dude's not even locked up right now
