This from Ouachita Parish (La.) district attorney Jerry Jones on why they won’t face charges. “I want to emphasize once again that the main reason I’m doing this is that I refuse to ruin the lives of two young men who have spent their adolescence and their teenage years, working and sweating, while we were all home in the air conditioning,” Jones told KNOE-TV in Monroe, La.
I would try to unpack this statement, which is asinine in so many ways, but that is not the point of this column.
