    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.

    Boy, this guy must really have a grudge against DQ. I suppose that must have black/latino/gay/trans employees or something. That’s enough to send most MAGAts over the ledge these days.

      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

        I don’t know. If the kids had eaten those pills, they would have been fucked up or dead. Either way, authorities would have gotten involved. I suspect that this was his plan from the beginning.

        Edit: Wait, is MDMA a date rape drug? I assumed he was staging this to go after DQ. Was he instead trying to drug them to assault them?

            I dunno, cocaine and MDMA are both uppers. I dont know anything about date rape drugs, but having your victim 120% awake doesn’t seem like a great plan.

    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.

    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.

    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.

      The mdma kind of makes me think he was planning on molesting them. He is also a republican, so it tracks.

        Its been decades since I did any X/mdma but I don’t recall it being something that would cause you to not be pissed about something bad happening to you the next day.

          When it comes to children, I’m guessing its easier to manipulate them into thinking it’s their fault because they “liked” it and wanted to keep going, even though it’s the drug. It’s easier to keep kids silent if they think they are part of the guilty party and not the victim.

          The article says children but doesn’t give much more info. I’m imagining an 8 year old and I’m struggling to think of any other reason.

            I agree but in todays world kids get some instruction on abuse. While its possible that his granddaughters have been kept as ignorant as possible. Most kids get some, if very limited instruction on abuse in most schools in the country these day. Its one of the reason why scumbags like trump and his brothers and sisters in abuse hate ‘woke’. They don’t want their victims to be educated about scumbags like them. My daughter received some education on abuse when she was in school. Some very basic things early on with a little more detail as she got older. I of course gave her quite a bit more than the school did. So much so I was called to her school one time to ask why I was giving he so much information on it. I made the reason why very clear to them.

            I was sexually abused as a child. By two people. One was a family member. I was punished by my parents for trying talking about it. It was easier for them to let me be abused than it was for them to do something about it. After all what would everyone think about them if it had came to light. I quizzed my daughter on what she was taught and while very basic and watered down they did instill in her the idea that it was wrong and she should speak up if it occurred. I expanded on it and showed her how these scumbags work. So much so she counseled her dormmates in college when she became a RA.

        Why are you not asking OP that? The title of this post starts with the words republican election chief.

        Edit: look at this troll farm three day old account.

    wow grandparent of the year award. seems like he wanted to play the victim and have a “personal story” about drugs. he should be treated as if his intentions were to sexually molest his granddaughter after getting her high. get him a taste of his own medicine.

    Why would any sane person want to risk damage to their grandchildren just to score some attention and outrage? Oh, republican… right…
