    Meet Rell Lewis. 31 year old Black man who was hit by a pickup truck and killed while being a Good Samaritan for trying to remove dangerous debris from the road. His death was devastating. What the Trump supporter who killed him said on Snapchat is as appalling as it gets...pic.twitter.com/K8Rfb5QZyu

        Matthew Martin, of Hineston, Louisiana, after hitting & killing Rell Lewis w/ his pickup truck, posted on Snapchat that it was just "some nigger." And proceeded to have a casual conversation about the damage hitting the nigger did to his truck.pic.twitter.com/beY9tII2W8

        As for now, as far as we know, no arrests. Police are still investigating.

        Investigating? He's posted & bragged about hitting & causing the death of the young man. What's there to investigate? He should be charged with murder & several other charges for bragging. I hope he gets about 50 yrs in prison.

        Why throw in "what the trump supporter said"? We lost a precious life today don't bring politics into this. The man who hit him is honest to God scum and should go to prison for a long long time. What if he had been a Hillary supporter? How do we know he even supports Trump?

        Is THAT your take away from this story? To focus on the “Trump supporter” part. He probably IS, but why is that your gripe? How about the casualness of murder of a black man in rural south ala 1960’s pre-Civil Rights Era? How about the rampant visible racism emerging post Trump?

        That's not my gripe, if you read what I wrote my gripe is that we lost a life today. Shaun King didn't have to throw in politics, all he had to do was say "racist man killed good samaritan" why he brought up politics in the first place is my gripe because it takes attention 1/2

        Human race may never get it all right—we'll do better & worse. But when POTUS is ugly, race-baiting hater, there is scant chance our better angels will emerge. I weep for backward slide in our humanity. I pray we'll snap back soon. November can't come fast enough.🙏🏾

        Snap back to more quiet bigotry? I am glad these demons are being exposed for their true maliciousnness. Black, Brown and the poor have been suffering systemic racism oppression for decades. SEE:Trayvon Martin, Tamir Rice. Sandra Bland, Chikesia Simmons, Jordan Davis, Philando

        So based on this, who’s to say this wasn’t premeditated- pretty apparent he has no regard for this black life he’s taken... 😡
