Aside from the obvious questions and concern here…
There is an equal question and concern as to why the Slantagraph or any other local news outlet PURPOSELY did not report this.
I do not believe it is just laziness.
I don’t think they have enough reporters to check arrests.
They’ve got enough reporters to interview Tari immediately after you busted him breaking COVID quarantine and print his ridiculous cover-up about that.
I think stories have to be “the right fit” too.
Good one!
WMBD did have this story last evening and even showed DAT BAR and the mug shoots, but ONLY on the 6 p.m. news. NO OTHERS!
Looked like a motley bunch of THUGS!
It was their lead story at 10:00 pm
What is the status on the video that watchdogs says is out there? do we know motive for going to that bar?
Motive no, we are trying to get the video. Prosecutors may want to hold it for now.
So these 5 guys went into a bar by there workplace and jumped 3 guys….. and we have no idea why? hmmmm so it was either:
a) after work drink, and someone got lippy after a few drinks (it is Lexington, and a few were black)
b) someone had a beef with someone there, and went in with intent
c) something else I haven’t considered
Lexington isn’t by Pontiac!
Its 20 minutes down 55 towards Bloomington? Not crazy to think they would go there after work
No bars closer?
If they were heading towards Bloomington then it would be the halfway mark…. sometimes you just want cheap beer at the small town hole in the wall bar
Look at where they lived
Correct all over, which makes me believe there had to be motive to go there
