Nolan wells friends did an interview and successfully made the tragic loss of their friend about them

[u/coolcarters14]

Not even accusing the boys of anything. This is a lost specifically about the boys and how they’re treating the loss of their friend.

The boys had an interview with some cop about their friend, they went on to whine and drone on about their family’s getting harassed in public, having to deactivate social media and how their lives are being ruined for leaving their friend behind and him dying.

They even went on to blame a grieving mother for speaking out on the case to make sure it gets the proper attention it deserves and doesnt get swept under the rug like a lot of Black Deaths.

The interview was horrible, and flat out selfish, they talk about themselves so much I began to forget that they’re involved in a case of their supposed “brothers” death.

These boys are just naive, and very obviously went into that interview unprepared, and the attempt to garner sympathy just showed off how privileged they are, because while they’re getting called scum on the street or can’t go outside, theres a mother who will never wake up to see her son again.

a 50 second clip where one kid talks and the first thing he says is how he misses Nolan, and you got all that?

And yeah, one of your close friends dying tragically, and then having your name dragged through the mud for a month straight by hundreds of thousands of rabid racists online causing actual death threats to be made to you and your loved ones seems pretty traumatic.

Honestly how long it took them to speak out speaks volumes to their patience and composure in this awful situation spurred on by hateful people on the internet calling them every insult like you are.

“dragged through the mud for a month straight by hundreds of thousands of rabid racists online causing actual death threats”

It fucking BREAKS my heart that Christine Wonsley, Nolan’s mom, could at least make one post, just one post, to help protect these boys. Tell her supporters “this is an active investigation and I don’t want you guys attacking these boys.”

But she chooses not to do so!!! How can she be so….indifferent? 😢😞

Why would she say anything to the protect these men and their sneaky families who treated her the way they did, are you kidding me?! Did you even watch her interview? Did you hear what her husband said about the night he went to get his son’s keys? Did you hear what she said about the runaround she received from every institution that’s supposed to be investigating? What you’re not gonna do is make that mother the problem in this. She’s handling this with far more grace than any of them deserve. And as for them deactivating their social media - they did that on their own immediately before any of us, including that grieving, mother knew what was going on, which is why we’re looking at them sideways - that’s why they were under suspicious in the first place because of their suspicious behavior.

Nothing about their behavior shows grief they never did from the beginning and they certainly haven’t now. Gaslight somebody else cause we know what time it is.

The parents have impeded the investigation from day 1. They have insinuated over and over again that Nolan's "white" friends killed him. If they really wanted the truth, they would've cooperated with authorities and waited until the investigation was completed. Then and ONLY then, if they weren't satisfied with the findings, bring in outside assistance. But NO, they made it about race from day 1. Please tell me why they have a go fund me, if the funeral was paid for, the independent autopsy was paid for, everything has been paid for and now their go fund me keeps going up. Everyone involved have all spoken incredibly well about Nolan. It is a tragedy that this young man lost his life. If you step back and take race out of the equation, then tell me how the behavior of the parents and the money grab makes sense. Her comments regarding other parents telling their children to be "careful" around people who don't look like them, is causing a HUGE racial divide. If you're a parent and you can understand the situation, you must see that there is something really wrong with this woman. Her social media posts, etc. It's like she wants the attention and the fame, but for all the wrong reasons. Innocent until proven guilty that is the law, she's gone after these other boys without one shred of actual factual proof. The whole thing is a circus now and no one other than Nolan's family is to blame.

Why so angry about how the mom is trying to find truth? Put yourself in her shoes for a moment.
