Right. You got people jumping at a grabby headline, trying to condemn a kid for something that the police clearly don’t feel is worth condemnation, presumably because they don’t like the basketball uniform he wears.

Investigators know more than we do. Police know more than we do. Nate Oats knows more than we do. The district attorney knows more than we do. We have an article that most won’t even read past the headline before they’ve decided he should spend his life behind bars.

Yep, and now you click on the article expecting that he is being charged with a crime. My first instinct upon reading that headline is to click on the article to see if he’s facing charges, too. They give you half of the story so you’ll click on it because “Alabama F Brandon Miller Not Facing Charges for Providing Murder Weapon” is something you read once then keep scrolling.

Click bait title aside.

This isn’t new information for those close to the situation.

The text message asking for the gun didn’t express any intent to commit murder.

Tuscaloosa PD has already said there’s nothing to charge him with.

Nate Oats said he didn’t think he really did anything wrong.

This most likely leads to absolutely nothing for Brandon Miller. Just a media black eye for a little while.
