NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — Three protesters were arrested by state troopers Tuesday night after lawmakers failed to pass a resolution honoring the life of 17-year-old Ashanti Posey.
Posey was a student at Hillsboro High School. She was shot to death in her car in April.
Representative Harold Love introduced a resolution Tuesday to honor her life. However, one House member said he couldn’t support the measure.
Metro police said Posey had been involved in the sale of a small amount of marijuana just before her death.
“I did some research and looked up exactly what led to this young lady’s untimely demise and due to the behavior and I will say choices that she was involved in at the time,” Rep. William Lamberth (R-Portland) said. “I cannot in good conscience vote in favor of this.”

ReplyDeleteShe was a busy high school student. Question: Does selling the dope count as one of the jobs?
There is a lot that is wrong with this on a couple of levels. I have to agree with William Lamberth on this
It is for the shits all they want to honor and celebrate are the thugs, hoods and poor life choice piles of shit..
