That sucks that they didn’t even get to enjoy such good drugs.
At least it wasn’t fluoride. That would be unforgivable.
People aren’t reading the article. He both put the pills in the ice cream and reported them to police. He was trying to implicate Dairy Queen or one of their workers in a crime.
I swear to god Republicans are wasting their talents on politics. They have such amazing imaginations. they should be writers or artists or something. like I highly doubt any of us would think “fuck Dairy Queen, I hate Dairy Queen. I know! i’ll go buy some MDMA and Cocaine and then plant it in their Ice Cream…that’ll show them!”
or Jewish Space Lasers. or Flat Earths. or any of that. Sure DiscWorld exists but wouldn’t you want to watch a movie about Jewish Space Lasers? …oh right Spaceballs.
Ok maybe Republicans aren’t talented they just rip off other peoples ideas.
Ever wonder why they scream “false flag” or “fed” every time some nazi POS makes them look bad by agreeing with them in public?
It’s because they pull shit like this and expect everyone else to as well.
Yep, it’s always projection. They only know how they act so they assume everyone else would act the same way.
It’s wild how they scream and cry about the “10 commandments” but have zero hesitation breaking any and all of those commandments in the most blatant and direct ways imaginable.
“Do not put ecstasy and cocaine in thy granddaughter’s ice cream” must have been on the tablet Moses dropped.
I’m pretty sure this would fall under bear false witness.
Obviously that would cover the lying part, but not the part about giving drugs to children in the first place. Also, my comment was an obvious joke?
The article says that he did both of those things, but it isn’t clear on what happened between those two events. Did he put the pills in and go straight to the cops? Did he give the ice cream to the kids? Were the pills clearly visible or were they buried?
I agree that the most likely explanation is that he was trying to create a story and/or attack DQ and its employees. But it isn’t totally implausible that he might have been trying to drug the kids and pivoted when they found the pills. He has to be an idiot either way, they are both terrible plans.
No, they’re really not both equally dumb plans. In one he got found out because there was video surveillance he didn’t expect. In the other he may have had a double homicide on his hands because he tried to do something untoward with drugs that aren’t stealthy in ice cream and don’t facilitate it, and instead of making up some lie so the girls don’t tell anyone about the failed pill plan, he escalates it straight to the police.
This isn’t a complicated mystery.
So where did he get the drugs?
I didn’t say they were equally stupid. I said one explanation was most likely correct, but thr other wasn’t completely implausible.
Yes, faking an attempted drugging for attention/politics/whatever is less likely to get someone killed. But it’s so a really fucking stupid plan that had to actually be completely premeditated. Just look how well it worked out for him.
The potential child abuse plan is monstrous and risks killing them, but pedophiles do risky and horrible things all the time. And at least the part of the plan that involves showing the cops the drugs can be seen as a bad decision made in the moment by someone panicking and not thinking clearly.
People don’t read anything but the headline before spouting off whatever comes into their head.
I sometimes wish people were required to answer a few questions about the article before they could comment. We’d have fewer comments, but would we be missing anything of value?
Damn. So desperate to be a victim, he made victims of his own grandkids. Piece of trash. The ironic part is he was caught by the surveillance state he no doubt supported till now.
According to Raleigh, North Carolina NBC affiliate WRAL News, on August 8, Yokeley approached a Wilmington police officer and claimed his two juvenile granddaughters had discovered two suspicious pills in ice cream they’d purchased from Dairy Queen on Oleander Drive.
However, surveillance video later revealed that Yokeley himself was seen placing the pills into both of the girls’ treats. The pills reportedly tested positive for MDMA and cocaine, as noted in an arrest warrant. The authorities said they have evidence he slipped drugs into the girls’ ice cream.
This is MAGA/the Republican party in a nutshell. Getting people worked up and freaking out chasing imaginary LGBTQ+/Dem/woke bogeymen while their own members are literally harming children.
Even assuming he wasn’t a fuck faced idiot, what would framing some poor service worker even achieve?
Other than a sadist boner of course
He probably wanted to generate a story about a minority endangering his pure white grandkids, or just a simple scam against the company for a settlement.
I’ll be curious if in 6 months time the whole affair will be ~covered up~/dropped
Trumped, if you would. I think the dictionary explaination of the term will change in the decades to come.
Director position at the CDC just opened up
Share this EVERYWHERE. Especially truth social. Over and over again
The pills reportedly tested positive for MDMA and cocaine
Coke comes in pills now?
Conservatives are pedos. They are one and the same. There is no divide anymore. It’s the party for pedo perverts
Another republican pedophile you say.
Is it Tuesday again alrwady?
Sometimes it feels like it’s Tuesday every day of the week with these folks.
You know how parents get worked up about strangers poisoning Halloween candy? How there have been waves of panics about that? Razor blades in apples, all that? Not a real thing. You know what actually created those fears? An incident — a single incident — of a guy killing his kid in an insurance fraud case in the 1970s.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronald_Clark_O'Bryan
Ronald Clark O’Bryan (October 19, 1944 – March 31, 1984), nicknamed The Candy Man, The Man Who Killed Halloween and The Pixy Stix Killer, was an American man convicted of killing his eight-year-old son Timothy (April 5, 1966 – October 31, 1974) on Halloween 1974 with a potassium cyanide-laced Pixy Stix that was ostensibly collected during a trick or treat outing. O’Bryan poisoned his son in order to claim life insurance money to ease his own financial troubles, as he was $100,000 in debt. O’Bryan also distributed poisoned candy to his daughter and three other children in an attempt to cover up his crime; however, neither his daughter nor the other children ate the poisoned candy. He was convicted of capital murder in June 1975 and sentenced to death. He was executed by lethal injection in March 1984.
Really not enthusiastic about the idea of a “fast food workers must be drugging my kids” panic.
It’s weird how mass rumors spread in the '70s even in the absence of an Internet. I remember one that involved Rod Stewart supposedly swallowing so much sperm that he had to go to the hospital to have his stomach pumped. Stewart even talked about this one on a recent podcast; he was well aware of the rumor and even knew who started it.
I remeber that one. Also, Richard Gere and the hamster, Marilyn Manson and the rib. The satanic panic about D&D and metal played backwards.
I thought the rib was earlier, with Alice Cooper.
You’re probably right, I think the rib one got recycled a few times.
Pedo Party
Reminder that the conservatives in your life are 100% onboard.
Boy, this guy must really have a grudge against DQ. I suppose that must have black/latino/gay/trans employees or something. That’s enough to send most MAGAts over the ledge these days.
I assume he tried to drug his grandaughters, the girls discovered the pills, and then he had to play dumb and come up with a story “Dairy Queen must have put those in there!!”
No, he definitely wanted to use this to stoke the fire in the minds of the “drug problem” locally. The DQ is probably staffed by some minority or other group that he hates, so if the optics show those “evil people putting drugs into innocent little white girls food” to create more hatred. Just pure evil.

I don’t think that’s “definite”.
It also doesn’t really make a ton of sense, as you can easily propagandize and villainize without personally exposing your granddaughters to drugs and risking severe legal troubles, by twisting facts or straight up making shit up “they’re eating the dogs” style.
The paragraphs you quoted don’t really support one theory over another about his motives
I don’t know. If the kids had eaten those pills, they would have been fucked up or dead. Either way, authorities would have gotten involved. I suspect that this was his plan from the beginning.
Edit: Wait, is MDMA a date rape drug? I assumed he was staging this to go after DQ. Was he instead trying to drug them to assault them?
No. Neither is cocaine.
in the same way that alcohol is a date rape drug, any drug that inhibits you can be used to control you
I dunno, cocaine and MDMA are both uppers. I dont know anything about date rape drugs, but having your victim 120% awake doesn’t seem like a great plan.
Welcome to North Carolina. This state is so gerrymandered that we have Virginia Fox.
According to the report, neither child consumed the drugs; the pills were promptly sent to a state laboratory for further confirmation.
thank fuck he was way too stupid to crush it up
They don’t mention the ages, but those kids could have died.
Even still, I cannot imagine the horror of MDMA+Coke comedown through the eyes of a child.
Fucking psycho.
Why does he have coke and ecstasy?
Why don’t you?
Because it’s not the '90s any more.
:(
Because the party of small government tells me what I can and can’t put in my body.
Too broke. I just suck whip-its.
So that’s why we haven’t seen /u/whip-its around here in a while.
Why don’t I?
More importantly, how are they better at finding these drugs than I am?
Imagine being able to get both coke and mdma and then trying to put the coke in pill form.
Imagine it.
He probably just had some ecstasy and that had a little cocaine in it. Also if they just did a Marquis test before sending it off both mdma and cocaine can show as the same color so they would just go with that until they get confirmation from the lab.
Yokeley approached a Wilmington police officer and claimed his two juvenile granddaughters had discovered two suspicious pills in ice cream they’d purchased from Dairy Queen
Sounds like he wasn’t trying to drug them, fortunately I guess. Either way the guy is still off his rocker.
Or, he was trying to drug them and the children found the drugs, so he tried to make them think it wasn’t him.
At the very least, we know he had the drugs, and we know he put them in the ice cream where they could have been consumed by his granddaughters.
Unless he never tried MDMA before I doubt it. There is no way anyone that ever tasted mdma believes you can hide it in ice cream without the child immediately spitting it out
Let’s all take a step back and recognize that this is not a man making thoughtful decisions. He put drugs in ice cream for his granddaughters. His thought process isn’t likely to be anything we can fully comprehend.
Can you imagine being the parents here? “Honey, your dad slipped ecstasy into the girls’ ice cream again. Could we please just go back to the Guatemalan babysitter?”
If the ice-cream had bits in it they might have just not chewed on it enough to recognize a pill or taste …
I don’t believe for a second he did not have the intent of drugging them… most likely had in the back of his mind if they got very ill he’d get them to a hospital and still blame what they ate.
If the ice-cream had bits in it they might have just not chewed on it enough to recognize a pill or taste
So you have also never tasted mdma. Even a tiny crumb will make you gag the second it touches your tongue
Yeah I try to avoid ingesting unhealthy drugs :-D
The incident is bad enough without trying to exaggerate it.
He was trying to frame people.
Inconclusive
Kind of depends on what is sold to someone as ecstasy. If its actual crystalline MDMA then it wouldnt be in a pill. It was probably 2CB which is often sold as ecstasy even though it isnt MDMA. 2CB is generally a large and tasteless chalky pill
It was him. People on Dairy Queen salary don’t slip mdma into kids ice cream
However, surveillance video later revealed that Yokeley himself was seen placing the pills into both of the girls’ treats. The pills reportedly tested positive for MDMA and cocaine, as noted in an arrest warrant. The authorities said they have evidence he slipped drugs into the girls’ ice cream.
Sounds like he wasn’t trying to drug them
How did you come to that conclusion?
They mean he set up the drugs to report and create some kind of spectacle, instead of adding them to drug the grandkids.
Intended to drug the ice cream, didn’t intend to let the grandkids consume the ice cream.
Yeah about that, why not drug his own ice-cream or coffee, he’d be sure he could cause a ruckuss then. Now he planned to drug kids, “hoping” they’d notice it and taking the risk they wouldn’t.
It’s all very fishy.
He has to frame it to SAVE THE CHILDREN or some such.
Intended to drug the ice cream, didn’t intend to let the grandkids consume the ice cream
Um ya, I dont buy that story at all
I certainly wouldn’t trust him either, but fact is, he told the cops about the drugs he planted.
He could’ve just not done that, or drugged ice cream from a tub at home, or told the kids they’re sprinkles or something.
To be its pretty clear that he didn’t intend to directly harm the kids, and was “just” willing to put them into a stressful situation where an accident could have resulted in harm, anyway.
How do you come to this conclusion? Comment below you got it right. He tried to drug them, they found out, he tried to save face. Him approaching the officer first does not indicate his innocence.
Why would he choose those drugs if he was trying to drug them? They’re stimulants.
They’re… drugs. So yes, he (intended) to drug them. Who gives a fuck what the exact composition is?
These illegal stimulants could have harmed and even killed them. He put them in their ice cream, neither they nor their parents were aware and didn’t consent to consuming the pills. Even if he intended to “catch” it, a million different things could have prevented that. He gambled with those girls’ lives to create a fake political enemy. If he had done that to my kids, I would have had to resist retaliating against him, and I’m not even a parent!
I’m asking for his motive. I believe he put the pills in there because he wanted to make a scene about it. Not because he wanted them to ingest them. The article doesn’t state how this was done, did the children ever possess the ice cream while it was contaminated? Or did he take them, plant the drugs, and head for the counter?
Either way he should have the book thrown at him for this and if there’s more information out there and I’m wrong, fine but I just don’t see how speculating that he intended to drug them makes sense given the facts presented in the article.
he allegedly slipped illegal drugs into his granddaughters’ ice cream.
Yokeley himself was seen placing the pills into both of the girls’ treats.
It happened. Unless the reporters received wrong information (which happens), he absolutely committed the crime, which is a felony. So no, he wasn’t just “making a scene”, and his intent doesn’t matter, because again, those drugs could have still ended harming those children.
But I did edit my comment to clarify that he attempted to drug them, or at least there was the risk of that happening accidentally…
@lightnsfw@reddthat.com is making sense here. Throw the book at him and maybe have a psych eval done. Republican, so might as well check his computer for child porn.
That being said, spiking a kids ice cream with ecstasy pills makes no sense. It tastes awful, they would be hard to chew and an obvious foreign object in ice cream. If the girls didn’t OD, they’d be bouncing off the walls.
I could see someone that doesn’t actually know anything about drugs thinking this is a good way to frame someone. In reality, Drugs Are Really Expensive, as well as MDMA users/dealers generally not being willing to hurt children for nothing.
I read the article. Nothing about those quotes makes it clear that the ice cream was in possession of the girls after he drugged it. He could have given it to them or ordered it for them, making it “theirs”, then taken it back to add the pills and make his scene. If he wanted to drug them why not just let them eat it? And why those drugs that don’t produce any of the typical effects someone would want to drug someone for?
Republican Party is run by sickening pedos.
PedoCons
You read this and the first question is why? Its also the least likely to ever get answered. Settle for the what he did and make sure he can’t do it ever again. Of course in todays world trump will give him a medal.
The mdma kind of makes me think he was planning on molesting them. He is also a republican, so it tracks.
Its been decades since I did any X/mdma but I don’t recall it being something that would cause you to not be pissed about something bad happening to you the next day.
When it comes to children, I’m guessing its easier to manipulate them into thinking it’s their fault because they “liked” it and wanted to keep going, even though it’s the drug. It’s easier to keep kids silent if they think they are part of the guilty party and not the victim.
The article says children but doesn’t give much more info. I’m imagining an 8 year old and I’m struggling to think of any other reason.
I agree but in todays world kids get some instruction on abuse. While its possible that his granddaughters have been kept as ignorant as possible. Most kids get some, if very limited instruction on abuse in most schools in the country these day. Its one of the reason why scumbags like trump and his brothers and sisters in abuse hate ‘woke’. They don’t want their victims to be educated about scumbags like them. My daughter received some education on abuse when she was in school. Some very basic things early on with a little more detail as she got older. I of course gave her quite a bit more than the school did. So much so I was called to her school one time to ask why I was giving he so much information on it. I made the reason why very clear to them.
I was sexually abused as a child. By two people. One was a family member. I was punished by my parents for trying talking about it. It was easier for them to let me be abused than it was for them to do something about it. After all what would everyone think about them if it had came to light. I quizzed my daughter on what she was taught and while very basic and watered down they did instill in her the idea that it was wrong and she should speak up if it occurred. I expanded on it and showed her how these scumbags work. So much so she counseled her dormmates in college when she became a RA.
