Poison the Well
Sinclair Media can always find a new low, as they did with the investigative reporter into the house in which a former cop murdered a man.
Here are some facts you might not remember about the murder of Andre Hill, which occurred last December at the hands of former Columbus police officer Adam Coy:
Coy, who had a history of violent misconduct on the job, fatally shot Hill four times within 30 seconds of arriving on the scene of a non-emergency call.
The cops frantically searched the garage for 10 minutes looking for a non-existent weapon to justify the shooting as Coy bled to death on the garage floor. What Coy thought was a weapon was actually Hill’s phone.
Coy was arrested and charged with murder. The shooting was so egregious that the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge #9, one of the most powerful cop locals in the country, which has made no qualms of defending murderers and criminals within their ranks, refused to protect him.
The city of Columbus has agreed to a $10 million settlement—paid out of the general fund—with Hill’s family.
Coy is scheduled for trial in March 2022. His request for a change of venue was denied in August while the ostensible lifetime public servant couldn’t be bothered to wear his mask properly over his mouth and nose.
Yes, it’s surreal to see a dipshit cop on the fast track to justice in Central Ohio. But there is still a corporate media entity willing to investigate whether Andre Hill had his shooting coming on account of police being called the house “numerous times” before he was shot in his garage while delivering Christmas money to a friend.
Sinclair Media, a notorious right-wing propaganda network masquerading as a legitimate news source, owns both FOX28 and ABC6 in Columbus, which is why both stations advertised ABC6’s “explosive" investigation into the house in which Hill lost his life because the CDP sent a stooge armed with a gun to a non-emergency call.
Sinclair bought ads during Ohio State and Browns games. The ad buy makes sense when you realize that sports fans are usually targeted by alcohol, weight-loss and boner pill companies. That is to say, they don’t see us as physically fit intellectuals.
Here is what ABC6 found during its month-long investigation:
ABC6 On Your Side Investigates obtained 911 calls and Columbus police body camera video for 1062 Oberlin Drive dating back to the fall of 2019.
That September, an officer’s knock breaks the night silence.
There was no answer and the calls to the police didn’t stop.
Instead, the calls became more frequent and volatile in 2020.
Are any arrests mentioned? No. Are any convictions mentioned? Also no. But this won’t stop intrepid reporter Tara Morgan talking about this to insinuate that Hill had it coming.
Remember that woman from the body camera video of Hill’s shooting that screamed at the cops that Hill had only come to the house to give her Christmas money? It turns out that she deserved that lifetime of trauma from seeing her friend bleed to death on a garage floor:
For months, 6 On Your Side Investigates looked for [Dystanie] Lydelle even though several relatives told us she would be hard to find.
We never did find Lydelle.
Police records show she was known for theft, drugs, and prostitution.
Again, notice how there is no mention of any conviction or even an arrest. It’s just “police records” that “show” she was “known for” theft, drugs and prostitution.
It’s despicable stuff, which is to say it’s typical bang-up work from Sinclair Media.
But you have to have passing familiarity with the case to know what an abomination this “investigation” proved to be. And how many people could pass that rudimentary test among the millions of Central Ohioans that saw these ads and the following report over the weekend? A guess of 10% would be charitable.
No, I can only imagine Sinclair’s ultimate goal is to poison the potential jury pool for Coy’s trial in March. After all, you don’t need to convince a jury of your peers to escape a conviction. You only need to convince one soul on that jury.
The ads and the subsequent report served to poison that potential jury pool. To plant the seed that Andre Hill hung around drug-addicted prostitutes and lived in a crack den, so who could possibly blame Officer Coy for being on edge while responding to a report of a black male repeatedly starting and idling his car on private property?
Between ABC6 publishing this racist nonsense and last week’s amplification of random Facebook commenters painting affordable housing as a gateway to crime, it’s clear that the hobgoblin overlords at Sinclair are working overtime to turn us against our neighbors.
They want us looking down the social hierarchy, placing our society ills not on our corporate overlords but on everyday people like you and me. And make no mistake, they’re wining.
THOSE WMDs. The CIA continues to suppress JFK assassination finals, but here’s what we know… The homeless eight-year-old Chess prodigy and other horrific “uplifting” stories… A look at how unions lift workers… The real inflation is corporate profiteering…. The FBI accused him of terrorism, and he couldn’t tie his shoes.
All of this really requires more research before publishing stories like these. Dystanie Lydelle is certainly a prostitute and drug addict with convictions; one can simply 'research her name' on Franklin County Court's site https://www.fcmcclerk.com/case/view
Read the original story, it INCLUDES her mug shot! Literally right IN THE STORY.
Dystanie is white but we need to stop making this about race. It's about the ghetto mindset. The ghetto isn't a place or a race; it's a MINDSET, a way of thinking and of life that keeps people down and produces multigenerational poverty. This mindset, is why blacks in America commit so much crime. It isn't genetic. You don't see, say, Nigerians who have a great culture and value education, committing a bunch of crimes when they immigrate here, do you? No. They have PhD's instead of rap sheets!
Dystanie has a ghetto mindset, but so did Andre. Let's first ask: Why was Andre AT this house at 2am?
Why was he 'dating' a girl who was 22 or half his age? Is that a power imbalance and abusive relationship, even not considering she was a drug addict and prossie?
Dystanie was being abused by TWO scumbags. The former OSU swim coach Bill Wadley (the landlord who used her for sex and gave her drug money, also over twice her age) and of course, Andre Hill.
Hill didn't park in the driveway, knock on front door, and go in. NO. He was on street trying to get her to let him in, then slithered into garage. The neighbor regarded the car engine being turned on/off (to keep Andre warm) as suspicious. Not surprising, since there had been numerous domestic violence and other calls to this address (Wadley beat her up, as did Johns and drug dealers). Again, do some digging on swimswam and other sites that allow open comments; Wadley ended up resigning his post in a major swim organization he chaired because of the scandal (not reported in mainstream press). It would be good to find out exactly WHY she didn't let him in (maybe Wadley was there or a John?)
Let's suppose for a minute Andre was wearing a PRM t-shirt that night (Personal Responsibility Matters) instead of the BLM shirt. Then he might not have previously beat his wife (look up his conviction in Athens County), been a thief (look up his conviction in Franklin County), divorced his wife, and produced an offspring who was a profligate criminal (Karissa Hill, his daughter, a shoplifter and prostitute).
We must keep our black families intact and teach personal responsibility and discipline. The real conspiracy against the underclass is the continuance of the Great Society and welfare State, which allows unfit parents to continue to have children and raise criminals and gangsters. Before the great society, blacks and whites had roughly the same number of children out of wedlock -- and that is only 60 years ago! To fix that requires ending the welfare and placing these children in stable two parent households. Andre himself was likely ALSO not raised in a good home, and that's why he turned out the way he did, sniffing around a hoehouse at 2am in the morning. So stop portraying him as Saint Andre. And don't name an athletic center gymnasium after a thief and wife beater and give the family $10 million in a shakedown settlement.
Adam Coy thought he saw the glint of a gun in Hill's keys. So that's why he was yelling 'gun gun'. Coy did not have what it takes to be a good cop. How do we fix this? Well you gotta reform the union grievance process so we can FIRE bad cops. THAT is how you fix this. But at the same time, you don't convict a police officer of murder in this situation. Or you won't be able to recruit any police. You can't have it both ways. The case was so politically charged the jurors feared for their lives and felt they had to convict for murder. It will ultimately be over-turned since the prosecution violated procedural rules in not sharing that one of their expert witnesses found Coy acted reasonably.
The reporting on this case needs to be more nuanced and assign significant responsibility to a man who was a criminal and abuser.
Remember, Black Lives DO matter. And that's why PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY MATTERS.
But...she is a prostitute. You can find her arrests and mugshots everywhere. She's been arrested multiple times in the last 12 months....latest arrest 4/30/2023.
