Here’s what became of it: All the justice a gay man can expect in Upstate SC…

““After conducting a thorough investigation and the lack of any forensic evidence to support the allegation of the assault, Dwight Clark Ables has been charged with 1 count of Filing a False Police report. He turned himself in today at the Anderson County Sheriff’s office,” read a press release from the Department’s Public Information Officer Suzanne Griffin.”

You bet the police could find him – if they really took this seriously. If I were the 18 year old I’d bring charges against him for attempted assault. Even if there is no jail time, seeing this man embarrased would
be very satisfying.

Where does he get off acting like that.
Was alcohol involved? If dear old dad had hit this 18 year old on the side of the head with the bat he could have easily killed him
as the result of a cerebral hemmorhage.

There’s obviously no reationship between the father and son. My dad would find himself needing an attorney.

There’s no doorbell at the father’s front door, so the police can’t contact him.

Well, unless the father fled to avoid prosecution, it seems that the apparent inability to make contact with the father would indicate that dear old Dad doesn’t hang out at the local donut shop. Were the deputies to actually make an EFFORT to contact him, I’m sure they’d find him right off the bat (pardon the pun).

My God loves and gives love, hate belongs to the man downstairs, just who do you think he was praying to. Not mine, I can assure you. Hate comes from below. Hate in all it’s ugliest of forms, These bigoted people should just fade away…..maybe after the election – can we hope? I’ve heard enough from these “family values” people – God help us.

This type of behavior does not surprise me. Aside from the young man’s father’s reaction, I find it deplorable that the deputies investigating, “…have not been able to make contact with the father.” I can imagine that they haven’t put much effort into it.
