On February 28, police arrested Dralin Carswell on DUI expenses following a high-speed police chase.
17-year-old Alana “Honey Boo Boo” Thompson was a passenger within the automotive. She remained unhurt regardless of the damaging approach that police used to carry her 21-year-old boyfriend’s car to a cease.
Now, Alana is loudly and proudly defending Dralin towards critics.
Even Lauryn, who’s each her sister and her authorized guardian, is Staff Dralin within the wake of this arrest.
If you take your girlfriend on a excessive velocity police chase that ends in a sudden, scary cease and your arrest, there are a few main outcomes. Assuming that everybody makes it out alive, that’s.
The primary consequence is that she dumps you, presumably earlier than you make bail. And the second consequence is that she rushes to your protection to anybody who will hear.
Alana has chosen door quantity two. And at the same time as followers bombard him and her with criticism, she’s doubling down.
On TikTok Stay, Alana and Lauryn tried to defend Dralin’s habits.
“These cops have been so f–king crooked!” Alana shouted at her digicam.
That’s not troublesome to consider. However is she suggesting that they really framed Dralin for his alleged crimes? Or just that that they had unscrupulous motives for pulling him over within the first place?
What’s fascinating is that the arrest apparently impacted individuals who weren’t even there on the time. Folks like Lauryn’s husband, Josh Efird.
He arrived to choose up Alana, who is barely 17 and definitely wanted a experience residence. (Reportedly, she went residence from the jailhouse although nobody arrested her)
In keeping with Alana, Josh advised the police “F–okay you, f–okay your badge,” and a “F–okay all the things, I don’t give a f–okay” for good measure.
In keeping with these sisters, police slapped a pair of cuffs onto Josh. Nevertheless, they didn’t arrest him.
Lauryn and Alana weren’t precisely placing ahead an ultra-coherent assertion to clarify issues.
One can solely assume that Josh was offended as a result of the police chase had endangered Alana’s security. The approach that that they had used to cease the automotive was significantly hazardous. There could also be extra to his anger.
We now know a little bit extra in regards to the arrest itself than we did once we first reported on this.
Apparently, a police officer determined to run Dralin’s plates — seemingly at random — and found excellent warrants towards the car’s proprietor.
Formally, we do not know what standards police used to run that specific set of plates. After all, given the entrenched racism within the establishment of policing, plenty of followers have questioned if Alana suspects that racial profiling was in play. Infamously, mixed-race {couples} in automobiles discover themselves targets of this apply.
Nevertheless, others took to the feedback of Alana’s TikTok stay to present her hell for defending Dralin.
“[Commenter] speaking about, ‘I’m sorry, I’m now not a fan.’ Child, I don’t care. I don’t care,” Alana declared.
She added: “On the finish of the day, I’ll nonetheless have essentially the most watched TV present on WeTV, so I don’t give a f–okay.”
Whereas we’re undecided that it was the strongest argument, Alana famous that a few of her critics seemingly assist people who find themselves “method worse” than Dralin.
“All this fuss that people be doing on TikTok and s–t and y’all nonetheless be supporting the f–okay out of them,” she remarked. “They do method worse s–t than what Dralin did!”
Lauryn chimed in: “I’m attempting to inform y’all. Y’all out right here supporting individuals who beat ladies … And y’all fearful about Dralin operating from the goddamn police. Be for actual!”
“Child, on the finish of the day, I’m nonetheless gonna make my cash,” Alana taunted after noting that Dralin had not achieved any methamphetamines. That’s fairly particular.
“Y’all mad as a result of y’all broke and bum asses sitting on y’all’s sofa proper now fearful what the f–okay Honey Boo Boo acquired occurring,” she claimed. “When it’s essential be fearful about find out how to make some cash!”
She and Lauryn then continued to make up colourful life-style selections for his or her critics — an ever-growing variety of child daddies, use of methamphetamines, and Waffle Home employment. Fascinating PR technique.
Alana then determined to boast that she has been “well-known since she ‘come out the womb.”
She added: “Since I used to be six. Inform me how previous I’m now, child.”
Alana then jabbed: “Y’all gained’t by no means have the ability to make it like me.” You realize what? That’s true.
