HARLESTON, S.C. (AP) -- During a night of vodka, cocaine, marijuana and video games, Joey Meek listened as a childhood buddy confided that he hated blacks so much he was going to kill them at a Charleston church.
Meek said he thought his friend was all talk until a week later, when news broke of a deadly shooting rampage at Emanuel AME church. But instead of calling authorities, Meek talked another friend out of going to police and giving them Dylann Roof's name. And then he lied to the FBI about his conversation with Roof.
For those crimes, Meek, 22, was sentenced Tuesday to more than two years in prison.
Meek told the FBI that he didn't report the conversation or call police even after hearing about the shootings in Charleston because he was on probation for burglary and was worried he would get in more trouble.
He also said he was so scared after hearing about the massacre that he wondered if he needed to get a gun to protect himself from Roof.
I still think it is BS that he going to the slammer. It is obvious the dude is a fuck up, i mean they are doing drugs and playing video games, high as FUCK the other dude tells him he is going to murder
's . What is he to do ? go to the cops immediately even though there are 10 other things he can be arrested for, for that very night?
Obviously that can be twisted into "lying to the cops" since WTF is the dude going to do ? Tell the truth about being a fuck up? I dunno I think this is a shitty ass gray area and this dude going to prison is just all kind of fk'ed up.
But either way
we're all going down with this titanic sooner than later.
