DailyKenn.com — Noted Democrat Ted Lawson, 63, was fatally shot in Lansing, MI when he refused a boy's demand for a dollar.

Lamar Patrick Kemp, 15, was charged with open murder; a life offense.

Kemp is the same age as Emmett Louis Till when the latter was allegedly murdered by white men in 1955. Till has been honored with a movie, monuments, and memorials as a beacon of racism awareness.

According to lansingcitypulse.com:

During today's arraignment, the prosecution released new details, saying Kemp is seen on a video making a beeline to Lawson, asking for money and Lawson's denial.

During my four-year tenure at a black-majority high school, being harried for money was a common occurrence. The typical demand was, "Let me hold a dollah."

"The teen has a history of violent activity dating back to age 11," the report said.

Theodore “Ted” Lawson was the Ingham County Democratic Party secretary .
