I don’t know if Ronald Gasser is racist or not.
What I do know is just because you live around black people or have a black friends doesn’t mean you are immune to being a racist.
She needs a better defense for her son than that.
Speaking from her home in Metairie, Mary Short told DailyMail.com that Gasser was not the person he was being made out to be.
She said: ‘He was a good son to his dad. He’s a good person. I’m praying that this all just goes away. I’m praying for Ronnie, that’s what we call him, and I’m praying for Joe.’
Short revealed that Gasser lived with his father for years until she moved in with him.
She said that Gasser and his father, an insurance agent, were ‘very close’ and looked after him in his old age.
Short, 73, said that Gasser’s father was ‘wonderful’ and ‘the love of my life’.
Short said: ‘Ronnie has a good heart. I’ve never seen him be violent or anything like that. I don’t think this is about race. I’ve lived around black people all of my life and I don’t think like that and neither does Ronnie’.
Racist or not, Gasser is a killer who shot a man 3 times and yelled over his dead body.
He needs to be in jail.
