The Conservative Cave

A white youth who was falsely accused of committing a hate crime against his black classmate has been awarded $3.2 million after a Texas jury determined the incident was a hoax fabricated by the classmate's money-grubbing mother and her race-hustling attorney.

The scam unfolded in 2021, when Summer Smith — the mother of then-middle school student SeMarion Humphrey — and her lawyer, Kim T. Cole, accused Humphrey's white classmate, Asher Vann, and his friends of shooting Humphrey with BB guns and forcing him to drink urine during a sleepover at Vann's house in Plano, Texas, the Washington Free Beacon reported.

"Major media outlets, including NBC, CBS, CNN, Business Insider, People magazine, the Daily Mail, and the Dallas Morning News, pounced on the story as Humphrey, his mother Summer Smith, and their attorney Kim Cole, embarked on a media tour where they called Vann 'evil,'" the Free Beacon reported.

"The trio appeared on 'Good Morning America,' where ABC host Linsey Davis promoted a GoFundMe account that raised nearly $120,000 to help pay for Humphrey’s 'therapy and private schooling.'"

"It was scary," Vann said. "These were adults, and I was in middle school at the time. Full-grown adults were rushing my house and causing harm to it. What if I was home and they saw me? They could have ripped me from my home and beaten me. It was very scary."

In October 2025, a jury concluded Smith and Cole "cooked up the scheme to raise their public profiles during the height of the Black Lives Matter movement and to rake in money through GoFundMe," the Free Beacon reported.

"Court records show that Smith put less than $1,000 of the nearly $120,000 GoFundMe windfall toward her son’s schooling," the Free Beacon reported.

"Account statements reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon show the remaining funds were spent on luxuries, including a designer dog, dining and travel, beauty products, liquor, vapes, cell phones, car payments, and rent."

A judge issued the $3.2 million order for damages on Jan. 22, according to the news outlet.

For reference, the racially diverse jury had four black members.

As unsportsmanlike as shooting fish in a 5 gallon bucket:

Did you complain when Biden's gas prices "soared" even higher? Your poutrage obviously is partisan.

Did you complain when chicken and egg prices "soared" due to Biden's FDA carrying out a massive cull?

Did you complain when OhBummer!'s ACA caused insurance rates and patients' "share" of costs to "soar"?

Dems have been yammering but doing almost nothing about "crumbling infrastructure" for 3 or 4 decades. How is Trump somehow to blame for 30 or 40 years of inaction?

I hope my fellow Cavers don’t mind, but this doesn’t have to do with a specific post from DUmbassistan. I just feel the need to vent just a little on this warm Friday because I’m really tired of the Trump/America haters calling the attack on Iran “unprovoked”. The people saying so are either so stupid that I’m surprised that they are able to breathe without instructions OR are simply extremely dishonest.

Let me tell you DUmbassistan lurkers a story…
You have a fairly nice house. You have some fairly nice stuff; however, you realize that you don’t have room for all of your stuff in your house. Since, for whatever reason, you don’t want to get rid of the stuff, you lease/rent a storage unit in town to store the excess stuff. Now one day, you have a friend or family member at your storage unit doing some work when a gang of thugs attack. The gang of thugs destroy your storage unit and all of your belongings inside of it. In addition to that, the gang captures your friend (or family member) and refuses to release them. Granted, they finally release the friend (or family member), but the gang of thugs constantly call for your death and destruction. Then, for the next 47 years, the gang of thugs constantly either attack and kill (or pay someone to attack and kill) your friends and family. The entire time calling for your death and destruction. If you finally grew some testicles and decided to do something about it, would you be doing it “unprovoked”? Or would it depend on the party letter behind your name?
