Lewis Hamilton demands “justice” for teenager Ralph Yarl who was shot

Yarl, aged♒ 16, was shot when he mistakenly rang the wrong doorbell when collecting his younger siblings.
Andrew Lester, 84, has been ꦦcharged with first-degree assault and armed criminal action, prosecutors saꦿid.

Yarl survived the shooting. Prosecutors said there was a "racial component" to i💯t.
President Joe Biden phoned his family to speak with them after th♎e shooting, his family say.
Mercedes F1 driver Hamilt✃on has now added his voice to the growing protests after the teenager was🐬 shot.
"Ralph Yarl is just a kid and was shot for making a simple mistake," Hamilton wrote. "Thank God he's a💞live, there needs to be justice!"
Hamilton’s social activism is a key part of his character and he has regu🐼larly supported causes close to his heart.
He famously took a knee on the F1 grid wearing a t-shirt which read: “Arrest the cops who killed Breon🃏na Taylor.”
This seasoꦿn a new FIA rule was introduced which stated that drivers cannot make “personal, religious and political statements” without written permission.
Hamilton was among the drivers who criti😼cised the new rule.
It was later clarified by the FIA that drivers could use their𝐆 own social media platforms however they wish - meaning Hamilton’s support🌠 of Yarl is not breaking any rule.
