The Don Lemon Show · BREAKING: Crime Scene Expert Weighs In On Nolan Wells Case! · 18 Jul 2026 podcast

You know, Don, so much has changed since then, but we're always back here. voice-verified

So the real question is, what would have to happen for us to view this as the profound tragedy that it is and not as a cautionary tale? voice-verified

That would take a confidence that this country has never ever given us an inkling that we could ever have in it. voice-verified

Perhaps one day. voice-verified

Well, I mean, if I'm being all the way honest, I think the reaction comes from two places. voice-verified

Number one, there is something reflexive that we do that when a tragedy happens, we try to figure out why it happened. voice-verified

So part of the reaction that you see is just straight up disrespectful to Nolan Wells and his family. voice-verified

Because part of the reaction is casting him as naive for even going on that trip. voice-verified

Because the first thing is, shouldn't have done that. voice-verified

You should have known what was going to happen if you was out there with them people. voice-verified

I don't think that that's fair at all. voice-verified

As a matter of fact, I think that there's something grotesque about that. voice-verified

The man wanted to go and have fun on the island and in any functional society, he should have been able to do that. voice-verified

But another part of it is just from, I mean, fear. voice-verified

This is not the only time that this has happened. voice-verified

Like we don't want to continuously have to go down this road and answer these questions. voice-verified

Carmelo Anthony, if Carmelo Anthony had gone into a tent and it was a bunch of black kids in the tent, would he be in the situation that he's in right now? voice-verified

If the roles were reversed in that situation, how would people have looked at that? voice-verified

When you go back and look at if this would have happened and this would have happened and this would have happened, we can do that anytime that there's a tragedy. voice-verified

But with us, there's an extra thing that you have to ask yourself. voice-verified
