I'm okay with you remaining ignorant. It is funny as hell.

"The shooter rolled down the window [of an SUV] and yelled, ‘What the F are you looking at?’ before unloading a clip into a group full of innocent people,” we were told.

Pretty Clear that Stand Your Ground Laws only applies to White People who Shoot Blacks.

Family says fatal shooting case shows ‘stand your ground’ defense doesn’t work for Black men

William "Marc” Wilson was recently convicted of involuntary manslaughter for a shooting that he says was in self-defense against a racist attack on a Georgia highway, and his family and lawyers say the case reveals a racial double standard for "stand your ground” laws.

"If you put me in Marc’s shoes, there’s no way that I would've been prosecuted,” Wilson’s cousin, Chance Pridgen, who is white, told Yahoo News. "Odds are I would've been given a medal — probably gotten a parade in my name. It’s unreal how he was treated just because he’s a little bit more tan than I am.”

Wilson, a biracial Black man, 21 years old at the time of the shooting on June 14, 2020, fired his legal handgun at a pickup truck of white teens who he says were yelling racial slurs at him and trying to run him and his white girlfriend off the road near Statesboro, Ga. One of those bullets struck and killed 17-year-old Haley Hutcheson, who was in the back seat of the truck.

After an emotional seven-day trial late last month in Bulloch County Superior Court, a jury found Wilson guilty of felony-level involuntary manslaughter. Wilson was acquitted on the other charges, including felony murder, which carried with it a potential life prison sentence. He is set to be sentenced Tuesday.

"We believe that this verdict is a verdict that speaks the truth,” Ogeechee Judicial Circuit District Attorney Daphne Totten said outside the court after the Aug. 31 ruling. "We ask juries every day to return verdicts that speak the truth, and the truth in this case is that what Marc Wilson did that night on the bypass was a crime.”

Prosecutors argued that Wilson did not need to fire his weapon, while the defense contends that he exercised legal self-defense under the state’s "stand your ground” law.

A number of states, including Georgia, have implemented the controversial laws loosening the restrictions on using deadly force when threatened, stating there is no duty to retreat first.

The case against Wilson was closely watched by legal experts and civil rights advocates who have long criticized the use of "stand your ground” laws as racist. Perhaps the most high-profile case was the 2012 shooting of Trayvon Martin, an unarmed Black teen. George Zimmerman, who killed Martin, successfully argued that the use of force was justified under Florida’s self-defense laws.

Studies have found a significant racial disparity in whether homicides are deemed justified based on the race of the shooter and the person shot. A 2020 study by the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights said "white-on-black homicides have justifiable findings 33 percentage points more often than black-on-white homicides,” with "stand your ground” laws exacerbating that disparity.

Charles "Zeke” Goldblum was sentenced to life in prison for killing a man with garden shears in a parking garage in downtown Pittsburgh and later trying to hire a hitman to kill his accomplice in the brutal murder. As lieutenant governor of Pennsylvania, Senate hopeful John Fetterman voted to set Goldblum free in 2019 and said he was "happy” when the killer was released from prison last year.

Goldblum was convicted of first-degree murder in the 1976 killing of George Wilhelm as part of an insurance fraud cover-up. According to prosecutors, Goldblum and an accomplice, Clarence Miller, lured Wilhelm to a parking garage in Pittsburgh, where Goldblum stabbed the man 26 times. While out on bail, Goldblum tried to hire an undercover police officer to murder Miller, who had fingered Goldblum for the crime.

White on black homicides have justifiable findings that are higher because blacks attack whites far more often than the reverse. That’s just the demographic reality of crime.

Reading about this specific case, it seems the fact that Wilson and his girlfriend didn’t report the shooting is probably why he was convicted and sentenced the way it was. They acquitted him of the higher charges like murder. The judge even said he believed it would be an unsolved case if the friend of his girlfriend didn’t report it.

Bottom line, if you’re ever in a self defense situation and discharge a weapon, report it to the police ASAP. 

THE BANK ROBBERY AT GALLENTIN, MO.

The Cashier Shot and Killed.

We learned yesterday that John W. Streets, the cashier of the Davis county Savings Bank, at Galletin, was shot and killed last Monday. The following are the particulars as told to us:

Two men rode up to the banking house and getting off their horses, one of them went in and asked Mr. Sheets to change a one hundred dollar bill. While doing so the other man went in and said: "If you will write out a receipt, I will pay you that bill."

Mr. Sheets sat down to do so, and while he was writing, the man drew a revolver and shot him twice — once in the breast, and once through the head. The unfortunate banker fell from his chair dead.

The ruffians then turned upon Mr. McDonald, the clerk, and fired upon him twice, one of the shots taking effect in the fleshy part of one of his arms. At time of the shooting, one of them said with an oath, that "Sheets and Cox had been the cause of the death of his brother, Bill Anderson, and that he was bound to have revenge."

The two then robbed the bank of all the money in the outside drawer, and mounting their horses deliberately rode away.

As soon as they had left the bank the alarm was given, and a number of the citizens started in pursuit. The men were overtaken a short distance from town, shots were exchanged, and in the running fight, one of the rascals was hit. He fell from his horse, and the animal galloped off free. The man's companion came to his rescue, and assisting him to mount behind himself, the two made their escape.

There is a boldness and recklessness about this robbery and murder that is almost beyond belief...

MISSOURI OUTLAWRY (From the Chicago Tribune.)

In Missouri [the Younger-James outlaws] rode into the towns and robbed banks in broad daylight; stopped passenger trains and, after emptying the express safe, "went through" everybody on board the cars. In the presence of more than 10,000 people, and in broad daylight, they presented their pistols at the ticket office of the Kansas City Fair Association and forced the Treasurer to hand over $10,000. They murdered officers sent to arrest them, and, despite their plunderings and murders, so enlisted popular sympathy in their behalf that the reward of $25,000 for their capture remained unclaimed, though their whereabouts were well known, and, in fact, instead of hiding, they paraded themselves publicly for the admiration of their fellow-Missourians. And had they remained in Missouri to the end of their lives doubtless they might with impunity have gone on with their raiding of railroad trains, and have been regarded with admiring pride by their fellow citizens of that Commonwealth. But they extended their field of operations to Minnesota, made their attack on the Northfield Bank, committed their dastardly murder of Heywood, and, to their wonderment, doubtless, they were not thereon hailed as heroic fellows who had gallantly gathered fresh laurels...

Excerpts from the book might be considered hip and trendy🤣🤣🤣

 

In December 1932 the FBI learned of an abandoned automobile in Michigan that had been stolen in Oklahoma. A search in Oklahoma of a second stolen car linked both automobiles to Barrow and Parker through a prescription bottle that had been filled for Barrow’s aunt. Further investigation led the FBI to issue a warrant against the couple for interstate transportation of the second stolen automobile on May 20, 1933. During that year Barrow and Parker engaged in several shootouts with police. In November 1933 police in Dallas, Texas, attempted to capture them near Grand Prairie, but they escaped. In January 1934 in Waldo, Texas, they helped engineer the escape of five prisoners, during which two guards were killed. On April 1, 1934, Barrow and Parker murdered two police officers in Grapevine, Texas, and five days later they killed a police constable in Miami, Oklahoma, and kidnapped a police chief. They were eventually betrayed by a friend, and police officers from Texas and Louisianaambushed the couple along a highway between the towns of Gibsland and Sailes in Bienville Parish, Louisiana, on May 23, 1934. After they attempted to flee the roadblock, police opened fire, killing them.

A passenger on an American Airlines flight from Cabo San Lucas, Mexico to Los Angeles International Airport sucker punched a flight attendant.

33-year-old Alexander Tung Cuu Le, of Westminster, California, became violent when the flight attendant told him that he could not use the bathroom in first class.

CINCINNATI, O., Jan. 8. - The Enquirer prints the following special from Catlettsburg, Ky.:

Intelligence has just reached this place of one of the most wanton and diabolical cases of arson and murder ever committed in the State of Kentucky. The scene is on the Blackberry Fork of Pond Creek, in Pike county. The crime is the outgrowth of an old feud, and is laid at the door of the notorious Hatfields and their gang. About five years ago there was an election held on that creek and one of the Hatfields came across the river from West Virginia and during the day engaged in an altercation with one of the McCoys. Two of the McCoy brothers came to his rescue and fatally stabbed Hatfield. Hatfield was taken home, and his relatives swooped down on the McCoy boys, took them captives and held them prisoners until Ellison Hatfield, whom they had stabbed, died, when the Hatfield's conveyed the three McCoy boys to the scene of the altercation, stripped them, tied them to a pawpaw bush, SHOT THEM TO DEATH, and left their dead bodies in that position. Since that time a regular war has been waged between the Hatfields and their gang, who reside in Logan county, West Virginia, and the McCoys and their gang, who reside in Pike county, Kentucky - all in the same neighborhood - the east fork of Sandy River dividing them.
