Racist Rant/Hate Crime in Charlotte

Another day in Trump's America.












A white man in Charlotte, North Carolina, stormed into the territory of a family and began shouting at the homeowners because they had a “F*** Trump” sign displayed in their lawn.
An expletive-laden video of the incident showed the man in the family’s lawn. At first, he argued with the homeowner and absurdly said the sign upset him because he didn’t like the fact that his children saw the word “F***” as they drove by his house.
The man then bizarrely claimed that he is a Bernie Sanders’ supporter and voted for him in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. However, just seconds later he adopted a racist tone – something that Sanders has repeatedly denounced.
Along with the sign that criticized Trump, the homeowners had several other boards pinned in their lawn which included slogans such as, “Black Lives Matter” and “Refugees welcome home.”
“It smells like g*ddamn weed in your entire f***ing house, that’s why the cops are coming right now, motherf***er! I’m gonna get you, n****r! N****r, n****r, n****r!” he yelled as he went towards his truck.
A female member of the family who was recording the video then went outside in an attempt to capture the number plate of the truck on camera while the man continued with his racist tirade.
“I built this country! And y’alls’ house smells like f***ing weed! I smelled it when I was walking up here!” said the racist man.
He then hopped in his truck and drove away.
As the video went viral, information regarding the man started coming up and the hash tag #LawnSignLarry emerged on Twitter.
People on social media tracked down the number plate and identified the bigoted man in the video as Cullen Heald. It was also reported that the truck the man had is reportedly registered in the name of his father.



The bigot's name Cullen Heald
Protesters held a vigil at the couple's house in Charlotte this week.  Thank goodness for that.

Here's the video of the racist bigot:




Many years ago, a Filipina by the name of Keely chronicled a list of racist and sexist incidents toward her while living in Charlotte for seven years between 2004 through 2011.  Here's her story:

Posted On: 8/11/2012 9:19:45 AM
I lived in Charlotte for 7 years and even finished college there. Horrible place if you're Asian or just not prejudice. I once worked somewhere where my favorite clients, a couple, told me they were moving. I was shocked. They told me it's because they didn't want their newborn growing up in such a racist city. They were both Caucasian, and your average middle to upper-middle-class family. It pained me to see how real it was when people of the same race as the majority who were ignorant toward me for years, saw the same thing I had. In many ways it was quite refreshing too. In 7 years living there, I had 1) a suited and well-dressed Caucasian male (I'd call him a man, but a real man wouldn't be racist) with two other professionally dressed of the same, all with long, trench coats, pass by me as I left The Fox and Hound restaurant and actually say to me, "That must be a hard job!" I didn't pass them until a few blocks away from the restaurant and I wore a very modest close to the knee skirt and a nice modest top that didn't even show cleavage. That a** made me feel low, bringing himself up. He wanted to think Filipinas, even one born and raised in the South in the US, were all mail order brides and prostitutes. 2) I walked in a commercial tire/oil shop and the guy on the phone was speaking at regular pace, normal, not too fast not too slow, just normal. Suddenly, he gets off the phone and says, "Maaaayyyy Iiiiiii heeellllllpppp youuuuuuuu???" I wrote the company, they called me back, I told them I didn't want to sue just wanted to let them know how stupid he was, and they fired him, and gave me several discount coupons...but I never returned. Not even to this day to another one. But I was glad for their formidable attitude. 3) I brought my then boyfriend's dog into a vet, I walked in and no one greeted me. I sat thinking they're busy in the back, even hearing voices and not even muffled. The door chime even rang and it was a very small clinic. Then a Caucasian enters, same door, same chime sounds, and out comes the receptionist. 4) I was in a grocery store. Quick stop. I see two well-dressed, in suits again, gentleman across the aisles looking over at me. They had to be in their 50's. One looked over his shoulder at me and then back at his friend and started saying, fairly loudly, "Ching chang chong..." I was so appalled, I walked halfway over to him and asked loudly in clear English, "DID YOU JUST MAKE FUN OF ME?" Tail between his legs, he said a stupid answer of "No." 5) I was at the mall, and as soon as I stepped on an escalator, a man passes me and says, "Konichiwa"...I'm so American, I guess, that I probably didn't even spell something he believes I know, correctly. 6) I was in a restaurant, they had karaoke, I was asked by someone who was pointing to the karaoke DJ, "Oh, is that your husband?" 7) I was in another restaurant, a former military guy sits at my table without asking, mind you, I grew up around military people and never once had anything remotely of this calibre happen to me...I tell him I just came to eat alone and if he'd mind not sitting down with me. He threw the chair a few feet, slammed it back and left the table. 8) I was seated with a colleague who invited me out with his friends. Halfway through dinner, the question of what to do came up for after dinner. When I ran down a list and mentioned karaoke, one of his friends said this, "Us white people, we Caucasians don't like karaoke, we don't do that!" My colleague never breathed anything to me during or after, or while at work. I asked him later why not, he still didn't know what to say. It was the worst stunner I had as it was within the first few months of moving there for college. I probably have a few more events, but you get the picture. I gave it 7 years, with 3 being after college. I couldn't take it any longer, when the last straw was with a different company and my stand in manager while our manager was out of town yelled at me to "SIT DOWN" when I was tired of her yelling at me and I had to stand up to leave and quit. I had enough of this that racist town, I married a Caucasian, I have a half-Chinese/half-Caucasian step son, and I now live in what turned out to be another very white community, but with no racist remarks whatsoever. Must be because I am up North! Thank God for that!

White Extremist Offers Black Trump Supporters A Rope To Hang Themselves!

Donald Trump's two Black supporters cooning around with him.

The friends you keep. Diamond and Silk, the two only Black women who openly support the controversial Donald Trump palling around with a White extremist and they didn't even know it.

Lynette “Diamond” Hardaway and Rochelle “Silk” Richardson became famous after they made a video slamming the Fox News host Megyn Kelly after she gave Trump a question about his sexist behavior.

Since then, the two had made videos completely trashing Kelly, President Barack Obama and Republican rivals Ted Cruz and John Kasich. They also go after immigrants, Blacks not hip to Trump and those who believe they're coons for support him.

Well for all the success, Diamond and Silk get national attention.

They appear on this radio show hosted by John Friend. The show called American Free Press is a White extremist-themed show. The host is a White extremist, Holocaust denier and fellow Trump supporter.

The show was broadcast on American Free Press, a website that calls itself “independent, populist, and pro-White“ and promotes racist and anti-Semitic views and conspiracy theories.
Ex-San Diego city worker become one of the biggest voices in the White extremist movement.
The two sisters, prompted by Friend, accused immigrants of demanding services and civil rights and somehow depriving Americans of those things.

"It’s time for the American people to be taken care of," said Silk in the interview, first reported by Media Matters. "It’s time for somebody to look out for the American people, and that’s what we love about Donald Trump. Everybody wants to be mad at Donald Trump, but at least he listens to the American people."

The White extremist writes a blog where he spouts racist and anti-Semitic views. He also cites Hitler and Goebbels as his inspirations.

“The only real, authentic kind of Americans there are, considering the racial group that settled, built, founded, and developed this once great nation, are those of White European descent,” he wrote recently.

Friend has said that intermarriage between races will result in “white genocide.” But he kept his views on race under wraps during the interview with the Diamond and Silk and agreed with most of what they said.

“People are tired of being under- or unemployed. We need to bring back good jobs, opportunities for people to be gainfully employed,” said Silk. “People are tired of his divide in our country. It’s time to bring back spirit, it’s time to unite. Remember, this is the United States, not the Divided States, so it’s time for us to come together.”

The friends that Donald Trump keeps are extremists. When will that annoying conservative agitator Sean Hannity ask Trump about these associations?

Trump Got The Bigots Pouring Into His Campaign!

Pro-confederate lawmaker Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) endorses Donald Trump. Sessions's endorsement is a blow to the Ted Cruz campaign.


Just when you thought David Duke was a horrible endorsement.

Here comes two Republicans who have a notorious history of supporting White extremism. Matter of fact, the Ted Cruz presidential campaign was hoping for these endorsements. But it turns out to be a "HUGE" endorsement for the media mogul.

Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) and Maine governor Paul LePage have both came out and endorsed Donald Trump for president.

Sessions has a staunch opposition towards immigration. He ended up making this endorsement today and it stings. Especially against Ted Cruz, his fellow senator who once was the darling of the insurgency. The insurgency is not into Cruz and Sessions's endorsement of Trump is blow to the campaign. Session is pro-confederate and is a leading advocate towards stripping the safety net from the poor.

LePage is pretty much another bigot for the record. This year he attributed the rising deaths to heroin to Black criminals immigrating to his state with the boy.

These endorsements are a sign of how the Trump campaign is destroying the party. Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz and Ben Carson are trying to reach out to minority voters. Trump is reaching out to disgruntled White people who were disappointed with Republicans inept offensive against President Barack Obama.

Matter of fact, Trump has tapped into the extremist wing of the party. The party that advocates the notion that "black mob violence" exists. That immigrants are "criminals", "dope pushers" and having "anchor babies" by the boatload.

On GOP Sundays, Trump won't disavow the endorsement from Duke.

White Extremists Threaten Texas Mosque!

Who is the real threat in the United States?

Who are the real terrorist here in the United States?

Let's clear a few things up. There are 1.5 billion practicing Muslims in the world. There are 40 million people in the United States who are practicing in Islam.

Muslims condemn violence. It is truly the religion of peace. There is an element of society who inherited this belief that the Western world is deliberately trying to wage war against Muslims.

There are factors to why terrorism exist. Usually it involves poverty, a lack of education, political corruption, a sense of no hope and of course lack of support.

In the United States, the junk food media has pushed this narrative that ALL Muslims are scary.

The Republicans and their conservative allies are exploiting the Paris attacks as a buffer to push a narrow minded and downright racist agenda.

They are trying to push religious tests, ban Syrian refugees, and force police profiling on Muslims.

They are stroking fear and paranoia.

Now an armed group of White extremists are bothering parishioners at the Islamic Center in Irving.

David Wright III decided to be dick. He wanted push his Islamophobia through the social media.

He published the names and phone numbers of people who attended or supported the mosque.

His organization the Bureau of American-Islamic Relations (BAIR) is a play on the Council of American-Islamic Relation (CAIR). The group is anti-Muslim and pro-gun.

“THE NAME AND ADDRESS OF EVERY MUSLIM AND MUSLIM SYMPATHIZER THAT STOOD UP FOR SHARIA SHARIA TRIBUNALS IN IRVING TX. LISTED BELOW,” wrote Wright on BAIR’s social media page.

The White extremists believe they can convince the Texas Republican governor Greg Abbott that Shir'a Law is a coming and White folks better be aware of it.

His defense to having firearms at these protest rallies: "Self-defense".

The controversy was sparked also by the Ahmed Mohamed controversy. The young teen was a student at a Irving school. He was arrested for bringing a homemade clock to his class.

It became a rally cry for conservatives to attack Muslims.

Republicans are stupid as fuck. These idiots want gun control for Blacks, Hispanics, and practicing Muslims. They want Christian people to have more rights than those who aren't religious. They want to get into women's lives by passing restrictive laws that outlaw abortions and paid maternity leave.

It's like they're asshole backwards when it comes to progress. And now because of this resentment, White extremists are inspired to kill.

White Thuggery In Texas!

Some of the living bikers after a major riot outside a local restaurant. Some of the members have the SS logo. A notorious symbol of the Neo-Nazi movement. This is the Cossacks Bikers. They are the domestic terrorist groups that the FBI and Homeland Security on the lookout for.

If the junk food media was willing to call the biker gangs involved in a deadly shooting a bunch of thugs could it be equal to their coverage of Baltimore rioters who burned down a CVS store?

Nine lives are lost in this fight outside a restaurant in Waco, TX.

Why would this restaurant invite numerous biker gangs knowing that this could result in a riot where guns, knifes, clubs, chains, and fists were used as weapons?

The law was prepared for this. They anticipated some drama. After the restaurant that sponsored the event was pre-warned about the effects of it.

Twin Peaks Bar and Grille is a restaurant similar to rival Hooters. The business is growing. The waitresses dress scantily clad, serve burgers, alcohol and sports on the boob tube.

This Waco location was sponsoring a "Biker Night" and they proudly wanted them to show up.

Twin Peaks logo
The restaurant got shut down after this event. Twin Peaks representatives have no comment about it and have told the owner of the business to pack it up and leave. They want no business with that business.


Waco Police, the Texas Rangers and the FBI are focused on this criminal case. Nearly 200 members of numerous biker groups are in an auditorium converted into a lockup. With armed officers watching their moves. They can't fit them all into the local county lockup. Each got a fork a million to get that "get out free card".

The sad case of a growing effect of White-on-White crime. A scenario that the junk food media too afraid to cover. They figured that since the event was a mass causality event, they had to cover it.
Some of the girls working at a Twin Peaks Restaurant.
This stuff has been going on for years. But it's got to be good enough for the junk food media to put a spin on it.

Teacher-student sex scandals, stupid criminal acts, bad parenting crimes, animal cruelty, and drug crimes aren't always Black criminal behavior. It's mostly done by White people.

These bikers involved in this senseless tragedy are thugs. They're terrorists. They're criminals.

Gangs are not strictly Black. There's White gangs too.... And these gangs are just as dangerous!

World News Today sends our condolences to those lost in this tragedy.

Silent Kill!

Hate groups are plotting domestic attacks.

The Southern Poverty Law Center said that it's going to be an explosive year for domestic terrorism.

Proof positive that the hate groups are plotting to cause senseless destruction.

They released a report stating that the country's most notorious White extremist website may have ties to unsolved murders. And some of these members are openly bragging about it.

The report said nearly 100 people in the last five years have been murdered by frequent users of one white extremist supremacist website, "WHO CARES". The site describes itself as a community of “White Nationalists” and “the voice of the new, embattled White minority.”

Potok called on law enforcement, particularly the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, to increase its focus on racist online forums.

There's ten active hate websites online. Not to mention there's websites such as That Guy Who Throws Shit To The Wall. That Guy links up stories to appeal to the White extremists.

The website's founder dismiss this as propaganda created by the SPLC to tarnish a civil "pro-White" forum

Yeah, I can tell you the truth. It's real.

Could you imagine that over 1,000 active hate groups exist in the United States?

White Extremist Featured On Nightline!

Matt Heimbach (center) is the clean cut professional bigot. He is plotting a 2014 recruitment of young Whites who are fed up with the ongoing attacks on his race. Heimbach is one of the most dangerous figures in the White Extremist movement according to the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Bryon Pitts interviews Matt Heimbach, the most notorious white extremist. The professional bigot makes his national rounds on ABC.

He's channeling the former Ku Klux Klan leaders David Duke and Don Black. He is using his professional skills as a marketer and motivator to inspire hate.

He's doing more than passing out flyers and shouting at his fellow Americans. He's recruiting young ignorance with these White Student Unions.

He's not ashamed of promoting his views and even went to the country's most diverse city to interact with those he hate. He would travel to diverse cities like New York and Chicago to inspire young Whites to join his clique.

Heimbach doesn't mind interacting with Black people. However, it's mildly cordial but still confrontational.

He's doing a quite remarkable approach at recruiting. ABC News just gave him a path to promote himself and his allies. A man who is not ashamed of heritage or his hatred of Blacks, Jews and gays.

Heimbach and Thomas Buhls, his co-founder created the White Student Union. They are plotting a nationwide tour across the South and many conservative states. They want to achieve the goal of being an effective "White nationalist group!"

They're even trying to seek recruitment into the 2014 CPAC Convention.

Byron Pitts follows Heimbach to Chicago and Indianapolis to met Dawah Yisrael and Mmoja Ajabu, two of the most dangerous Black separatists in the nation.

Right Wing Media and White Supremacists Turned on George Zimmerman and Craig Cobb

Right Wing Media and White Supremacists Turned on George Zimmerman and Craig Cobb.



  

Those guys thought white supremacists/racists/right-wingconservatives would accept them.  Heck to the naw!



Karma to both men who thought they could get away with murder.  Mr. Zimmerman is finally getting his comeuppance from the right-wing media.  It's all because he beat up White America's precious icon, the all-American Blonde.  Mr. Cobb has fallen from white supremacists' "good graces" once they found out that he's part Black and had a criminal record. 

Here are the links to the latest Zimmerman and Cobb sagas:

White Supremacist Kills Colorado Prison Director!

Evan Ebel
Disguised as a pizza delivery driver, a White supremacist shoots and kills the Colorado Prison Director in cold blood.


There was a huge break in the case of the murder of a Colorado Department of Corrections director.

The shooter was gravely injured in a firefight with the Texas state troopers after members of law enforcement tied him to the shooting of an officer.

We here at Journal de la Reyna send our prayers to the law enforcement officer and condolences to the victims of this week's new tragedy.

While it's been said over and over, I think no one is listening. The extremism is on the rise. White males who harbor conservative views are trending in hate of someone's race, gender, sexuality, nationality, education, religion, political and economic standings.

They are riled up by conservative agitators in the media. The outlets that provide rage for the White nationalist movement include: The Drudge Report, Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Alex Jones, Michael Savage, The Fox Nation and Breitbart. These are primary examples of aiding and abetting hate crimes.
Thomas Clements, the chief of corrections.
Evan Spencer Ebel, age 28 is likely to die of his injuries after a shootout with Texas State Police.

Apparently, Ebel is tied to the ambush killing of Colorado Department of Correction head Tom Clements.

The man who led Texas authorities on a 100 mph car chase and may be linked to two Colorado murders, including that of Department of Corrections director Tom Clements, has been identified.

Various media outlets including The Associated Press and The Denver Post have confirmed that man is 28-year-old Evan Spencer Ebel, a parolee in the Denver metro area.

The Denver Post also reports that Ebel may have been a member of a white supremacist prison gang, the 211s.

Colorado Department of Corrections spokeswoman Alison Morgan said Ebel has a lengthy criminal record and was paroled but would not release further information because of the ongoing investigation.

Authorities are still investigating whether Ebel was linked to Clements' slaying and the Sunday night killing of 27-year-old Nathan Leon, a Denver Domino's pizza delivery man.

Authorities say that that Ebel is hooked up to equipment for organ harvesting, and is brain dead.

"We don't know yet exactly whether this is the guy," Gov. John Hickenlooper told reporters Thursday afternoon. "There's some indication. I hope it is."

WE HAVEN'T GOTTEN WORD OF THE NAMES OF THE SUSPECTS INVOLVED!

PART FIVE WILL COME SHORTLY!

Any coverage from this tragedy will come from the Associated Press, CNN, YouTube, Daily Motion and other resources as soon as it's available.

Part three of the story.

Dan Malloy the governor of Connecticut had state police and his press secretary address the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut.

The FBI and Department of Homeland Security and the United States Justice Department are taking this matter very seriously.

The Associated Press reports, an official with knowledge of a shooting at a Connecticut elementary school says 27 people are dead, including 18 children.

The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation is still under way.

State police Lt. Paul Vance says only that staff and students at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown are among the victims. He says the shooter was dead in the school.

Vance says Newtown police called state police around 9:40 a.m. A SWAT team was among the throngs of police to respond to the school, about 60 miles northeast of New York City.

Photos from the scene showed young students — some crying, others looking visibly frightened — being escorted by adults through a parking lot in a line, hands on each other's shoulders.

More details will be released soon. Part Four will posted shortly.

What A Boob! PA Shoplifter Lifts More Than Groceries!

Topless Shoplifter Eludes Police
Aishana Clayton 
Aishana Clayton makes herself the target of conservative and White supremacist ire! Another wacky event that features a Black person.

The usual stuff that drives bigots online to attack the Black community and President Barack Obama. They'll probably use the snide comment that this was one of [Obama's] children! The Pennsylvania police nab the young woman after she makes the decision to steal but when caught, "her girls" were present and accounted for.

The Upper Derby Police have to deal with shoplifting, but this one is getting a some attention.

According to the Huffington Post and NBC Philadelphia, Aishana Clayton was caught on camera stealing diapers from a Pathmark store in Upper Derby. Store security managed to apprehend her but she put up a fight and injured a 47 year old worker.

After Clayton managed to maneuver through the store security, she wiggled out of her shirt went showed her breast. While fleeing, she was apparently topless and got into a vehicle and left the store.

Many are surprised that she was bold enough to allow her breasts to be seen in the public.

"Her breasts were swinging as she ran to the car", said Upper Darby Police Superintendent Michael Chitwood.

Clayton is on parole until November 2012, but has four prior convictions for retail theft as well as arrests for aggravated assault and attempted murder.

She is facing charges of robbery, retail theft, simple assault, recklessly endangering another person and harassment.

Black Patrons Bring Attention To A North Carolina Bar's Racist Tactics!


Party Like A Rock Star!


In Raleigh, North Carolina, a downtown hole in the wall is literally a-hole! The service is not only rude but the treatment of the patrons who happen to be Black is what gotten this establishment under fire.

Downtown Sports Bar & Grill is the establishment and a Harvard bound Black person is the one who brought this to the attention of the news agitators.

The bar has a list of rules that seem coded to prevent young Black males and some females from enjoying entertainment at this establishment. I guess when you're a Black person and you want to visit Downtown, you're going to have a "membership" before you get in. If you manage to get in, they order you to make at least a $20 purchase of alcoholic beverages or you can leave. Don't worry about those so called gang signs or those trendy hats! You're not allowed to wear them. Nevermind the preppy college kid who happens to be White wearing his North Carolina Blue, you the Black patron can't wear it. If you're caught wearing it, you're out!

Make It Rain, Homie!


Okay, we're at the point of insanity in the age of President Barack Obama. A state that he carried in the 2008 U.S. Elections is now a grab for the Republicans. Issues such as this club and their stupid policies and discrimination to Black patrons is a reason for the unease within our country.

According to news sources and a White professor, this club is now being looked at by the news media. The news has been making the rounds on the local and national blogosphere since North Carolina Central University Professor Philip Christman posted on his blog.

 Jezbel and Gawker have the dirt on this establishment.

Jonathan Wall and two other friends arrived at Downtown Sports Bar and Grill around 12:30 AM. "You need a membership to come in tonight," the bouncer told them. "I've never seen you here before." The friends were confused, since the bar is better known for its all-you-can-eat wings and massive TVs than fancy private parties — and because the people in line before them walked right in after showing their ID.
The only difference between those people and my friends and I was our race. Still, we stood at the door in bewilderment asking "What?" as he further tried to explain that we weren't going to be able to come in because of our "non-member" status. However, as he was explaining this, a police officer walked up to where he was standing to tell him something unrelated. As soon as he caught sight of the officer beside him, he said "Never mind, y'all go ahead." This was the first interesting ordeal of the night, but not the last.
Once inside, Wall was accosted by an employee [who he later learned was the bar's manager] after standing near the bar by himself for a few moments. "Either buy a drink or leave right now," the man told him. Wall said he was waiting for his friend to come back from the bathroom, but man insisted he had to buy a drink right away. When Wall continued to look for his friend, the employee physically attacked him:
After he cleaned the table, it looked as if he was headed back behind the bar when he came up to me and said "Either buy a drink or leave right now." Again shocked, I replied "I'm just waiting for my friend to come back from the bathroom." He responded, "I don't care, get a drink or leave right now." I said "Okay" and began texting. He walked away from me, then went and sat with his back to the bar as he stared me down. Being non-confrontational, I looked towards the bathroom, waiting to see my friend come out so that we could leave. I also took notice of how many of the people surrounding the bar and the club area didn't have drinks in their hands. I felt as if I was singled out. The common denominator, again, was that I was the only black person around. After staring me down for about 30 seconds, he walked back over and said "Are you going to buy a drink, or are you going to leave?" I replied, "As soon as my friend comes from the bathroom." Before I cold utter another word, he grabbed my right wrist and my left arm and threw them behind my head in an effort to constrain me, although I was speaking to him a calm and non-aggressive tone and didn't once even gesture. He then used excessive force to push me through the crown and out of the club while I was still in this "headlock" of sorts, before pushing me out of the front door. As soon as he grabbed me, I let my body go limp because with the degree of force he was already using, I didn't want him to think I was trying to fight back. I accepted that he was on an ego-trip, and let him guide me through the club in this position before pushing me out. I was completely shocked and more saddened that this was happening than angry.
When Wall tried to tell the bouncer what had happened, he waved him away and told him to get lost. Upset "that what I believed to have been blunt and undeniable segregation was taking place in an establishment in Raleigh, the city I was born, raised in, and love," Wall sought out a nearby police officer, who told him "this was a very unfortunate occurrence, but not an isolated instance":
She explained that this happens all the time, and that if she approached the bartender about it, he'd have witnesses that would corroborate whatever story he made up as to why he kicked me out in such an aggressive manner. She then explained that my options were limited because if she proceeded with getting statements from both of us and conducted an investigation, the end result could be worse for me: either it would get dismissed in court, or we would both be charged with what is the equivalent of "fighting" and both have a misdemeanor. She said "He probably has a few charges already, but you're young with a bright future ahead of you, and you don't want that on your record."
Wall wasn't sure "whether I should trust a police officer within the network of bouncers/officers who worked the many clubs/bars of Glennwood" until the man who threw him out stepped outside of the bar and he pointed him out to the officer, who approached him:
They talked for about 3 minutes before she came back to me and said, "I knew this was going to happen. Now, I don't believe him one bit, but he says that he has three people who witnessed you throw an elbow at him before he restrained you." Shocked is an understatement. As I said earlier, I talked in a non-confrontational, clam [sic] and respectful tone, and didn't even gesture when talking. There is no way that he could have perceived me as having thrown an elbow and I didn't understand how three people would lie and say that I did. I asked the officer about video camera footage. If the club used cameras, they would show the conversation, and his aggressiveness in constraining me despite me posing no threat and remaining calm throughout the conversation and his constraining me. She said that it would require a search warrant and that there was "No telling" how the video could be edited, tampered with, or even done away with before it would be required to be handed over to the investigators.
Wall was frustrated by the officer's complacency:
What troubled me about my conversation with the officer was that she seemed to assume the worst case scenario in every possible solution to my encounter. She kept talking about how much paper work would be involved, as if that were going to deter me from seeking justice. Still, it was 2am, and after speaking to both of my parents and my friends, I realized that justice couldn't be served that night. Because of the lack of witnesses, it would simply be my word versus his (and that of his three "witnesses"), which could potentially yield extremely negative consequences for me, even though I had done nothing wrong throughout the entirety of the ordeal.
After Wall told his family about his night, his 21-year-old cousin called him and asked the name of the bar that had thrown him out. She gasped when he told her it was Downtown Sports Bar and Grill, because she had been barred from entering the same spot earlier that night. "The only common denominator in her and my own dealings with the bar was one single factor: race," Wall wrote. "We were both African-Americans trying to enter and enjoy a bar that seemed to only welcome those not like us."

Since legal action seemed futile, Wall used his social media skills instead, tweeting and emailing his story to everyone he could think of. There are almost 200 comments on the post Christman wrote yesterday, many written by Raleigh residents who say they've been discriminated against because of their race. For example:
The same thing happened when my boyfriend (who is black), his 2 friends, (who are black), his other 2 friends (who are Iranian), and I (I'm mixed) went there. Except that a cop was standing right next to the bouncer and heard him say that we needed a membership to get in. I had been let in numerous times before when I went with my other friends, but this time got rejected. I was livid because that line is used when bouncers don't want to let someone in. And nowhere does it say membership is required to enter into Downtown Sports Bar. I've decided to boycott it.
I have experienced being turned away by the membership tactic. (I am black). Right after I was turned away three girls (all white) came up and went right in.
omgee, same thing happened to me on saturday! my friends always try to get me to go and I finally said yes. the first 3 [one mixed , 2 white] weren't carded; however me and the fifth friend were ! was told I was using a fake & dont even know the excuse she was given. we were both black, btw .
As a white female, I visited downtown sports a year ago and witnessed the EXACT same thing. I was horrified, tried talking to the bouncer (who didn't want to hear a word from me) and was pushed back into a crowded room. I have never been back.
The same thing happened to me and my friends at Downtown Sports Bar! My two friends and I, all of us white, got in no problem. However my boyfriend and his friend, both black, were turned away for not having on collared shirts. After they were denied entry, we stood outside and witnessed 5 white males being let in that had on regular t-shirts just like my friends did!!! Absolutely disgusting, I truly hope the news will do an investigation.
WOW…I had an issue with this place too…As I walked up i watched short white guy walk up to the black bouncer and whisper something…i kind of figured something was about to happen…I was not allowed in for the dumbest reason ever…."My Shirt was to long"…the damn shirt stopped at the top of my zipper and it was a tailored button up…i offered to tuck the shirt in and they still refuse to allow me in…i stood back shocked as two white guys with baggy jeans and sneakers walk in…i pointed out 2 guys with longer button ups than i had on and i was told they were allowed in earlier that day and we have a night dress code…i was pissed…my friend was said "just tell him he cant come in because he's black.
One early commenter, 21-year-old Karimah Shepherd, had a similar experience at the bar — down to the "membership" excuse, the furious manager, and the lackadaisical police response — and started a Facebook group after coming across Wall's story. Less than 24 hours later, it has almost 3,000 members. She told us that their goal is to garner media attention, and it's working: a local newspaper is planning a front page story,

WRAL is investigating the incident, and a large protest at the bar is planned for next Saturday. Shepherd said at least 50 people have emailed her about their own horrible Downtown Sports Bar and Grill experiences. "It's shocking how much support we've gained in such a short time," she said, sounding overwhelmed.

The one local outlet that's covered the story, New Raleigh, identified the man who threw Wall out as Todd Chriscoe, the bar's manager. Chriscoe, whose name comes up often in the other commenters' complaints, is no stranger to the law: his rap sheet is peppered with misdemeanors and felonies. So why don't police take the numerous allegations against him more seriously?

There are some Black patrons who took their campaign to shut the business down to Facebook. And it's gotten a whole lot of attention. We'll keep you posted on the results of this controversy here on Journal de la Reyna.

This Is What Your Congress Is Doing! More GOP Witch Hunts To Damage Obama!

Congressman Darrell Issa (R-California) and Attorney General Eric Holder. The Republicans witch hunt against President Barack Obama. The Republicans are trying to rile up white voters with these ridiculous issues such as the Operation Fast & Furious issue in which a U.S. border agent was killed after drug lords used firearms they've purchased at gun shows and the Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms agency failed at monitoring their movements.
 
The Republican Party has made it clear that they want to make Barack Obama serve one term.

They're so fixated on trying to ruin the economy, they don't care who they hurt. Their allies in the conservative movement rather attack and defame the allies that support the president.  The Republicans and its allies in the conservative movement rather waste their time on culture wars instead of solving problems. They are rooting for a civil war within our borders. And yes, they're some members who are willing to shoot and kill for conservative causes.

The Republicans have riled up white voters to oppose President Barack Obama. They try to make groups turn against one another.

In the latest distraction with the war against President Barack Obama, here comes a rehash of an old controversy that should have been put to rest the first time. This is like the umpteenth time.

This ridiculous Operation Fast & Furious controversy is another waste of time distraction created by the Republican Party. The Republicans have collective memory loss.

Attorney General Eric Holder, the first Black appointed federal law enforcement chief is under fire by these idiots in Congress over a tragedy that involved the death of a border agent.

Republican Congressman Darrell Issa (R-California) has made it clear that he's invested in this Operation Fast & Furious. The congressman has subpenaed Holder over five times to testify.

Congessman Issa thinks that the U.S. Justice Department has held back documents that could indict members of Holder's inner circle.

According to CBS, the conservative reporter Sheryl Attkisson stated that the House Oversight Committee will vote next week on whether to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress. It's the fourth time in 30 years that Congress has launched a contempt action against an executive branch member.

The Justice Department has maintained it has cooperated fully with the congressional investigation, turning over tens of thousands of documents and having Holder testify to Congress on the topic at least eight times.

Issa says the Justice Department can still put a stop to the contempt process at any time by turning over the subpoenaed documents.


If the House Oversight Committee approves the contempt citation, the matter would likely be scheduled for a full House vote.


For several weeks, there has been closed-door discussions and debate among House Republicans as to whether to move forward with contempt. Some have expressed concern that it could distract from the Republican's focus on the economy in this election year.

Just like this ridiculous controversy over the allegedly leaks of information in the killing of al-Qaeda members.

Republicans are upset that leaks about the president's steadfast strategy to take on the conservative Sunni militant group. They want to know who leaked out the information and they're pointed fingers at the president.

The Republicans are weak on terrorism. They've been highly upset that members of al-Qaeda are being picked off quickly by the leaked documents of  "target kills". The president approved of CIA drone strikes in Pakistan and Yemen.

Republicans are not concern with success, they'll try to find failure.

The president has worked to fix these problems and yet the Republicans are trying to distract by saying none of his policies are working. As Europe is working on their solutions to fix the economy, they wait on the leading nations like the United States and China to come up with solutions. The Republicans aren't going to support anything the president proposes. The Democrats and the president aren't going to agree on major austerity cuts to domestic programs that help the lower and middle class.

The Republicans scream over achievements President Barack Obama. They cheer when things are failing.

You see they have a candidate they're not satisfied with. They hate Mitt Romney. But you better believe the Republicans are energized and willing to accept a "moderate" like Romney then suffer another term of President Barack Obama. They've been working on gotcha moments to rile up the conservative base.

I am getting really fed up with Congress. They need to pass laws that will fix the economy. Not waste time on trying to witch hunt and distract voters with legislation that could screw up the country.

I've said before and I'll say it again: [They] cheer for failure! Scream at success!

Meh....




The white supremacists online have once again found me to be a gadfly in their campaign against the Black community. This Trayvon Martin controversy has given a recruitment tool for these online jerks. They're actively rooting for an all out race war.

Grab your firearms, people! Those evil Black thugs who carry their angry attitudes are heading for the suburbs planning on stealing your White women and taking your values down in the suburbs.

The Southern Poverty Law Center and the Anti-Defamation League has counted over 1,000 active extremist groups. This time, they've included online extremism in the fold. This stuff is growing.

Yeah, so I am assuming these keyboard generals will waste their time harassing me, threatening me, create hundreds of fake profiles with images of me or my allies and/or making these ridiculous photoshopped pictures of me. I am actually laughing at these people now!

Let me repeat this once again for those who "think we'z be ignant".

I used to get annoyed by this nonsense. Now I just laugh at it and brush it off!

Because you know these people are so desperate. They've lost grip on reality. It's unraveling underneath them and there's nothing they can do about it. So instead of trying to plow a few more seeds to catch up, they'll spend time complaining on talk radio, these blogs and social networks about the day when "The Niggers Take Over!"

We have the first Black president, and they're working hard to defeat him.

There's one who devoted his time to writing blogs totally trashing us.

This is the last element of the world where these online racists can feel free to slander, harass, intimidate and paint us as the enemy. Forget international terrorism, the only thing that has these white supremacists up in arms is the Black community, President Barack Obama, and those who stand up against them.

There's more of us. Less of you.

To those people who troll the internet for all things Black, Barack Obama and White Power, this is the last thing left in your superiority.

As of May 2012, it was declared by the United States Census Bureau that minorities are growing at a faster birth rate than those who are White.

That has some upset. Conservative white men are likely to be people who troll online to start stuff with those who they deem as a threat to their radical causes. See I can imagine how many of these white angry men use these white supremacists forums. They'll bookmark websites like the Fox Nation, Breitbart.com or The Drudge Report. There's call in to talk radio programs like Rush Limbaugh and Michael Savage to rail about those evil people in our country trying to steal the whole pie from the white guy!

To those internet trolls who anonymously comment online about the Black IQ.

I want you to understand this with the utmost sincerity.

If you were to take a citizenship test to pledge loyalty to the United States you will fail the test. Most Americans couldn't even figure out each state capital, yet these people online are the smart ones.

If you were smart, why aren't you rich?

From Alexa rankings, these hate websites that troll the internet attract at least 21,000 web hits. Not much traffic. Other websites such as the counterbalance website White Watch has traffic over 1.4 million hits.

If Blacks were so angry all the time, how come one didn't spent his/her time creating websites that attack whites in general?

I mean there's a website that devotes it time to trashing whites. There's no forums that devote their time to attacking the white race in general. I bet you if someone creates an anti-white website, I assure you that Sean Hannity, The Drudge Report, and other conservative agitators will find some problem with it. Of course insert Barack Obama in the conversation.

If I was all these things, you claim I am, how do you know? Do you follow my daily routine 24/7?

I am tolerant of race, gender, sexuality, religion, nationality, language, political and economic standings. I have grown accustomed to the hate that comes with my popularity. They're begging for me to respond so they can say, "Hey, this dude is responding back! We got him in our grip!"

No I won't waste an ounce of my keystroke to respond to these online losers. Let them take it to the streets.

Bring all your racial slurs, Tea Party rhetoric, anti-Obama rants, and blame the other guy crap to these so-called liberal Nigger loving communities you've scorned online. Let your First Amendment rights inspire active protests.

These people who are protesting against socialism, government spending out of control, corporate greed, preventing domestic austerity cuts,  police profiling, anti-choice, and for justice to Trayvon Martin are out there. Why don't you get your lazy asses off the computer and make some trouble?

Yeah, I love the women! The white women do love me and I still my love my Black women too!

You think we talk about sex all the time. Hell, you better hope that Black man isn't stealing your white girlfriend.

Interracial dating is on the rise and it's likely going to continue in the age of Barack Obama and a browner nation.

And I'm guessing in some these white supremacists are homosexual and they'll probably flip out if Black man steal their man!

I mean who could attract a bunch of people who'll never show their face but scream in your ear!

So I realize that I am making an impact here and at my affiliated blogs.

Me personally, I am inviting myself to attention. I am put my honest unapologetic opinion out there for the public to see.

I realize that even if I don't mention them, they'll find some issue with me or my allies and then they'll go ape shit crazy over it.

Why should I worry about you?


You're certainly worrying your butts about me.


But like I told you, it's not going to slow me or my allies down. We keep it moving and we're not afraid of a bunch of people who spent their entire lives hating people. 

So in closing to those who troll the internet with this hate. You trying to bait us with your rhetoric?

Meh, we are not worry about you! We just block it and move on!

So meh! We keep it moving!

White Supremacist Woes: They're Singing The Blues Aren't They?


Send this idiot to American Idol. 

The user from YouTube is a white supremacist.

This guy is venting frustrations about the Black single mother. He complains about the single woman spending his taxpayer dollars to raise her seven "niglets" and he hope he would kill her so his problems were gone.

Extremists are finding a home online and it's insane. Listen to this moron sing his "Shaniqua Blues" a tribute to the single Black mother raising children on a "hard working" White person's dime.

Warning the contents are explicit:



This video doesn't get much attention online because it's one of millions of others that managed to sneak through YouTube. YouTube prohibits hate speech and yet, it continues online, here through Blogger and the two core social networking websites like Twitter and Facebook.

Dennis Mahon and his twin brother plotted to kill a Civil Rights leader by sending package bombs. He was found guilty of by a federal court and was sentenced for 40 years.

But in this outrage within the White supremacists community, one person is facing federal charges for his hate of the Black community. An Arizona man was sentenced to 40 years in a federal prison for a domestic terrorism case that injured a man. This is one of the many hate crimes that go unnoticed when conservatives are looking to find the next Black on White crime.

A federal court found Dennis Mahon, age 61, was found guilty in sending a package pipe bomb that injured a man in 2010. The incident badly injured a Black person. The victim Don Logan suffered severe burns on his face and hands after opening a package that was directed to him at his Scottsdale, Arizona diversity center.

Dennis was betrayed by his twin brother Daniel, 61 and a woman, Rebecca Williams, 41 who Dennis dated during the time of the incident. They were federal informants. His brother was cleared of the charges.

According to the Associated Press, Prosecutors argued at trial that the Mahon brothers bombed Logan on behalf of a group called the White Aryan Resistance, which they said encourages members to act as "lone wolves" and commit violence against non-whites and the government.

Prosecutors showed surveillance tapes of the brothers referring to Logan in racial slurs. They also played a voicemail that Dennis Mahon left at Scottsdale's diversity office just months before the bombing in which he angrily said: "The white Aryan resistance is growing in Scottsdale. There's a few white people who are standing up."

Defense attorneys said Logan's job made him unpopular and someone working for the city of Scottsdale was likely the perpetrator.

They also heavily criticized the use of 41-year-old Rebecca Williams as an informant, giving her the nickname "trailer park Mata Hari" — a reference to the Dutch exotic dancer who was convicted of working as a spy for Germany during World War I.

Investigators met the former stripper through her brother, an informant himself on the Hells Angels motorcycle gang, and recruited her for the Mahon case, directing her to act like a government separatist and racist. She wore revealing clothes and sent racy photos to the brothers to win their trust.

Williams met the brothers in January 2005 after investigators set her up in a government-provided trailer at a Catoosa, Okla., campground where the brothers were staying at the time. A Confederate flag was placed in her window, and prosecutors say the Mahons introduced themselves within minutes of her arrival.

Dennis Mahon opened up to Williams as their conversations were recorded, telling her how to make bombs after she told him a fictitious story that she wanted to harm a child molester she knew.

In one conversation, she asked Mahon if he ever had a bomb work, to which he replied: "Yeah, diversity officer."

Logan testified at trial about the unbearable pain he felt after he opened the package, describing the lights going out, the room filling with smoke and debris falling from the ceiling.

Logan, who now works as a diversity administrator in the Phoenix suburb of Glendale, was hospitalized for three days. He needed four surgeries to remove shrapnel from his arm and hand, do a skin graft on his severely damaged forearm and restore some use to one of his fingers that nearly had to be amputated.

Even after Dennis Mahon was convicted, his lawyers say he maintains his innocence.

They also say no evidence shows the bombing was done with the intent to seriously injure or kill Logan. They argued the facts fell far short of a 100-year sentence, noting there were no deaths or life-threatening injuries from the bombing.

Prosecutors, who recommended a sentence of more than 60 years, say Dennis Mahon intended to send a political message in trying to kill Logan.

The Mahons were living in the Phoenix area at the time of the bombing but left days afterward and were arrested in 2009 in Illinois.

Dennis Mahon's attorneys argued their client "often makes exaggerated self-aggrandizing claims" that aren't true, that he was an alcoholic who constantly was drinking Everclear, and that his statements to Williams were meant to impress her.

Dennis Mahon was found guilty of conspiracy to damage buildings and property by means of explosives; malicious damage of a building by means of explosives; and distribution of information related to explosives

Daniel Mahon was acquitted of conspiracy to damage buildings and property.
Marcus Faella and his wife Patricia (second row right to left) recruited members including one of his best friends and his wife to plot a domestic attack on Orlando's urban community. Faella is a notorious Neo-Nazi who has ties to the American Front, a white supremacist organization.
Another incident included a Florida couple recruiting eight other members to carry out a domestic terrorist attack on an Orlando Florida government building, in response to the Trayvon Martin controversy.

The Miami New Times describes, the FBI which arrested Faella, his wife, Patricia, and six of his followers in a local branch of the American Front organization yesterday. The group was planning for an all-out race war, the feds say.


Starting in November 2010, Faella began building an "Aryan compound" in Osceola County, the FBI says.

In the two years since, he'd managed to fortify the area with cement pilings, railroad ties and barbed wire while stockpiling a mass of weapons and food.

Faella had a long history of violent racial plots in the Sunshine State.

"We've been aware of Marcus Faella since 1993 when he was a member of the Confederate Hammerskins, a violent skinhead group, and head of the Melbourne chapter," Southern Poverty Law Center spokesman Mark Potok tells the Orlando Sentinel.

Faella seemed closer than ever to action this time. In addition to the weapons cache, his group had an active member of the Missouri National Guard who also belonged to American Front travel to Osceola County to train them in military maneuvers.

White supremacists are online through these website forums such as Stormfront, Niggermania, Chimpout, Irateirishman, National Vanguard, Detroit Is Crap, Mr. Shaved Long Cock, Stuff Black People Don't Like, The Color Of Crime, New Sexon, and Podblanc.

They serve as a voice to the angry white man who is capable of plotting and enabling domestic terrorism.

Federal informants working for the FBI go online to search out extremism through Islamic forums and white supremacist forums.

They look for words, comments or reactionary phrases that are key to outing a potential threat to the United States.

Don't think these websites go unfiltered without an informant watching and waiting to find the one who plans on carrying out the threats.

National Outrage: Trayvon Martin Killing.

The U.S. Justice Department and the FBI are looking into the matter. Sanford, Florida is the center of the controversy. A young teenager was gunned down by a neighborhood watch captain. The public outcry has now stirred the debate once again about racial profiling and gun laws. The White House express regret. The person, George Zimmerman 28, who fired upon teenager Trayvon Martin, 17 is for now a free man. Zimmerman is fearing for his life after incident.

The conservative media is trying to ignore the story and white supremacists are cheering for more incidents like this to happen.



That was the 911 tape in which the shooter was warned not to apprehend Martin. Below is the picture of the teenager, and George Zimmerman, the shooter. Zimmerman is White (Hispanic).

 From the New York Magazine, the detailing of the controversy.

In what is becoming an increasingly well-known sequence of events, on February 26, during halftime of the NBA All-Star Game, 17-year-old Trayvon Martin walked to buy Skittles and iced tea from 7-Eleven in Sanford, Florida. On his way back to his father's house in a gated community, Martin was shot and killed by George Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch captain who had just called 911 to report Martin as "a real suspicious guy." Zimmerman, a 28-year-old Latino man, claimed self-defense and has not been arrested or charged, but now finds himself at the center of a prickly national conversation about race, guns, and more. What started as a local news story has, thanks in large part to Internet outrage, become an unavoidable, albeit unresolved, story covered everywhere from leftist blogs to CNN and the New York Times.

Over the weekend, police released eight 911 calls related to the case, sparking a new round of press attention. In the recordings, Zimmerman, who called the police nearly 50 times in the last year, can be heard saying, "This guy looks like he's up to no good or he's on drugs or something." Martin, he said, had "his hand in his waistband. And he's a black male ... Something's wrong with him. Yup, he's coming to check me out. He's got something in his hands. I don't know what his deal is." He added, "These assholes, they always get away."



The dispatcher tells Zimmerman not to follow Martin, but in subsequent calls from neighbors, a struggle can be heard, followed by a gunshot. Mother Jones has a very detailed rundown of the case, and the tangential issues it raises, including, but not limited to, Florida's self-defense laws, the checkered past of the Sanford police, gun control, and potential federal government involvement.

A petition from Martin's family to the local D.A. has been signed online more than 400,000 times, and received a huge boost this weekend as the media homed in on the disturbing details. The New York Times reported on the story for two straight days in its national news section, in addition to a Saturday column by Charles Blow. "This case has reignited a furor about vigilante justice, racial-profiling and equitable treatment under the law," Blow wrote, "and it has stirred the pot of racial strife."

USA Today and the Washington Post also featured detailed reports over the last few days, as did both New York City tabloids. Local Florida publications have been on the story since the beginning, although they lack the reach of the nation's biggest newspapers. But before it was in the hands of influential columnists, the story had already become unavoidable online. As early as March 8, Huffington Post reporter Trymaine Lee was spreading the story, following up seven times since. The site now has a dedicated section and banner for "The Trayvon Martin Tragedy."

The details behind Martin's death have spread socially too. "Trayvon Martin didn't die so we can create a race war, he died so we can promote better understanding," Russell Simmons tweeted, pointing to a Facebook page with thousands of followers. Following suit, Google traffic has skyrocketed in the last few days:
 
And Martin has become a fixture on cable news, as well — with one exception: The progressive blog Think Progress reports that through this afternoon, CNN had dedicated 41 segments to the killing, compared to MSNBC's thirteen, and just one on Fox News. Political implications aside, this story is now officially too big to ignore.

Update: Asked about the shooting this afternoon, White House spokesman Jay Carney said, "We here in the White House are aware of the incident, and we understand that the local FBI office has been in contact with the local authorities and is monitoring the situation." He added, "Our thoughts and prayers go out to Trayvon Martin's family, but obviously we're not going to wade into a local law enforcement matter."

The conservative media isn't covering the story and white supremacists online praised the shooter. This is what we're living in as American citizens. Florida has passed a controversial law called "Stand Your Ground". A firearm owner can use deadly force if the person felt threatened by an alleged attacker. Also did the shooter utter a "racial slur" while on the phone with the police dispatcher? The controversial phrase "fucking coons" was played and they can't confirm or deny it but it's clearly a slur in the video posted below.




There were more 911 tapes. The witness.



As of October 1, 2005, Florida became a "Stand-your-ground" state. The Florida law is a self-defense, self-protection law. It has four key components:
  1. It establishes that law-abiding residents and visitors may legally presume the threat of bodily harm or death from anyone who breaks into a residence or occupied vehicle and may use defensive force, including deadly force, against the intruder.
  2. In any other place where a person “has a right to be,” that person has “no duty to retreat” if attacked and may “meet force with force, including deadly force if he or she reasonably believes it is necessary to do so to prevent death or great bodily harm to himself or herself or another to prevent the commission of a forcible felony.”
  3. In either case, a person using any force permitted by the law is immune from criminal prosecution or civil action and cannot be arrested unless a law enforcement agency determines there is probable cause that the force used was unlawful.
  4. If a civil action is brought and the court finds the defendant to be immune based on the parameters of the law, the defendant will be awarded all costs of defense.
Once again, Republicans caters to the extremes. They're busy wrapping their asses and eventually their necks in preparedness/defense of these culture wars. This firearm law is a prime example of the Republicans and its allies in the conservative movement catering the gun lobbyist groups such as Gun Owners of America and the National Rifle Association. These laws abashedly give a gun owner authority to shoot and kill an apparent threat without even posing an imminent threat. Picture this if this was a white person being killed by a Black watch captain and the "stand your ground" defense was used. It's a shame though, a young life cut and another fearing that his future is uncertain. If the law doesn't get him, he'll forever be ridiculed by the media or the family of this young teenager.
