The fatal shooting of an unarmed protester by a white bar owner sparked unrest in Omaha. The George Floyd protests continue in the country. |
It's time to hold county district attorneys accountable. It's time to change the status quo in criminal justice. It's time to stop the loose and unfiltered gun laws that allow people to legally kill individuals just because they "scared" them.
It's going down.
The city of Omaha, Nebraska had issued a curfew for the city that was activated between 8pm until 7am. After a night of unrest in regards to the fatal police killing of George Floyd and the recent shooting of a 22-year old man outside a downtown bar has sparked unrest.

Last night, here in Omaha, a 22 year old black protestor James Scurlock was murdered on video by a white supremacist business owner who had been hurling the N-word at protestors all night.— Revolutionary Left Radio (@RevLeftRadio) May 31, 2020
The cops detained the killer Jake Gardner, but *then released him*.

This is the video evidence presented by Kleine/CO's office on the shooting of #JamesScurlock:— Alec Rome (@RomeForReal) June 1, 2020

James Scurlock was shot outside The Hive Lounge by the owner of the establishment. The Douglas County prosecutor refused to criminally charge the owner of murder because he cited "self-defense" despite the owner was allegedly agiating protesters. The owner has another bar called The Gatsby.
The owner is a supporter of Donald J. Trump and has a history of racially offensive practices at his establishments and on social media.
The shooting happened on Saturday night during the first round of protests.
Protesters looted and vandalized the shooter's bars. |
Folks caught on film a brief altercation between the white man and protesters. Within seconds, the white man flashes a firearm. He is quickly restrained and while on the ground, he fires two shots and it hit Scurlock in his neck.
Scurlock was rushed to the local hospital and later passed away.
The white man was detained by the police, questioned and later released. The district attorney declined to prosecute the white man because he acted in "self-defense" despite instigating, brandishing a firearm and was looking to start trouble.
Douchebag shooter is a Trump loving bigot. |
"It is a senseless death, a loss of a young man's life. It shouldn't have happened. This decision may not be popular and may cause more people to be upset.I would hope that they understand that we're doing our job to the best of our ability and looking at the evidence and the law....It can't be based on emotions, it can't be based on anger, it can't be based on any of those things," he said in a presser.
"Deadly force can only be used if someone is in fear of their own life or serious bodily injury and they don't feel like they can retreat safely," Kleine said. "Even if they are mistaken, if their beliefs have a reasonable basis, it's justifiable for them to use deadly force."
He said despite the remarks by the white man on social media, the video and clear evidence of the guy instigating, Kleine won't indict this scum.
"He says, 'I was in fear for my life so I fired the shot,''' Kleine said about the shooter.
During Sunday's unrest, protesters torched the bars and called for Kleine to be removed from office.
The lawyer for James Scurlock's family, State Sen. Justin Wayne said that if this was a Black man, the prosecutor would have criminally charged him with murder with the quickness.
Caught on film the shooting. The shooter confronts James at a corner. An altercation then two shots fired. |
He said that the shooter had an expired concealed weapon license.
The prosecutor condemned the local leaders for calling it a "state-sponsored cold-blooded murder" and said that in the video he didn't hear the shooter call protesters a bunch of "NIGGER LOVERS."
The Daily Beast reported that the shooter is a 38-year old manchild. He's an ex-Marine.
He and his 68-year old father who co-owned the other bar were upset that protesters throw rocks at their windows.
The father confronted protesters and blamed them for the damages. They started shouting and one shoved the guy. That's when the manchild reacted with the "fear of his life" bullshit. Yeah, brandishing a firearm and throwing a N-TAP.
This manchild had been arrested on assault and battery charges. He failed to tell cops he was armed.
The shooter with Donald Trump, Jr. |
Then he was caught with reckless driving. He was also carrying a firearm and failed to acknowledge that. He was given another misdemeanor for the encounter and traffic citations.
The manchild is a self-described Libertarian conservative. He stirred controversy in the city.
He was upset that transgender Americans wanted to use restrooms that matches the gender. He said that "Trannys should have their appendage wacked off before they ever use a women's restroom."
"I'm asking transgender folk to use the unisex...bathroom," he said to the local junk food media. "I don't think it's a big ask."
The manchild deactivated his social media so I couldn't obtain pictures of him and his family.
However, those who managed to obtain information shows him standing with Donald J. Trump and posting offensive memes about progressives, Black Lives Matter and Democrats in general.
The Hive has also been the target of several complaints on social media that it discriminated against Black patrons. One woman claimed the establishment denied her Black husband from entry but allowed her and her White brother to enter the establishment.
The Nebraska State Liquor Authority warned the manchild about practices. The bars were close to losing their liquor licenses because of failure to cooperate with the law when they reported an alcoholic fueled fight outside the establishment.
Kleine is a Democratic Party prosecutor who ran unopposed in 2018. He needs to be removed from office and replaced with a prosecutor.
Under Nebraska law, a lawful gun owner can use deadly force if they believe their life was in danger.
Okay, so I go chasing after the protesters, get into a heated confrontation, brandish a firearm and commit a murder because they tried to pin me down.
I got it.
White privilege.
Prosecutor declines to indict shooter in weekend shooting. |
The status quo of the gun culture. Now is not the time to talk about gun violence!
If there were more security guards and more civilians (aka the good guy) with a gun.......
They learn how to use firearms from watching (or listening) to gangsta rap.
They watch violent movies.
They don't have fathers or mothers in their lives and it results in them committing criminal acts.
Look at his history with police....
If he wasn't supposed to be doing that action....
Look at his history with police....
If he wasn't supposed to be doing that action....
Blah, blah, blah....
Moments of silence, street memorials, naming of public places, saying "Your heart goes out to...," lowering of flags and hashtags are platitudes. They are a huge waste of time. It's a man-made crisis created by a lazy ass government. They are enabling this. Donald J. Trump, Congress and the National Rifle Association are a bunch of lily-livered cowards. They are numb to gun violence.
The "good guy" with a firearm is the most dangerous person to have a firearm. Matter of fact, the NICE GUYS are often the ones who are spurned by society. Bad relationships, losing your job, jealousy over promotions, family feuds and racism are typical NICE GUY issues.
NICE GUYS ARE THE MOST DANGEROUS INDIVIDUALS WITH A FIREARM.
THE NICE GUY GETS SPURNED BY SOCIETY. THEY TAKE REVENGE ON SOCIETY.
RESTRAINING ORDERS ARE JUST A PIECE OF PAPER. THEY WILL NOT (I REPEAT) STOP A "MAD" INDIVIDUAL FROM OBTAINING A FIREARM.
Don't you just want to scream!?
Scream in the faces of these damn lawmakers whenever they offer their "thoughts and prayers" to every fucking mass shooting in the United States. They will offer their condolences and say a word vomit how they sympathize with the deceased. Some here will tell us that "now isn't the time to talk." Others will say that "the NRA has too much influence on gun laws."
We will talk about this for a few days and then we're off to another controversy. The next controversy would either be something done by Trump, a politician, an entertainer or we will experience another mass shooting. The next mass shooting will be even worse than the last one.
James Scurlock's life mattered. |
Every time these folks offer "thoughts and prayers," "their condolences," "their hearts going out to," and "their apologies," they are not sincere. For every naming of a road, park, bench, building and holiday, it won't matter to the community. For every time they lower flags, offer moments of silence and candlelight vigils, we just offer "feel good-isms."
The website Officer Down is a memorial to those who were killed in the line of duty. Those who don't get their names mentioned in the junk food media. Also the website the National Gun Violence Memorial also keeps record of the many individuals killed by gun violence.
We have mass shootings in the United States everyday. We are the only country in the world that continues to do nothing about this. Donald J. Trump, Congress, the National Rifle Association and agitators in the junk food media have moved on from dealing with this. They're too busy sniping over partisan blame games. With Trump being impeached while in office, he's unlikely to focus on gun violence.
Who scares you the most? |
It never happens in your community.......! Until it does! Every community in the United States will eventually have a legacy. A legacy of tragedy. A mass shooting will affect your town, your family and your life. So I don't want to hear that bullshit about how "guns save lives." They don't. The only thing that survives a gun shooting is the gun.
FOR EVERY BAD COP, THERE WILL BE A DEAD COP!
I DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING ON THE INTERNET OR THE COP'S VERSION.
GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES.
THERE IS NO GOD!
GOD IS NOT FIXING THIS!
We haven't forgotten about the many mass shootings in the United States. COVID-19 doesn't stop individuals from picking up firearms and killing others.
When it comes to "stand your ground" laws does it work for armed Black shooters?
