Detroit Metro Police Debate Whether They Should Charge Cashier For Locking Victims Inside With An Active Shooter!

Detroit shooting inside a gas station. The cashier locked the victims inside.

Most gun owners purchase their firearms legally. So this argument about criminals getting firearms falls flat. Even those with "mental illness" obtain firearms. The far right can't get it through their shit for brains heads that guns are the leading cause of death in the United States. 

Mass shooting in Detroit led to a victim being killed. It was the fault of an angry terrorist and an angry cashier who had the audacity to trap the victims inside an Exxon gas station. The shooter would ended up fleeing. He took off in a family member's car then went to a motel to have sex with a hooker before he was caught.

It happen this week and the Wayne County prosecutors are currently debating on whether they should criminally charge the cashier for reckless endangerment. 

The shooter is being charged with murder and attempted murder.

The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

It all began over an argument over credit card decline over a measly $4 worth of groceries.

So the cashier is upset and he decides to push the panic button to lock the shooter and three other men inside. The shooter getting more agitated stated that he will shoot the victims if the cashier don't unlock the doors.

In video footage, you hear the men plead with the cashier to open the door and let them go. One even thought the shooter was bluffing. Turns out he was not bluffing.

The shooting occurred Saturday (May 6) at 3 a.m. in the 12800 block of West McNichols when Samuel Anthony McCray, 27, attempted to make a purchase inside the gas station.

No remorse.

Prosecutors say the clerk, behind protective glass, argued over four dollars worth of items with McCray as he locked the store’s door, trapping the three innocent customers inside with the shooter.

Prosecutors say McCray clarified that he would shoot the three innocent customers if the clerk did not unlock the door.

Security footage showed the three customers begging the clerk to let them out, but the door remained locked before the three victims were shot.

McCray shot three patrons of the store, according to prosecutors. Gregory Karlos Samuel Fortner-Kelly, a 37-year-old Detroit father of three, was killed. His friend, David Langston, 37, and another patron survived their gunshot wounds.

Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy said the clerk finally unlocked the door after the three people were shot, and McCray fled. He was found and arrested Sunday.

During McCray's arraignment in 36th District Court on Wednesday morning, prosecutors said the incident was captured on Project Green Light surveillance cameras.

The clerk and McCray argued after he attempted to leave the store, McCray became increasingly angry and the clerk refused multiple pleas from the other customers to unlock the door, prosecutors said.

McCray then allegedly began to argue with Fortner-Kelly. McCray told him he would "put one in the head" before pulling out a gun and shooting him and the other two patrons, prosecutors said.

The gas station owners condemned the shooter. They also said that the actions of the cashier were reckless. They ended up losing their business license because of this. 

Greg Fortner-Kelly was killed.

But in a statement, they company thanked the Detroit Metro Police and Michigan State Police for catching the shooter. They also called for gun reform.

"Mr. Gregory Karlos Samuel Fortner-Kelly was an outstanding young man and leader who was a victim of a heinous and senseless crime," the company said in the statement. "SMM Mobil wants to thank the Michigan State Police and Detroit Police Department in cooperation with community organizations like Crime Stoppers for the swift apprehension of the suspect who committed this tragic and senseless act of violence further proving a need for stricter gun control laws and community unity."SMM Mobil is a participant in the Green Light program and has supported all Detroit Police initiatives to insure safer streets in our community. SMM Mobil has spoken with several community activists and has committed to help the families in any way we can in this difficult time of need. We are devastated by this horrific tragedy and will do all we can to assist and aid in the investigation. Our efforts to obtain a Business License in the City of Detroit is an ongoing process that is currently in motion."

According to the far rightWhite shooters are mentally ill. Black shooters are unrepentant criminals. Gay shooters are active groomers. Muslim shooters are terrorists. Hispanic and Asian shooters are illegal immigrants. Almost all mass shooters are registered Democrats because they have liked one thing common to the left. Of course, they often share disinformation by using the "Sam Hyde" meme as a way to denounce most mass shooters being white. They say a white person should "protect" from protesters and use of firearms are justified. They say if a shooter is active military or a veteran who supports conservative causes, they are considered a "heroes" and use of firearms are justified.

The Republicans usually amplify white victims. Anytime a person of color kills a white victim, it is often wall-to-wall coverage on Fox and they force it into national news. White shooters are given glowing profiles about their perfect lives and how friends noticed something but refused to do something. When it comes to Black shooters, automatic vilification. They don't see mental illness. They see it as gang violence, allegedly fatherless homes, Democratic policies or the need for more firearms. The far right and Republicans exploit gun violence in the Black community for culture wars and racism.

Republicans solutions are more guns, blame others for America's social ills and defect from accepting reality.

Every community in the United States will eventually have a legacy. A legacy of never ending tragedy. Gun violence, extremism, monkeypox and COVID-19 will affect your town, your family and your life. So I don't want to hear that bullshit about how gun reform is taking away your rights to own firearms.

I don't want to hear that protesting against police killing people of color is hate on cops in general. I don't want to hear talk about the coronavirus being a myth.

When you hear folks say "gun rights," what they really mean is that its white privilege. This good guy with a gun nonsense has to end. The cops didn't do nothing when children were shot inside a school. A security guard was shot dead trying to protect shoppers. A cop accidentally shot his own. The good guy who tried to stop a bad guy is outgunned and a part of the rule #3.

Remember #3 means: The "good guy with a gun" better be prepared to die if they want to stop a shooter.

I don't want to hear folks say masks and vaccine mandates impede their freedoms. It prevents a deadly outbreak from spreading. If you want to die from the coronavirus, that's on you. We lost over 1 million people from the coronavirus.

I don't want to hear the shit about guns saving lives. Cause a bullet does not have eyes and it's always likely gonna hit a target. These folks seem to not get it. These incidents are a tragic part of American history. Thoughts and prayers and your heart going out to the victims is not enough. It quite frankly is an insult. I am also tired of scapegoating Black on Black crime, Chicago, Baltimore and Democratic mayors for the nation's obsession to be numb to gun violence. You pretty much enable this nonsense by deflecting.

President Joe Biden is trying to curb gun violence. However, he has no support from Republicans. Most Democrats and America are for gun control measures. However one Democrat and one independent who caucuses with the Democrats in the Senate refuse to change the filibuster rules and its holding us back.

The National Rifle Association is always pushing against it. They will not relinquish from the narrative that guns are not saving lives. The Republicans aided by a fickle junk food media are openly encouraging anarchy and disruption in a desperate attempt for the Republicans to win back Congress and the White House. These agitators are calling for Biden to curb crime but will not help him. They want more guns on the street. It makes no sense.

So in closing, expect more.

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
