Walgreens Condemn Cashier Shooting A Pregnant Woman Accused Of Shoplifting!

Cashier shot an alleged shoplifting who was pregnant.

Nashville, Tennessee. 

Okay, I get it. Shoplifting is frustrating. People who steal from stores often do it to survive.

Stores shutter out of predominantly Black and Hispanic communities because of theft.

Food deserts exist due to big box retailers leaving the city.

Yeah, they're criminal organizations that do high end shoplifting. Many of these incidents often have repeat offenders. Some are either poor, homeless, addicted to drugs and just in it for thrills. But it should not result in death.

A man working for Walgreens shot at a woman who was seven months pregnant after he accused her of shoplifting. He confronted the woman and her friend. An altercation led to him getting maced. Instead of getting license plates and calling the police, he pulled out his firearm and shot at the woman's vehicle numerous times. The woman was hit and the medics had to perform an emergency C-section. The woman and her child are in critical condition. 

Nashville Metro Police are investigating. The cashier is claiming self defense. But for property theft that is not a home, it will not be considered self defense.

The preliminary investigation of the shooting shows that 21-year-old Mitarius Boyd, the Walgreens team leader at that store, was informed by coworker that two females were stealing items from the store. Boyd told police he saw the women putting items into a shopping cart and personal bag before exiting the store without paying.

Boyd also told officers that he was recording the women with his cell phone as he followed them out of the store and to the vehicle they were unloading the items into. The report from Metro police says Boyd went to the back of the vehicle where the women were when one of them began spraying mace at him.

Boyd says he pulled out a semi-automatic pistol as he was being maced and began firing shots, claiming he was in fear because he didn't know if they were armed.

The women took off in the car, and Boyd called 911 from inside the Walgreens store.

Travonsha Ferguson, 34, was shot during the altercation and taken to General Hospital by the other woman, who drove away after dropping her off and remains unidentified by police.

Boyd cooperated with detectives during the investigation. Investigators seized his gun used in the shooting and have taken possession of his cell phone.

Detectives will share the results of their investigation with the District Attorney's office to determine if Boyd will face charges.

Walgreens provided the following statement Thursday in regards to the shooting: "The safety of our patients, customers and team members is our top priority, and violence of any kind will not be tolerated at our stores. We take this matter seriously and are cooperating with local authorities."

Every community in the United States will eventually have a legacy. A legacy of tragedy. Gun violence, 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.

Cashier had a history of temperament issues.

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.

Sweet Sixteen Massacre: Mass Shooting In Dadeville, Alabama!

A young girl's party ruined. She loses her brother and five friends to senseless gun violence. The latest mass shooting in Dadeville, Alabama.

Another deadly mass shooting. This is the 193th mass shooting.

Graphic image in posting. Take discretion.

New Colin Flaherty-like creatures emerges. Just when you thought the noise of racial arsonists would disappear, more white extremists devoting their lives to concern trolling Black on Black violence. This bot account is literally showing images of dead Black teens.

So obviously, the far right will obsess with Black on whatever violence. Not gun violence, America's biggest crisis.

In the city of Dadeville, Alabama, a mass shooting at a sweet sixteen birthday party. Four people are dead and another community is rocked by the number one threat in the United States.

Gov. Kay Ivey, President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL), Sen. Katie Britt (R-AL) and the U.S. Representatives from Alabama were notified of this mass shooting. They will do the usual "thoughts and prayers" and "our hearts goes out to" as well as the Republicans saying that "now it's not the time to talk" bullshit.

These people don't have mental illness. They are calculated and prepared. It happened to be a moment where they have the opportunity to take out lives. There's no sickness in the head. Most mass shooters legally obtain their assault rifles without little background checks. They have likely no criminal history and they are willing to use the assault weapon in the only thing it's good for: Killing numerous lives.

Again, having more security, teachers being armed and offering safe rooms are not solving the problem.

THE NICE GUY IS THE MOST DANGEROUS PERSON WITH A FIREARM. THOSE WHO ARE SPURN BY RELATIONSHIPS, THE WORKPLACE, SOCIETY IN GENERAL WILL SEEK REVENGE BY TAKING OUT LIVES. THEY WANT TO BE RECOGNIZED FOR THEIR ACHIEVEMENTS OF MASSACRING THEIR FELLOW HUMAN BEING.

THE JUNK FOOD MEDIA AND POLITICIANS ADD FUEL TO THE FIRE BY AMPING UP POLARIZING RHETORIC. 

An active shooter doesn't care about the politics, race, gender, sexuality, nationality, religion, your finances, your family, your plans that day, your successes, your failures, and most importantly, your life.

The shooter is motivated within seconds to take out as many people as he/she can.


What to do to protect your life.

1. Run - If you hear sounds like firecrackers, popping sounds or suspicious activities around a large gathering (i.e. malls, stores, clubs, public gatherings), if you can flee, run away from the shooter. Do not run in a straight path of the sight. Move around and zig-zag if possible to keep yourself out the line of fire. It's best to not film a shooter commiting the act. If you are willing to risk your life for a viral video, more power to you but its best to stay out of the line of fire by running away.

2. Hide - If you are involved in an active shooting, you must barricade yourself in a room and keep doors locked, lights off, phones on silent. Do not go into restrooms, lockers and kitchens. Those are most likely places where shooters often go. If you can barricade a room to prevent a shooter from getting in, it eliminate the opportunity for the shooter to get through. Make sure you keep your voice low when you're involved in mass shooting. Call 9-1-1 if you can.

3. Fight - If you are willing to risk your life or willing to film the incident, you have no choice but to fight. Make sure you grab something that is powerful enough to disarm a shooter. Do not confront a shooter in the midst of sight. Make yourself not visible if you're trying to fight. Do not think being a "good guy with a gun" is going to stop a bad guy. The cops don't see good guys trying to stop bad guys. They see active shooters and they will shoot anyone who is armed regardless of the matter. If you're ready to fight, be prepared to die. It's best to not be easily seen if you're trying to stop a shooter. If you're a conceal carry and attempt to disarm an active shooter, you are willing to sacrifice your life to save lives. You are willing to go hero, you could die a hero or an idiot.

According to the far right: White shooters are mentally ill. Black shooters are unrepentant criminals. Gay shooters are active groomers. Muslim shooters are terrorists. Hispanics and Asians 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.

On April 15, a mass shooting occurred in Dadeville. More than 20 people were shot, and four people died. The shooting took place at a 16th birthday celebration, and most of the victims were teenagers. The shooting took place at the old Dadeville bank, at 220 N. Broadnax St, which had been converted into the Mahogany Masterpiece Dance Studio in 2021.

"The investigation is a result of a shooting which occurred at approximately 10:34 p.m. near the 200 Block of Broadnax Street in Dadeville, located in Tallapoosa County. Currently, there have been four confirmed fatalities and multiple injuries," ALEA said. 

"The following agencies responded to the scene and are currently assisting with the investigation: The Dadeville Police Department, Tallapoosa County Sheriff’s Office, Bureau of Alcohol, the Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) and the 5 Circuit District Attorney’s Office. Nothing further is available as the investigation is ongoing."


Local officials gave few details about the incident at their initial press conference besides confirming the shooting unfolded at a birthday party.  

The White House told Fox News that Biden has been briefed on the shooting in Dadeville. 

"The White House is closely monitoring and has been in touch with local officials and law enforcement to offer support," the statement added.

"This morning, I grieve with the people of Dadeville and my fellow Alabamians. Violent crime has NO place in our state, and we are staying closely updated by law enforcement as details emerge," Ivey tweeted Sunday morning. 

Officials have not revealed the exact number of surviving victims, but a photo taken by a witness showed the bodies of at least six teenagers on the ground, according to BNO News.

According to the outlet, a witness at the scene said the total number of victims was higher than six, including multiple people who died at the scene. The witness observed white sheets covering the bodies.

Someone shared death.
A photo posted to Twitter shows multiple families gathered outside a local hospital following the incident.

Susan Foy, the Chief Marketing Director of Russell Medical Center in Alexander City, located about 18 miles from Dadeville, called the incident a "horrific tragedy." 

She confirmed to Fox News the hospital treated multiple victims and released them. Several victims with gunshot wounds have had to be transferred to other hospitals to better tend to their specific wounds/injuries. Of the victims treated at the medical center, she had no word on any fatalities. Foy would not get into ages of victims or a specific number. The hospital is a small, rural facility with just 81 beds. It’s not rare to transfer patients to other facilities that have access to more specialists. 

Fox News Digital also has reached out to the Dadeville Police Department and the Tallapoosa County Sheriff's Office for comment. 

Officials have not said if any arrests have been made in connection with the shooting.

You're not safe in the school, the concert, the bank, the hospital, the church, the casino, the bus station, the subway, the light rail train, the buses, the malls, the local big box store, the political rally, the protest rally, the women's center for reproductive surgeries, the mosque, the synagogue, the state buildings, the workplace, the gas station, the family picnic, the food truck rally, the funerals, the birthday parties, the graduations, the wedding, the televised events, the sporting events and many more events that have some terrorist with a firearm. Domestic violence, suicide, racism, culture war inspired, politically motivated and international operatives inspired are types of gun violence.

With Republicans in charge of the House of Representatives, the only thing they'll offer to every mass shooting is "thoughts and prayers", "our hearts going out to", "the good guy with a gun", and their most common phrase "now it's not the time to politicize these tragedies."

Use the hashtag #ignorethenoise whenever you deal with folks who embrace this.

The ban of semiautomatic rifles and bump stock assortments has always been a a problem. 

Republicans refuse to support the ban of these type of weapons.

Every community in the United States will eventually have a legacy. A legacy of tragedy. Gun violence, 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.

Young teen loses brother to gun violence.

Deadly Sunset: Mass Shooting In Louisville!

Aftermath. A series of mass shootings in Louisville. The shootings happened only a week after the Old National Bank mass shooting.

Two more mass shootings. This is the 192th mass shooting. 

New Colin Flaherty-like creatures emerges. Just when you thought the noise of racial arsonists would disappear, more white extremists devoting their lives to concern trolling Black on Black violence. This bot account is literally showing images of dead Black teens.

So obviously, the far right will obsess with Black on whatever violence. Not gun violence, America's biggest crisis.

Gov. Andy Beshear, President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) and the Kentucky U.S. Representatives were notified again. Another deadly mass shooting in Louisville, days after a white extremist murdered five bank employees.

These people don't have mental illness. They are calculated and prepared. It happened to be a moment where they have the opportunity to take out lives. There's no sickness in the head. Most mass shooters legally obtain their assault rifles without little background checks. They have likely no criminal history and they are willing to use the assault weapon in the only thing it's good for: Killing numerous lives.

Louisville mayor getting tired of dealing with mass shootings. He once again call for state and federal lawmakers to do something other than offer prayers.

Police are investigating after 2 people were killed and 4 others injured after shots were fired into a crowd of people in Chickasaw Park on Saturday night.

Calls came in around 9 p.m. on reports of a shooting at the park, according to Louisville Metro Police spokeswoman Alicia Smiley.

Officers responded and found two people shot and killed at the scene and four others who had been injured in the shooting.

The four injured victims were taken to University Hospital. One victim is in critical condition, while the other three victims’ conditions are currently unknown.

No other details on the victims were available.

“This is frustrating,” LMPD Deputy Chief Paul Humphrey said. “This is very frustrating. I know Monday was a very high profile event, but for LMPD, for EMS, for (Louisville) Fire, University Hospital… for this community, this is every night.”

Police said there were reports that hundreds of people were inside the park at the time of the shooting.

LMPD’s Homicide Unit is handling the ongoing investigation. There are no suspects.

Two people are dead and one has been hospitalized after a shooting in the Old Louisville neighborhood Saturday morning, according to the Louisville Metro Police Department.

LMPD responded to a report of a shooting in the 200 block of East Burnett Avenue just before 4:30 a.m., LMPD spokesperson Alicia Smiley said.

Multiple people shot at Chicksaw Park and the Old Louisville neighborhood.

Officers learned that three people had been shot. One was a man who was pronounced dead at the scene, Smiley said. The other two, a man and a woman, were transported to UofL Hospital.

The man was pronounced dead after arriving at the hospital while the woman remains in surgery. Her condition has not been released at this time, Smiley said.

The Jefferson County Coroner’s Office identified one of the victims as 28-year-old Jamal Malone.

LMPD’s Homicide Unit is handling the ongoing investigation. Officials said the relationship, if any, between the three who were shot is unknown at this time.

These shootings came at the heels of Monday’s mass shooting at Old National Bank in downtown Louisville, where five people were killed and eight people injured, including three LMPD officers.

As of Saturday evening, six patients have been discharged from the hospital, according to UofL Health.

Officer Nickolas Wilt remains in critical condition after being shot in the head responding to Monday’s shooting. One other patient remains in stable and fair condition.

Anyone with any information is asked to call LMPD’s anonymous tip line at (502) 574-LMPD (5673) or use the online crime tip portal.

Another shooting in Louisville.

Did you know that Washed Up 45, Mike Pence, Asa Hutchinson, Nikki Haley, Tim Scott, Kristi Noem, Chris Sununu, Vivek Ramaswamy and Ron DeSantis attended the NRA Convention in Indianapolis?

Anyway, the NRA continues to push asinine arguments against gun control. Republicans seeking endorsement and campaign funds for potential 2024 presidential ambitions flock to this event.

You Notice Most Intelligence Leakers Are......

White man shares classified documents on Discord.

I will say that you will never see a Black man in U.S. military intelligence spill classified or highly secretive documents. I've notice that most of these people who leak U.S. secrets are not people of color.

Anyway, the Republicans are rallying behind a Massachusetts Air National Guard who js accused of spreading intelligence over Discord. To make matters worse, he was a 20-something with military clearance to access U.S. intelligence and surveillance procedures.

He shared that on social media and allowed China and Russia know the moves.

In April 2023, Jack Teixeira was arrested and charged with violating the Espionage Act and with unauthorized removal and retention of classified documents for allegedly removing hundreds and disclosing them on a Discord server.

He signed non-disclosure agreements and took an oath to serve the U.S. and its interests.

Somehow, his frustrations with society or the job managed to put him in a situation where he could be placed in federal time out for LIFE.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) arrested Teixeira at his mother's residence in Dighton. The next day, Teixeira made his first appearance at the U.S. District Court in Boston before a U.S. magistrate judge, and the formal charging document was unsealed. He was charged with two offenses: (1) violating the Espionage Act by retaining and transmitting national defense information without authorization and (2) unauthorized removal and retention of classified information. Attached to the criminal complaint was a supporting affidavit from a special agent of the FBI Counterintelligence Division.

The documents leak began a diplomatic crisis between the U.S. and the Five Eyes, with officials in the United Kingdom, Belgium, Germany, the United Arab Emirates, and Ukraine questioning the U.S. as to how the documents surfaced online. U.S. officials told allies that the Biden administration was investigating the leak. Wendy Sherman, the Deputy Secretary of State, has been tapped to lead the diplomatic response to the leak. U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin stated that "We will continue to investigate and turn over every rock until we find the source of this and the extent of it."

Privileged life ruined.

On the night of Teixeira's arrest, Fox News host Tucker Carlson falsely told viewers that the disclosure of fourteen American special forces members in Ukraine showed that the U.S. is "a direct combatant in a war against Russia. As we speak, American soldiers are fighting Russian soldiers." The insufferable Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) tweeted that Teixeira "told the truth about troops being on the ground in Ukraine." The special forces were not engaged in combat but rather detailed to the U.S. embassy in Kyiv to provide security for VIPs and to assist with oversight of U.S. equipment and supplies being sent to Ukraine.

According to a senior U.S. official, the Biden administration is looking into expanding its monitoring of social media sites as a result of the leak.

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

Return To Seats!

Officials from Nashville and Memphis reinstall Justin Jones and Justin Pearson.

Democratic state lawmakers Justin Jones and Justin Pearson are returning back to their respectable Tennessee House seats after being expelled by Republicans for violations of decor.

Their respective leaders from Nashville and Memphis have reinstated their positions.

They will have to run for reelection in a special election.

Jones and Pearson along with Gloria Johnson stood in solidarity with advocates of gun control after a mass shooting a private school in late March. 

On March 30, thousands of protestors gathered at the Tennessee State Capitol to call for stricter gun control laws. Some children held signs saying "I'm nine" in reference to the age of the children shot. Within the chamber of the capitol, three state representatives, Justin Jones, Justin Pearson, and Gloria Johnson led the public gallery in chants of "no more silence", "we have to do better", and "gun reform now", demanding that lawmakers strengthen gun laws. This protest delayed a hearing on a bill which would expand gun access. The next day the state legislature passed a law allowing private schools to hire school resource officers from police departments to help prevent shootings, effective immediately.

On April 3, Johnson and Jones were stripped of their committee assignments, and alongside Pearson were notified that they could be expelled from the House. House Speaker Cameron Sexton said their actions were unacceptable, breaking rules of decorum and procedure. Jones and Pearson were expelled from the House on April 6, with the vote to expel Johnson failing by a single vote. Within a week, they were reinstated in interim capacities—the Nashville Metropolitan Council unanimously voted to reinstate Jones, and the Shelby County Board of Commissioners unanimous voted to reinstate Pearson. The case garnered national attention.

This whole ordeal spotlights how Republicans enjoy moving on from discussing racism, gun violence and income inequality.

Republicans targeted Black men who dare spoke out against injustice.

Gov. Bill Lee, an ignorant Republican governor made Tennessee a 2nd Amendment friendly state.

Lee signed an executive order Tuesday to tighten the background check process in the state, citing recent "recent tragedies" like the Nashville shooting that left three children and three adults dead at a private religious school. 

The executive order requires responsible parties to ensure that all criminal history and court mental health information is entered into the Tennessee Instant Check System or provided to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation within 72 hours. The executive order also directs those entities to determine how the process for submitting such information can be improved, and report to the governor's office and state legislature within 60 days. 

Lee's executive order said that "recent tragedies in Nashville and throughout our nation have demonstrated the devastating impact of firearms possession by those intending to cause harm to themselves or others and underscore the need for more effective instant background checks" and "effective instant background checks rely on information that is accurate, complete, and submitted in a timely manner."

Lee has also called for state lawmakers to pass a so-called "red flag" law that would enable authorities to temporarily remove guns from people who might endanger themselves and others. While some GOP-led states have passed red flag laws, they remain polarizing among Republicans, some of whom view the laws as limiting individual rights without sufficient due process. After the 2018 shooting in Parkland, Florida, 18 states and D.C. implemented such laws, and a bipartisan gun control bill passed by Congress last year boosted federal funding to incentivize more states to enact their own versions.

Out Of Service!

Deliberately blocking access to a public restroom.

You travel and you end up stopping at a gas station. When you arrive, you notice the gas station's restroom is out of order or perhaps you will need a key or likely they gonna tell you that there are no public restrooms.

Back in the day, many companies made you pay to use the restroom. There are few pay restrooms in the country. In order to deter people from using the restroom, they block access, turn off lights, put signs on the door, lock the doors and make excuses.

Gas stations, laundromats, restaurants and general retail stores in urban areas are not offering public restrooms or placing theft detection devices near restrooms.

Yeah, I detest vandalism and filthy restrooms, but it won't stop me from using them.

Yes, theft happens. I get it. But it should not be a reason for denying access to public restrooms.

Yes, people use drugs, have sex, eat, sleep and defecate in restrooms. That should not be an excuse to deny public restrooms.

Okay, I visited Cincinnati, Indianapolis and Dayton, Ohio gas stations when I have to use the restroom. Some of these gas stations are in urban neighborhoods. When I enter and see the directions to the restroom, I see out of service.


Now you know that is a frustrating thing to walk in to.

But it is a common problem in Black and Brown neighborhoods. And I am angry about it.

Apparently it is legal for companies to deter customers from using public restrooms.

I see this trend as an example of how culture wars impact the bottom line.

Since some are private businesses, they have the right to make the decision.

But companies like Circle K, 7 Eleven, Speedway, Pilot/Flying J/Mr. Fuel and national brands are obligated to serve the needs of the customer. However, several stores play the game.

You Wanna Pardon A Racist Killer, Greg Abbott?

Republicans really want to support this guy.

Revealed. 

The killer who shot a Black Lives Matter protester in Austin is expected to be sentenced.

Gov. Greg Abbott is considering pardoning and commuting the sentence of this killer. But it was a shocking reveal of the killer's social media that showed that he had no remorse for his actions. He literally wanted to start trouble and use the Texas "Stand Your Ground" laws to get off.

According to the far right: White shooters are mentally ill. Black shooters are unrepentant criminals. Gay shooters are active groomers. Muslim shooters are terrorists. Hispanics and Asians 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.

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

A jury has convicted a man who deliberately went to a protest to stir up trouble. He was convicted of murder of a protester in Texas. The District Attorney of Travis County, Texas had enough evidence to prove this was not self defense. The man went to trial, a jury saw the evidence as damning and voted guilty. 

The Travis County Court released a trove of controversial social media posts from this killer.

The Texas Tribune reported the killer, whom Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has pledged to pardon for the murder of an Austin protester, often made racist comments and regularly made clear his desire to kill protesters in the months leading up to Garrett Foster’s death, according to social media posts and texts contained in newly unsealed court documents.

On May 29, 2020, days after George Floyd’s murder by a Minneapolis police officer prompted nationwide protests, the killer sent a text message saying, “I might go to Dallas to shoot looters.”

Two days later, according to the records, the killer said in a Facebook message that when he is in Dallas, “no protestors go near me or my car.”

“Can you catch me a negro daddy,” the other man replied.

“That is what I am hoping,” the killer said.

The court records, released Thursday, contain evidence pulled from the killer’s phone records and social media accounts. Prosecutors had filed the sealed 82-page document in March, but much of it was not brought before jurors. Information depicting a defendant’s character is often not allowed to be introduced while a jury weighs guilt versus innocence, but becomes relevant in a sentencing hearing.

The U.S. Army sergeant also sent racist and anti-Muslim messages before and after Floyd’s death. In April 2020, he sent a meme, which included a photo of a woman holding her child’s head under water in the bath, with the text, “WHEN YOUR DAUGHTERS FIRST CRUSH IS A LITTLE NEGRO BOY,” according to the state’s filing.

A year earlier, he messaged someone on Facebook looking for weekend work for active-duty military.

“To bad we can’t get paid for hunting Muslims in Europe,” he said.

The killer’s defense attorney Clint Broden declined to comment on the newly released court documents.

Legal carry still lead to a death. The killer claimed his life was in danger. He literally went to the protest rally to start trouble.

The killer, who is white, was convicted last week in Travis County in the shooting death of Foster in July 2020. The killer drove his car into a group of protesters, including Foster, a white Air Force veteran. Foster was carrying an AK-47, a legal act in Texas. The killer’s attorneys said at trial Foster raised his rifle, prompting the killer to shoot Foster five times through his car window with his handgun. Witnesses said Foster did not raise his rifle.

The case has become the center of a political firestorm, entrenched in the dangerously divisive rhetoric that often pits police supporters against racial justice advocates. Conservative politicians have rallied to the killer’s side, saying the act was purely self-defense in the face of dangerous protests. They’ve faulted the progressive prosecutor for pursuing the case.

Less than a day after the conviction, Abbott took the unprecedented step of declaring his intent to pardon the killet for the murder, requesting the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles hand him the legally required recommendation as soon as possible.

“Texas has one of the strongest ‘Stand Your Ground’ laws of self-defense that cannot be nullified by a jury or a progressive District Attorney,” Abbott’s Twitter post said, referring to Travis County District Attorney José Garza. “I look forward to approving the Board’s pardon recommendation as soon as it hits my desk.”

When asked if the newly revealed evidence affected the governor’s decision for a pardon recommendation, Abbott spokesperson Renae Eze said “all pertinent information is for the Board of Pardons and Paroles to consider, as this is part of the review process required by the Texas Constitution.”

The killer has not yet been sentenced. He faces between five years or life in prison — unless the parole board and Abbott intervene. The trial court judge will impose his sentence, not a jury, according to Broden.

On Friday, Garza reiterated that his office “continues to maintain that the Board of Pardons and Paroles should consider the entirety of the trial record prior to issuing a final recommendation to the governor.”

“This case is not yet concluded,” he said. “There is going to be even more additional evidence that the judge will hear at sentencing. We’re not even done with this yet.”

Cash App Founder Murdered By Former Ally!

Bob Lee's death was a conspiracy theorist's wet dream. Far right agitators used his death to bash San Francisco leaders.

San Francisco mayor London Breed condemned the killing of Cash App founder Bob Lee. The mayor, sheriff and district attorney also took aim at Fox, Republicans and Elon Musk for spreading misinformation about the murder and the safety of the city.

In the early morning of April 4, 2023, Lee was stabbed in the 300 block of Main Street in the Rincon Hill neighborhood of San Francisco. Police were called to the scene at 2:35 a.m. local time. CCTV footage shows a wounded Lee stumbling to a parked car with its hazard lights on and lifting his shirt to show his wound; the car immediately drove away, after which Lee collapsed on the ground. By the time police arrived on the scene, he was unconscious. He was taken to a local hospital where he died from his injuries at the age of 43.

The suspect was a former ally of Bob Lee.

On April 13, the San Francisco Police Department arrested the killer for the murder of Lee. The killer had previously been working in the technology industry since 2005 and as the owner of his company, Expand IT, since April 2010. While working at the business, Momemi allegedly knew Lee. The killer also had a past criminal history for a DUI misdemeanor in 2004, and both allegedly selling a switchblade and driving with a suspended license in 2011.

Fox and many on the far right often attack San Francisco as an attempt to undermine Democrats, California, the LGBTQ community, Black mayors, House Speaker emeritus Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Gov. Gavin Newsom.

Paul Pelosi was attacked by an extremist in October. The far right and Musk spread vicious rumors about Pelosi. They claim it was a gay lover quarrel. They claimed the extremist was a leftist. They used it as a wedge to attack Nancy Pelosi.

The murder of Lee attracted major attention. The city took a major hit when it came to businesses closing. Walgreens, Target, CVS and Starbucks have closed locations in the city.

Inside Edition has stories about car break ins and bicycle theft.

Chaya Raichik has often targeted San Francisco and claims that the city is Groomer, USA.

Fox is all day culture wars when it comes to crime, gays, Black on whatever violence, progressive policies and Pelosi bashing.

Lee was stabbed by a man near The Bay Bridge. He died of his injuries. The story of Lee's death stroked tensions of possible Black on whatever violence. The incident drove Musk to tweet some reckless comments. Musk left San Francisco and went to Texas. 

Musk talked reckless. And some Republican and far right agitators as well.

After San Francisco Police Chief Bill Scott confirmed that the 38-year-old killer knew Lee, Jenkins switched gears and knocked the Musk's tweets on the tragedy.

San Francisco leaders are getting tired of Republicans bashing their city.

"While we're not going to release any additional facts at this time, I must point out that reckless and irresponsible statements like those contained in Mr. Musk's tweet that assumed incorrect circumstances about Mr. Lee's death serve to mislead the world in their perceptions of San Francisco and also negatively impact the pursuit of justice for victims of crime as it spreads misinformation at a time when the police are trying to solve a very difficult case," she said.

King Charles III Will Have Harry Without Meghan!

Harry will be at his father's coronation but not Meghan.

Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan have a tense relationship with the royal family. It appears it will not die down. The prince will attend the coronation of his father, King Charles III.

Any participation by the couple in King Charles' coronation was far from a given after their controversial announcement three years ago that they would "step back as ‘senior’ members of the Royal Family."

Buckingham Palace and representatives of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex made separate statements, confirming their roles in the May 6 coronation at Westminster Abbey.

Meghan will remain in the United States with her son Archie and daughter Lilibet.

The controversy between the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and the Firm is allegations of racism and misinformation by the tabloids. The Sussexes claim News Corp, Associated Newspapers and other entities have pushed stories to paint Meghan as a cruel person.

They push stories to give a glowing light to the Prince and Princess of Wales, Queen Consort and the King while bashing Harry and Meghan.

The controversy has driven nations that are under the Commonwealth to consider abstraction. Several Caribbean countries are seriously considering leaving the Crown due to the treatment of Meghan and the racist history of the royals.

Tension was always there.

When Queen Elizabeth II passed away, I already knew that Charles would end up being considered a failure. He cheated on the late Princess Diana with numerous women before ended up with his most notable affair, Camilla. Now she will be the Queen. While the United Kingdom is facing economic turmoil, Charles is expected to have a costly coronation and taxpayers will foot the bill. Many see that Charles' cozy relationship with the junk food media and the elites have made him out of touch.

Prince William and Princess Catherine have allegedly planted stories to paint Meghan in a negative light.

People of color and especially Black women view the royal family very negatively.

The treatment of women of color has been a very important topic on our blog. 

Former first lady Michelle Obama, Vice President Kamala Harris, Lizzo, Janet Jackson, Duchess Meghan, Justice Kentaji Brown Jackson, Mikey Guyton and Angel Reese faced attacks from white conservative and liberals. They have endured slanderous claims from the likes of Candace Owens. 

Yes, Owens get attacks from white conservatives and liberals. Even though she plays to this noise of culture wars and attacks on women of color, she is looked down as a buffoon by even some of her far right allies.

It was good Meghan didn't attend. The junk food media would find some phony outrage with it. Even missing the coronation will make racist Brits react in some fashion to blame her for being the reason.

Her son's birthday is on Charles' coronation.

It's Official: The Insufferable Couple!

I would like to solve the puzzle: Two hypocrites in Georgia.

Brian Glenn of Right Side Broadcasting Network moved to Georgia to be closer to his beau, the country's most laziest and controversial lawmaker, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA). She is very insufferable as a lawmaker. She is a white nationalist, conspiracy theorist and a troll. She has no legislative accomplishments and she spends about 15% of her time in the 14th Congressional District of Georgia.

It was true, she cheated on her husband with Glenn. The rouse about a documentary was cover. Greene had divorced her husband, Perry in November 2022. Greene had numerous adultery when she was married. Glenn met her in 2021 and they have been pretty much open about this although they denied it at first.

The two posted on social media.

When she finally returned to her district, she posted a project being built. I guess she came to see her boyfriend's home being built.

Like Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO) and Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO), Greene invited herself to an ethics investigation. They are allegedly using campaign funds for unauthorized spending.

On top of that, Greene hosting a town hall, her first since taking office in 2021.

She wants a town hall voided of protesters and possibly Laura Loomer. 

Loomer still fuming over being passed over by Washed Up 45 is expected to attend her town hall.

Greene has feuded with Boebert, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Rep. Marie Newman (D-IL), Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC), Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY).

Glenn who worked on AM radio, CNN and Newsmax now works as programming manager for RSBN. He divorced his wife and left Texas.
