The Lois Gibson police artist sketch that electrified the national media on the left, and a more accurate rendition of the murderer by iSteve commenter Harry Baldwin on the right.

The New York Times, having run a dozen news stories on the shooting of a little black girl in the Houston area in the hopes that she was murdered by a Great White Defendant, now says that, actually, the story is really boring, so just forget all about it and don’t draw any lessons from yet another media Hate YT fiasco.

It’s kind of like Sabrina Rubin Erdely’s “A Rape on Campus” disaster for Jann Wenner’s Rolling Stone, which turned out to be incredibly boring. It didn’t have anything to do with interesting subjects like, say, ethnic animus, such as who hates whom. Instead, it was all about journalistic methodological miscues and other tedious topics that you would find dull beyond belief. Why do you even care about technical foul-ups like Rolling Stone asserting that a UVA fraternity conducts an annual gang rape on broken glass fraternal initiation. Ho-hum!

So don’t pay any attention to this soporific subject. What could be more boring that that the most influential media property in the world, the New York Times, is out to frame horrific hate crimes upon your personal race, even in the most dubious of circumstances? If you were a real man, you wouldn’t care that the New York Times had been making up insane libels about your race:

Arrest in Jazmine Barnes’s Killing Allays Hate-Crime Fears

By Manny Fernandez, Sarah Mervosh and Mihir Zaveri, Jan. 6, 2019

HOUSTON — It was a face that haunted many people in the nation’s fourth-largest city: The police sketch of the unshaven white man who witnesses and the authorities said had opened fire on a black family in a car the day before New Year’s Eve.

A second grader riding in the car with her mother and three sisters — Jazmine Barnes, 7 — was shot and killed. And the man in the sketch — thinly built, in his 30s or 40s, wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, driving a red pickup — became the focal point of what appeared to be a racially motivated shooting that rattled black residents, elected officials and civil-rights activists in Houston and around the country.

… But it has turned out far differently.

On Sunday, the authorities charged a suspect with capital murder who is not the man in the sketch. He is a 20-year-old African-American man named Eric Black Jr. Investigators with the Harris County Sheriff’s Office said that Mr. Black acknowledged taking part in the shooting, and that Jazmine’s family’s vehicle may not have been the intended target.

“This is most likely a case of mistaken identity,” the Harris County sheriff, Ed Gonzalez, said at a news conference on Sunday. …

The developments in the case took officials and residents by surprise.

After all, who has ever heard of the concepts of “Hate Hoaxes” and “the hunt for the Great White Defendant?” Not New York Times readers, if we can prevent it!

There was widespread relief that Jazmine’s killer was off the street, but there was an acknowledgment that in today’s racially charged climate, nothing is what it seems. The end result, though, was just as tragic: a little girl was dead.

The initial description of the gunman as a white male came from several witnesses, including Jazmine’s teenage sister. With few other clues to go on, that description solidified as the official narrative of the shooting.

And although Sheriff Gonzalez said repeatedly that he did not want to speculate about a motive and could not say whether the shooting was a hate crime, he could not quell the assumptions that people made about the case, fueled by outrage and raw grief for young Jazmine. The notion of a white man opening fire on a black family was too potent for people to ignore, and seemed all too plausible after hate-motivated mass shootings at churches, synagogues and elsewhere in recent years.

As opposed to a few hundred thousand black-on-black murders in recent decades, very few of which got much play in the New York Times, much less black-on-black murders in far off Texas.

“We live in a time where somebody could do something like this based purely on hate or race,” said Shaun King

A.k.a., Talcum X. But not to Google:

Screenshot 2019-01-06 23.12.02

Remember, kids, always report inappropriate predictions! Back to the NYT:

, a civil-rights activist who raised money for a reward in the case and who helped crack it by forwarding a tip about the gunman to the authorities. “That it turned out to not be the case, I don’t think changes the devastating conclusion that people had thought something like that was possible.”

Sheriff Gonzalez said a red pickup truck had indeed come to a stop at a traffic signal next to Jazmine and her family when the shooting happened. But the authorities now believe that the driver — the white man in the sketch — was a bystander.

“This just went down very quickly,” Sheriff Gonzalez said. “When the gunfire erupted — we are talking about small children, they witnessed something very traumatic. And it’s very likely the last thing they did see was that red truck and the driver in that truck.”

Or snitches get stitches, which makes it sound funny, but it’s not. LA Times homicide reporter Jilly Leovy estimated perhaps a dozen witnesses of homicides were murdered each year in South-Central L.A.. That has a big impact on how trustworthy black witnesses’ allegations are. This is one reason so many high-profile cases promoted by BLM types turn out to be factual fiascos.

Lee Merritt, a lawyer who represents Jazmine’s family as well as relatives of several African-American victims of high-profile police shootings, said the arrest of Mr. Black shocked the family, who are preparing for Jazmine’s burial on Tuesday. …

“This New Year’s tragedy deserved the mass attention that it got, and it shouldn’t only be weaponized for political purposes when the suspected killer is white. The whole movement of Black Lives Matter is about the attention and care that is given to people of color in the face of violence.”

Uh, no …

… Research has shown that the accuracy of eyewitness accounts can be undercut by stress and by conditions at the time of a crime. “Eyewitness testimony is the least reliable evidence you can have,” said Lori Brown, a criminologist at Meredith College. People generally try to understand how a traumatic event could have happened by using what they already know about the world, Ms. Brown said, and “unfortunately, we fill in the gaps.”

In other words, they stereotype based on all those cruelly handsome white male criminals on Law & Order and burglar alarm commercials.

… At the sheriff’s news conference on Sunday, Ms. Lee, the congresswoman, said that even though the killing no longer appeared to have been a hate crime, “I certainly hope that people would accept the fear that young mother experienced.”

It was her Lived Experienced that White Racism was to blame, so who are you to dispute that just because it wasn’t true?

iSteve commenter Kyle notes:

Obviously the mother knows who the killer is. She is afraid to rat on the guy because she knows she’ll get killed if the does that. My heart breaks for her.

We have to be a little bit easier on the mom. She isn’t trying to make this into a Haven Moynihan witch hunt, the media is. In fact if the snow flakes covering this story had any street smarts, they’d back off the story a little bit and let her lay low.

None of this media attention is good for her. It’s gonna get her killed.

In 2018 america, “some white guy did it” is the equivalent of “some puerto rican guy did it.

iSteve commenter Jack D writes:

The arrest of Jazmine Barnes’s evil white killer was going to be the opening shot of the 2020 campaign. It was going to be good for a million black votes, it was going to tear down all the remaining Confederate monuments, it was going to sway Texas to the D column by turning out 110% of the black vote. Accordingly, running a dozen stories on this local police blotter item from a distant city was NOT overkill.

Of course, now that the killer is black, well never mind. It will be memory holed and the search for the next great white defendant will resume unabated.

    Hate crime gone wrong, indeed.

    I wonder, did the true perp actually drive a red pickup truck, or was that just a fabrication, added to keep it real.

  2. If commenter Kyle gets the mother’s story right, then good for her, if not for the rest of us. It probably helped get her case solved. I’m not being entirely facetious, as blaming an utterly fictional white guy, if she knew it was someone else, does strike me as more admirable behavior than maintaining a “no snitches” silence. It got the investigation going. She might have even known exactly what she was doing.

    But actually this might be good for the rest of us in the long run, since many who only follow the MSM will catch the complete reversal here. This sort of thing does grow on people.

  3. As opposed to a few hundred thousand black-on-black murders in recent decades, very few of which got much play in the New York Times, much less black-on-black murders in far off Texas.

    Then there’s also this thing called black-on-white murder, of which none dare speak.

    No, this episode isn’t going to open anyone’s eyes. Most people remember the basic outlines–perp sketch, racial killing, protesting blacks, white guy gets away with it.

    Then they move on to whatever the media throw at them next. What’s that you say? Those weren’t the actual, complete facts? Aww, you don’t say.

    WTF is that supposed to mean? And if hate-crimes are worse than other crimes isn’t it actually “less tragic” that it was just a plain old murder rather than super-evil white hate?

    Finally, why does it take three reporters to write this drivel?

    They look like the same guy. The second picture is a closeup with lots of lighting on his face.

    Incidentally, some people assume that Copts must be less exotic looking because they’re Christian, but that’s not necessarily true. There is a common Egyptian Coptic phenotype that resembles Colin Kaepernick and which is more exotic looking than many Muslim Mideasterners.

    The Coptic Pope kind of looks like Cornel West. This is why ignorant blacks in the US end up believing nonsense about Egyptians and others being black.

    On Twitter Stephen Pinker links tho an interview where he gets to dunno on Taleb.

    Lastly, you certainly have your detractor’s, philosophers such as John Gray and Nassim Nicholas Taleb being the most vocal. The data you give is irrefutable but both say progress in a way is really just a matter of perception, that data can lure the mind into mistaken interpretations. Even though John uses a relativist approach, Nassim, more verifiable but very aggressive. How do you respond to your critics …

    The Taleb critique is a different story altogether. It’s very hard to discern a coherent criticism beneath all of the belligerence and macho posturing. If one were to try to uncover a substance of the criticism, it would be that it’s possible for gradually improving trends to coexist with a non-zero probability of a catastrophic event.

    What he doesn’t acknowledge is that I have an extensive discussion in my book on that very possibility, it doesn’t cite him which I think peeved him because the point was made long before he wrote The Black Swan. But the fact that wars and terrorist attacks fall into a statistical distribution with thick tails namely that there is a non-negligible probability of severe events which could be paired with an overall improvement in the average is a point that I acknowledge.

    Particular scenarios for catastrophes are overblown, but it’s undoubtedly true that we have to pay attention to them and there is an extensive discussion in Enlightenment Now on how to reduce the threat of nuclear war and how to reduce the threat of climate change.

    “If commenter Kyle gets the mother’s story right, then good for her”

    I dunno man. I have to dissent from you and Kyle here. This white guy in a pickup seems to have been an actual bystander, not just an obviously fake placeholder to shield the mother from gang retaliation. So in other words, the mother knowingly falsely accused an innocent man of a heinous murder in a lynch mob environment while protecting the actual murderer of her daughter. That’s pretty low. Indeed, were the races reversed, she would now undoubtedly be facing a torrent of abuse as a hateful racist inciter, and her daughter having just been murdered would not be a mitigating factor to critics.

    The local anti-white lynch mob swung into action and influenced the mother’s and daughter’s eyewitness accounts and accounts of other bystanders. But she might not be lying to shield her family from gang retaliation. Because the shooter has already said he made a big boo boo, and shot up the wrong car. This might be more lies, who knows.
    Good luck sorting out the truth with lower class blacks. Too much fantasy and irrationality. The police know this very well. The local police commissioner Gonzalez played this just right by being restrained, probably because he has seen this movie before.

    I wouldn’t lump this in with hate hoaxes. The familiar pattern for them is a relatively low-risk property crime (vandalism) committed by somebody trying to provoke a reaction, typically on a college campus where there’s not that much crime and lots of young people with free time to spend agitating in said reaction. This is a very real & relatively mundane crime that got media attention due to a mistaken witness account. Normally with hate hoaxes nobody witnessed it at all, or if there was a “witness” they’re actually the hoaxer.

    Agreed. My heart does not break for this woman. The girl is dead because of her. The mother put herself and the gang lifestyle above her daughter. Just like the parents of the rest of these high profile dead blacks, she would cashed in on the girl’s death if given the slightest opportunity. Her remaining children will remain at risk because of her association with gang members, and they too will likely be sucked into the lifestyle as adults. The cycle continues with or with out the virtue signaling of whites.

    I’m thinking sure criminals are generally dumb, but that seems borderline retarded, just shooting into a car driven by an adult woman and three children/teens. Or maybe they are borderline retarded. And driving cars, and carrying guns and cellphones, and otherwise camouflaging as functional humans. Or, this mom really is into it up to her ears, and she and her children were intended targets. “Mistaken identity” is a street-smart criminal’s gambit to bargain down from Murder 1.

    French does not play into that approach to, attitude toward, the peoples native to the British Isles. It is exclusively a WASP thing. And it means that WASP Elites can always be counted on to wage culture war against whites they see as not-them.

    There was widespread relief that Jazmine’s killer was off the street, but there was an acknowledgment that in today’s racially charged climate, nothing is what it seems. The end result, though, was just as tragic: a little girl was dead.

    C’mon now, ladies, you can be honest; this end result is more tragic; now a little narrative is dead, too.

    The initial description of the gunman as a white male came from several witnesses, including Jazmine’s teenage sister. With few other clues to go on, that description solidified as the official narrative of the shooting.

    Everybody got that? The official narrative “solidifies” all on its own, with no involvement from Big Media.

    And although Sheriff Gonzalez said repeatedly that he did not want to speculate about a motive and could not say whether the shooting was a hate crime, he could not quell the assumptions that people made about the case, fueled by outrage and raw grief for young Jazmine. The notion of a white man opening fire on a black family was too potent for people to ignore, and seemed all too plausible after hate-motivated mass shootings at churches, synagogues and elsewhere in recent years.

    Gonzalez couldn’t quell the assumptions people made – assumptions widely propagated by Big Media.

    And what’s this “shootings” at “churches” and “synagogues” thing? Shouldn’t that be “shooting,” “church,” and “synagogue”? I.e., all singular? Or have I missed some headlines?

    “That it turned out to not be the case, I don’t think changes the devastating conclusion that people had thought something like that was possible.”

    A (-n un-)surprising number of black kids die that way. You could call them “ricoslayings”.

    Most (15,407, or 59 percent) of the 26,000 childhood gun fatalities since 1999 are homicides. There were 8,102 childhood gun suicides over this period, 1,899 unintentional shooting fatalities and 450 shooting deaths of undetermined intent.

    In other cities where gang violence occurs, members often abide by certain “unwritten codes,” said Christian Bolden, an associate professor in Loyola University New Orleans’ department of criminology and justice. For example, “you do not shoot at people while family members are around or while they’re going to church,” he said. You don’t shoot when children could be in the way.

    New Orleans, though, is different… In New Orleans, gangs are less organized – and that makes them more dangerous… there is a “subculture” among New Orleans gang members that accepts the killing or maiming of bystanders as an intermittent cost of killing a target before the target kills them.

    Anti-Christ Jews have a similar death wish at the heart of their cultural being, which is the reason they always have been drawn to Germanic peoples, which is the reason that Yiddish (the former Jewish international language) is a German language with a few Hebraisms tacked on, and also is the reason the new Jewish international language is English – which has its source in the Germanic dialects of the Saxons and Angles.

    The suspect has confessed that he was gunning for a rival gang member and confused the victim’s car with the car driven by the intended target. So he did not, despite what the mother said, see her beautiful black children and intentionally shoot them.

    Now maybe the gunman is lying but that is what he has confessed. All this speculation about Facebook and snitches getting stitches and so on is just that – speculation. Usually there is fog of war and I would bet you a beer that the gunman was NOT Facebook friends with La Tonsha or whatever her name is – it’s probably just a false rumor.

    I believe that there were others who saw the red pickup truck as well. My guess is that there was a pickup truck driven by a white guy but he was just an innocent bystander and when the shooting started he just gunned it and got the hell out of Dodge. He has not come forward because he knew that despite being completely innocent, being named would totally ruin his life. Even if he was not wrongfully convicted for a murder he did not commit (and there was a strong chance that would happen) his entire life would be put on trial in public and his name would be infamous. So he has wisely kept his mouth shut. There was never any warrant for his arrest and he has no legal obligation to come forward.

Eyewitness accounts are notoriously fallible (despite being burned on the Hippo Campus, Dr. Ford) and must be treated with a large grain of salt. But some eyewitness accounts are too good to check, at least for those seeking to profit from them (“Hands Up. Don’t Shoot!). You have the fog of war – shots are being fired, your little sister lies dead and bleeding next to you. The stress is unimaginable. You catch a glimpse of a white man (whom you are already primed to believe is evil – he looks like the burglar on every TV show and commercial) driving a red pickup truck in the lane beside you. After the shooting, he guns his engine and speeds off as quickly as possible. Your brain puts 2 and 2 together and the evil white guy becomes the shooter in your head. Your mind might even infer a gun into his hand – there were shots and there was a shooter so surely there was a gun. Meanwhile, you don’t see the real shooter at all. You have lit the match but there is a giant pile of tinder around you and there are dozens who should know better eager to stoke the flames of the bonfire (you might call it a bonfire of the vanities) which you have accidentally lit.

    There are other ways to see this, and, of course the Sheriff and the mother could have had different agendas.

    The Sheriff might have let the “white killer” story get out because:

    1. He knew it would make the black killer relax and they would be able to nab him more quickly, and/or

    2. He really wanted to fuck with the New York Times bigly!

    Shawn King is proud to have furthered justice.

    “By mistake” is code for “victim is not criminal”. We don’t need to unpack that. Why would anyone assume that black victims were involved with crime?

    What we have is an unarticulated assumption that black on black crime is just part of Black culture. True that.

    The “innocent victim” is still essential to keep this story from slipping back into the depressing gang narrative.

    Its still a big deal to have a sympathetic victim. The least aware are still happy to have a murder cleared, and to be able to sympathize for a victim instead of the uninspiring criminal justice reform which is inherently depressing. How much do you want to have your big issue contingent on arguing that Willie Horton is a victim.

    Whether or not the mother was involved (and at this point it is nothing but slander – no one has put forth any shred of real evidence that she was, other than the fact that she is black) the child was an innocent victim. Just as some blacks have an apparent need to blame whitey, there seem to be some people here who have a need to paint blacks in the worst possible light without any evidence (I’ll admit that it’s hard to lose money underestimating the depravity of American blacks but they are not 100% gang bangers). I’m guessing that this woman is a typical ghetto momma and no saint but there is nothing in the story that points to her being a gang banger or having invented the red pickup with a white driver. The red truck was in the area – they have surveillance video of it – it was just not involved in the shooting even though she thought it was. The shooter has confessed that he was trying to shoot someone else and I don’t see any reason to doubt him absent better information. I could still be proven wrong but based on what is known now it’s not fair to blame the mother.

    I know it sounds crazy that someone would shoot into a car without being certain that it was the car of their intended victim but then again even the cops do stuff like this. People (especially gang bangers) are dumb and do dumb things all the time. Have you ever tapped someone on the shoulder and then they turn around and it’s not who you thought it was? Oops, sorry, thought you were someone else. These people do the same thing except that they have guns so it’s a bullet instead of a finger tap.

    Yes they really are that dumb and no the mama was not in it up to her ears, based upon what we know now. Maybe I am wrong and you are right but based on what is known now you are jumping to conclusions that are just not supported by the known evidence.

    Mistaken identity” is a street-smart criminal’s gambit to bargain down from Murder 1.

    If the shooter thinks that pleading mistaken identity will reduce the severity of the charges against him, he is sorely mistaken. The question in intentional homicide is whether you intended to kill a human (and in fact killed one), not whether you intended to kill the person whom you actually killed. (“Murder 1” does not exist in Texas – we have 50 states and 50 penal codes and Murder 1 is not part of the terminology in Texas. ) In Texas parlance, you have murder (what you call Murder 1 or Murder in the 1st degree or intentional homicide), capital murder, manslaughter, or criminally negligent homicide. Capital murder is murder plus one more thing – killing a cop, killing more than 1 person, killing in the course of a kidnapping, etc. Unfortunately for the shooter, killing someone under 10 years old is on that list, so not only is he up for murder, he will be on trial for his life, and in Texas they really do execute people.

    After the Holocaust a lot of Jews came to Israel not as committed Zionists but because they had nowhere else to go. And yes many Ashkenazis viewed Sephardic Jews as primitives (in some cases they were right – the Jews of Yemen were just as backward as other Yeminites, which is pretty backwards – on a bad day it’s hard to tell a Yemenite from a Somali from the other side of the gulf of aden, 200 miles away. ) OTOH, the upper class Jews of Cairo and Baghdad put the shtetl dwellers to shame. And think of the British colonists – just because they tended to “go native” and adopt parts of native dress or customs (around the time of the Revolution, white frontiersmen loved to get dressed up in deerskin) didn’t mean that they wanted their daughters to marry an actual native.

If the mother in this case had actually murdered the children and blamed it on a white man, sure, but this seems (based on her statements and also what we know of the perp) to be a case of mistaken identity all around.

    Interestingly I remember reading a retrospective article about Smith’s case and the sheriff involved said she was always the #1 suspect and that they never believed her story. In an effort to get a confession out of her they at one point toyed with printing up a fake newspaper article about a woman who went to prison for murdering her children, got out after a few years and married a rich man, to show her that the punishment wouldn’t actually be that bad.

    BTW, the supposed 50-some years later “confession” by Emmett Till’s victim that she lied is just as hinky.

    The only source is rabid anti-white SJW Timothy Tyson, a philosophical twin to Shaun King, and a person who was a ringleader of the Duke Lacrosse lynch mob. Believing him about the Till case is like listening to, and believing, Kathy Griffin tell a damaging story about Donald Trump.

    Apparently someone here did not care about reading the comments on the previous post about this topic.

    This story is being used to validate a worldview that whites are preying on blacks in the United States. It’s not being merely reported because it initially seemed to be about an event that rarely happens (although white-on-black homicides are rare in the United States, given the size of the white population). I have a feeling you are aware of this.

    Also, how you’re so sure you’re the only one who remembers that someone or other commented here? What you mentioned is not even relevant to anything.

    Texas uses lethal injection, not the electric chair. And if Texas goes brown blue they will do away with the death penalty, of course. Texas is full of people who are constrained by it and so crime will go up.

    When Texas does go blue, the business climate will get rough, and so a lot of businesses may move out. If you have to put up with ruinous taxation you might as well be someplace nice weatherwise like California or near the seat of power (the NY-DC axis) so it will be Mexicanized rapidly: oil will be the only profit source, companies like TI will head out.

    @RationalExpressions

    They have (blurry) security camera footage of a red pickup in the vicinity. There really was a truck, it just had nothing to do with the shooting. The real shooter was in a black sedan which they never even saw. However, La Porsha or whatever her name is not only saw the truck and white driver but she imagined seeing him aim and shoot at her beautiful black babies execution style. People are capable of forming memories of things that didn’t really happen. You see and hear some things – a truck pulls up beside you driven by a white guy, shots ring out , and your mind connects the dots and fills in the blank spots in your memory of the event.

  207. Note: all bolding done by me

    Something in the NYT article:

    “The initial description of the gunman as a white male came from several witnesses, including Jazmine’s teenage sister. With few other clues to go on, that description solidified as the official narrative of the shooting.”

    …and who else noticed this statement from the Sheriff that protects the narrative later in the story:

    ” “This just went down very quickly,” Sheriff Gonzalez said. “When the gunfire erupted — we are talking about small children, they witnessed something very traumatic. And it’s very likely the last thing they did see was that red truck and the driver in that truck.” ”

    It reads like he had statements from more than one witness of differing ages.

    So did the teenage sister say the shooter was black and was ignored in favor of small children who claimed to see a white shooter?

    Or could any teenager plausibly be described as “…small children”?

    Kevin Michael Grace wondered how many men it would take to stage a coup in the U.K. He figured 5k.

    Grace and Goad about God is good video. Grace must have the grace of God and the wisdom not to be goaded by Goad into a grudge match that involves overly harsh words. I like Goad and Grace because they prove that older guys can have some energy and dynamism too. I say Grace and Goad have a wonderful amount of spirit, although Goad might not think in those spiritual terms.

    The Vonnegut finger to God is horribly tempting, and Goad seems to have a lot of fun doing it.

    Both Grace and Goad might also understand that many European tribes and clans had brawls amongst themselves to determine who would be the leader in battle.

    I’ll let the mystery be, to borrow a song title.

    In regards to Grace’s musings about ruling class decapitation in England, it brings up the reason why I use the term ruling class rather than elite.

    It is much better to use the term ruling class because that denotes a distinct and separate group of people who can be changed-out when it becomes necessary.

    The term eliteimplies some group of people who are running the show because of some intrinsic quality they share, just like the European monarchs used the “divine right of kings” to lord it over everyone else.

    Sam Francis also used ruling class, and if it is good enough for the best political theorist of the last 40 years, it is good enough for me.

    To take over the UK or Canada, all you would have to do is plant a thousand or so bombs and pretend to be an Islamic jihadist and threaten to blow them up. The government would promptly order the military (joined in voluntary numbers by thousands of citizens) to lie on the bombs and contain the blasts, lest public opinion turn against Islam and the Prophet (pbuh). With the military and citizenry thus decimated, you could proceed to take over the country.

    I’ve always thought a fun, crowd-sourced forum topic would be how to overthrow a government but that’s a non-starter for obvious reasons.

    I expect an overactive imagination that spills over into perceptions of reality is a natural outgrowth of the black tendency towards megalomania.

  212. @Jack D

    I know it sounds crazy that someone would shoot into a car without being certain that it was the car of their intended victim but then again even the cops do stuff like this. People (especially gang bangers) are dumb and do dumb things all the time. Have you ever tapped someone on the shoulder and then they turn around and it’s not who you thought it was? Oops, sorry, thought you were someone else. These people do the same thing except that they have guns so it’s a bullet instead of a finger tap.

    To get close enough to be sure means letting the other guy get close enough to notice you and perhaps fire first. Gangsters are not into face-to-face duels. Even back in the Old West, a lot of gunfights involved people getting shot in the back.

  213. @HowDoYouDefineSmallChildren

    As I stated above, right now no one knows exactly what happened. The entire thing is blurry. From prior similar incidents I’m thinking the revealed truth will be something else entirely. For now it’s all speculation.

  214. Jack D says:
    @HowDoYouDefineSmallChildren

    You are reading too much into this. It’s likely that by “small children” the Sheriff meant the teenage daughter. Nobody saw a black shooter. Nobody saw a white shooter either but they saw a white driver and were primed to be willing to think of him as the shooter. From there you jump a few conclusions and in your mind’s eye you SAW the white guy shooting at you.

    Let’s reverse the situation – you are walking thru a marginal neighborhood at 3AM. Suddenly you are hit on the back of the head. You crumple to the ground and black out for a second – when you come to you see a large black male in the distance sprinting off with what appears to be your backpack. You don’t see anyone else in the vicinity. Even though you haven’t actually seen the man hit you or steal your backpack, in your mind you will have no doubt that he was the one.

    @a reader

    Eric Black seems to have a lot of facebook “friends” – there are a pageful of Washington’s alone. I don’t think this implies any sort of close actual “friendship”. Was Black an “aspiring rapper” or something like many young black men? It would only add to the irony if he shot the daughter of someone who was a fan of his music.

    La Porsha doesn’t seem to be a gang type or a racist. For her birthday requests, she asks (it looks like a canned request) for donations to be sent to the Shriner’s Hospital in her name (and there is a picture of a little white girl cancer victim). She doesn’t ask for grills for her teef or spinners for her wheels, just for donations to save that poor pathetic little white girl.

    @The Anti-Gnostic

    Pray that this doesn’t happen. Overthrowing the government is a really big step the first time but the next time everyone knows that it is possible and worth a shot. This often goes on for some time until the last set of overthrowers become really determined not to be overthrown themselves (and they know all the tricks because they have been on the other side) and they do some not very nice things (not just to thousands but to millions and often including their former best friends) in order to insure their permanent grip on power. The end result is that what you end up with is far worse than what you started with.

    On the contrary, group witnesses are even less reliable. They get together and whip up a narrative. The need to separate witnesses (and suspects) from the ASAP to prevent contamination is policing 101.

    New facts bring new interpretations.
    It sounds like the mom really thought it was a real white guy in a pickup, who justifiably sped off when he realized what was going on.
    It seems she didn’t have any connection with the actual black shooter, some dumbass who thought he was shooting at a guy he had a beef with at a club.
    There are many villains here, but the actual white guy isn’t one of them, and neither, it seems, is the mom, at least as far as this event goes.

    That said, I’d still say that a theoretical lower class black mom who makes up a fictional white criminal to spur a police investigation of the murder of her child is still more admirable than one who maintains a “no snitching” silence. Sure, this harms white guys, in principle. But catching actual black criminals helps white guys, in principle. I’d say a black mom’s primary duty is to her own kids, just as I’d say white parents have a primary duty to their own kids, and should support them and not infect them with SJW claptrap about “white privilege” and such. White parents should use their “white privilege” to help their white kids.

    Well said, Jack. I didn’t follow the story, but did not understand where a bunch of Steve’s commenters–usually a pretty sharp, on point lot–were getting this “she must have known the perps”, “must have been a banger”, “must have been lying” stuff.

    No she hears shooting. Her kids screaming. She glances out the window–red pickup with white guy. And, of course she knows–because blacks say it and the media cultivates it–that whitey is racist and out to get blacks.

    This story is basically:
    — some blacks doing very stupid, violent stuff–which some small fraction of blacks are just prone to do
    — a black woman put in extreme traumatic distress–her kid getting shot–reporting what she saw but not being right about what it meant
    — the establishment media swooning over the prospect of a white pickup driving defendant.

    All three of these are now just “per spec”.

    And only the 3rd of these is at all interesting. Yes, we really do have an establishment media that works openly to lie about crime and gin up hatred of flyover country white men.

    Right. That’s why everybody was so happy when the Soviets intervened in Hungary and Czechoslovakia to keep their governments from being overthrown. And just think where Chile would be right now if Pinochet had not overthrown the government! I can only pray the government of Venezuela never gets overthrown.

    It was so awful when the Soviet governments were overthrown. Oh G_d how I wept. And that great man Ceaucescu–shot in cold blood!

  228. @SporadicMyrmidon

    I agree with most of what you say, but fail to see how the mother giving a 180° misleading description of the perp helps “catching actual … criminals”.
