Chattanooga Dad Gunned Down by Thug Who’d Been Arrested 66 Times
Todd Starnes ^ | Todd Starnes

Christopher Wright was a well-known businessman in Chattanooga, Tennessee. He had a good life. A married man. Three children – including a newborn.

The other day he was in downtown for a high school reunion – meeting up with alumni from The Baylor School.

Mr. Wright was accosted on the street by a career criminal. He was shot in the head and he died at a nearby hospital.

The killer is a man named Darryl Roberts. Over the years this thug has been arrested and charged at least 66 times.

In 2003 he pulled a knife on a TJ Maxx security guard who tried to stop him from shoplifting.

In 2009 he pulled a gun on a store clerk. And in 2010 he fired rounds into a house during a home invasion.

He’s been arrested more than five dozen times, but the New York Post reports he’s never served more than sixth months behind bars.

Our justice system is broken. Defund the police, bail reform. Progressive policies that are putting all of our lives in danger.

And now a little baby — born just eight weeks ago — will never know her father.

A GoFundMe page has been set up for the family. Click here to make a donation.

Market has a lot of great places to eat downtown but it gets really shady a couple of blocks over.

This looks to be a block away from the Read House which is a convention center and a couple blocks from the Marriot and the main convention center for Chattanooga. Right off the MLK BLVD.

I know a rhetorical question when I see one.

Similar to historical (Sicilian) mafiosi, and probably anytime a group recognized itself as being under the thumb of an authority happy to let others do its dirty work.

At this point it would be a mercy to society to summarily execute the thug as he offers nothing positive to anyone.

***My Grandfather was a member of the KKK. It was a whole lot more about warnings and actions against people who would not do right. ***

I remember Deep South Southern Boys in my military unit saying the same thing. But there are too many self styled trouble makers who claim to be members but are not. They have caused more problems than I can remember and I still remember what happened to that organization around Tulsa in the 1970s.

My dad always cautioned me about joining ANY group. He was terrified we might get into trouble and end up in prison. His words have kept me out of lots of trouble. So far the only groups I have joined were the 4-H Club and the FFA.

This entire earth is now Babylon. There is no place that can claim anything they should be spared. No country, no place people are.

While the prevailing attitude toward police and so called ‘criminal justice’ is a big factor in all of this so is race. As long as people run away from race there is no fixing this. Blacks are disproportionally violent and ‘racism’ is levied at those who would point it out. In addition, all this crap about nondescription descriptions calling perps ‘youths’ and not using race at all when speaking of perps and criminals just feeds into it all. We’ve lost our minds and our way.

Schwartz hasn’t done a damn thing in his life that didn’t benefit himself. Now that his days are numbered, he wants to be remembered as a nice guy. He’s failed catastrophically.

Dilbert is right.

If you are a White individual and walk near a Pygmy cannibal, give them a wide birth and keep your hands on your firearm at all times. Know that the cannibal is ALWAYS on the hunt for human flesh, especially white meat.

Never mind the perp, it's way past time to execute judges and DAs who fail to punish the perps.

Gee, wonder why they never identify the races when the victim is White and the perp is black?🤔
Actually, I, really, don’t wonder.

Parts of Chattanooga would rival Memphis and Chicago for violent crime.

This is what a failed, collapsing society looks like.
