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.

What will awaken the American People to reality? If not this, then what?

Yes, you and I have never lost touch with reality, but the others! WHAT will it take to wake them up?

If this madness is not overcome--and soon--the USA is going to be so weakened by internal destruction that our foreign enemies will attack.

They are watching and waiting. They know exactly what's going on in the USA.

They are encouraging and promoting the destruction of America from within.

When they consider the time right, they will attack.

The fools responsible for all this will be so surprised, but it will be too late.

The scoundrels promoting all this will rejoice.

The fall of America is too horrible to imagine, but if things don't turn around soon, that's where we're headed.

I wonder if downtown Chattanooga is unsafe as the downtown of many of America’s big cities? If so, why schedule an event there?

Communists have made our cities into war zones, while criminals can roam free and are protected by said Communist politicians.

He needs more time to get his life together. He plans to be a rap music star.

More than 50 years ago we had the movie "Network" that brought us "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore." Well, we still do take it. In that same time we had Dirty Harry, Death Wish, Kojak and a whole string of similar movies and TV shows all about unconstrained crime and lack of punishment. 50 years later... it is now worse.

Politics and what is left of the law remain the same now as then and the good guys are losing. Losing more now than they did then.

Isn't it past time for some street justice? Why not?

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. Beat your wife, hurt your kids, don't take care of your responsibilities or debts, generally behave in an uncivilized and socially unacceptable manner? You get a cross burned in your yard. Next time you get drug out of the house, tarred and feathered and carried out of town on a rail. Third time. Well, third times weren't usually necessary but they were the last time. No more warnings.

I am one of the few who remain that don't need to read history in any form to know about those times. I got the history first hand when I was a kid from people who were alive when it happened.

Pretty crude huh? Well, it worked. What passes for justice now isn't working at all.

Yes, absolutely.

The gang in "To Kill a Mockingbird" had the right idea but the wrong man. We know who the right people are now. "Alleged" is just a technical term now, in most cases it has no meaning.

He's most likey be dead if he'd have tried this in Florida or Texas.

Unfortunately, its turning into an Eastern version of Memphis. It used to be a vibrant, family-friendly city with a great outdoor atmosphere. I considered retiring there.

When are people going to realize that in today’s USA the Democrats have turned criminal loose to commit whatever crimes they feel like and then realize the 2nd Amendment was written to alloe people to protect themselves from criminals and from an out of control government?
