A DAD-of-four who split up a fight in a McDonald’s was shot dead moments after being told he wouldn’t see the morning.

Raymond Mitchell, 34, had only popped into the restaurant to buy a hot chocolate. Advertisement >> Advertisement

But he apparently caused offence after splitting up two men fighting in the queue.

One of them, who had several gold teeth, shouted at Raymond: “You are gonna die tonight, you are not gonna see the morning.”

The thug is then said to have phoned an accomplice to fetch a gun, yelling into his mobile: “Bring me that thing.”

Raymond left the 24-hour McDonald’s but was chased into a cul-de-sac. The gun was then delivered and Mr Mitchell was beaten and pistol-whipped before being shot three times in an alley in Brixton, South London, at 6.50am on Sunday. Raymond, nicknamed Brown, was taken to hospital but died hours later.

One neighbour, who saw the shooting but was too terrified to be named, said: “He was begging, literally begging for his life. I didn’t dare look out my window in case they saw me. I heard them laughing and swearing at him, calling him a ‘b***h’. I heard them laughing afterwards as well.”

What is going on with McDonalds lately?....

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Sure it did...it said he had a a mouthful of gold teeth.

Doesn't everybody?

One of them, who had several gold teeth, shouted at Raymond: “You are gonna die tonight, you are not gonna see the morning.”

That must be British code for 'the killer was black'... or maybe Amish.

There is a large population of Muslims in Brixton, many of them from Trinidad who are converts. Wonder if this has anything to do with this murder, and the fact that if you live in Brixton you are going to have a shorter life span than in any other part of the UK?

Why so serious?

[GOPJ]

No mention of the race of the perp. We all know what that means.

It means the press has no balls, and the perp was black or amish...

[Venturer]

Britain, France, The United States. It really doesn’t matter where black people go or how people treat them in that country.

They are a problem all over the world.

Racist? yeah probably , but that doesn’t change the facts.

******************************************************************
Yeah...me too. I tried to help a woman who was begging for he life (the perp laughed like Satan) and I failed. She was put into a car, driven out to a field and killed. I felt very bad about failing to stop that from happening...I could not get over the security fence so I yelled that I was calling the police because I wanted him to run off and I could not return to my apartment and leave her there with him without giving her a little hope. Later I would wonder, for years, what would have happened if I just called the police - could they have rescued her? But that night - as I was driven wild with horror to hear a human begging for her life...I remember looking up at all the apartment building windows on the second floor of my complex - they could see the guy IF they looked. They had to hear her screams for help. Big big complex and I was the only one who even tried???? A few hundred people in my complex, a few hundred in hers...and I was the only call to the police?

That’s not the facts in this case, the Baltimore McDonald’s beating case or any case.

It is not the circumstance of being Black that is the common cause. It is indeed racist, although somewhat understandable, given the racial factors in these two cases to make the inference you did.

Certainly there are social aspects arising out of the morals and current habits of today’s self-segregating Black communities in Baltimore and in the London neighborhood that contributed. These bad habits are not racial. They are seen elsewhere where the races are different and in different eras among some groups of all races.

But there is a much stronger common factor at operation in both cases. That is the breakdown of sexual mores and of respect for whole families and real old-school marriage!

The unmarried night-crawling Dad of eight, the woman’s room using drama-queen transvestite in Baltimore, the two vicious girls, likely raised without Dads. The common factor — a social breakdown of respect for marriage and sexual ethos.

You are absolutely right. And having an AG that refuses to prosecute “his” people just multiplies the problem.
Telling the truth does not make you a racist. Too bad the media won’t subscribe to that notion.

This, in the most surveillance oriented society on the planet. Camera everywhere, microphones everywhere, and they don't prevent or solve any crimes. Just keep the decent people afraid and under control.

Oh, please.

Hasidic Jews self segregate, but they don't seem to go into McDonalds or anywhere else and assault people not of their group.

Or just bring your bowling ball.

Very similar! In the case of the the black communities they self-segregate so as to develop bad habits -- in this era, in prior eras, e.g. by Marcus Garvey's ideals they self-segregated so as to develop GOOD habits and a strong self-sufficient culture. This is the reason I brought in the report - the utterly sad and ironic report -- of the name of the street where the killing occurred.

The Hassids segregate so as to develop GOOD habits and to keep their good habits strong from generation to generation.

Gold teef, you mean.

Feel free to back that up with hard data and examples. You can't.
