but but... he needed the money
Some years ago I was reading a local hobby bulletin board. One post was from someone new, a young kid who described himself as interested in the topic (he seemed precocious) and who said he wanted to meet one of the posters at a certain location to buy some items.
I didn’t like the “feel” of the conversation. The other poster responded to him with interest. I felt like warning him that it didn’t seem right. It seemed (to me) like this kid was luring the poster to a location for some sort of encounter the poster might not have expected, under color of someone wanting to buy some objects.
Just a feeling I had.
Blacks make up only about 4.5% of the population in Colorado. Doesn’t matter. You just knew the murderer was going to be black. Sorry. I am just speaking the truth.
“SAY THEIR NAME!”
I’ve seen several black pieces of s#%T get in the faces of innocent people demanding “Say their name!” These sacks of s#$t need to reel off the names of all the innocent people so many IMMORAL, UNCULTURED, UNTAMED and VIOLENT blacks have committed against others before I say anyone’s name.
Why is it that we have to learn these stories from a foreign news source? Are stories like this something the USA media don’t want us to hear about?
If a white had done this to a black family, it would be all in the news.
If looting is healthy, then so must this be.
Before you judge Mr. Brown, ask first if he needed the money.
Joe didn’t do anything to that thug. I’ll betcha Joe handed over the cash and held his hand out for the title and keys when the thug killed them both to leave no witnesses.
No justice no peace...dang wrong color again.
I sold some furniture off Craigs list once. When the guy showed up to get it, I had my .45 on me the entire time he was in the house and I kept my distance. That is how one sells items via the internet.

Great idea - bring a wad of cash to meet someone in an empty parkingl lot.

just sayin....
Death by hanging.
This is a horrible terrible story that I dont see how the media can bury
even though its a 17-year-old black perp. Over 3000$.
Very sad for this family and theyre five children
Prayers for those poor children!
No marches or protests or riots? Did their lives not matter?
Meeting them at 11pm on August 14.
11:00 p.m.?
Big mistake.
If MLK were still alive, I’d like to ask if this (and countless episodes like it) is what he had in mind with his “dream” speech.
The is an incredibly horrible crime - it isn’t just that two innocents were robbed and murdered, but now their 5 children have been orphaned. Additionally, if they were buying a used car for $3,000, it suggests to me that they didn’t have a lot of means (and having 5 kids is expensive), so the likelihood of this couple having had any life insurance, let alone adequate insurance to finish raising those poor kids, is pretty small...meaning that unless a big GoFundMe can be put together, or some family is well-to-do, or some incredibly generous Good Samaritan comes along, those kids are going to end up as wards of the state, and possibly split up.
BUUUUUUUT,
I couldn’t help but look at this sentence and shake my head:
“Emergency services responded to reports of a shooting just before midnight and the Rolands were rushed to hospital.”
I don’t know about any of you, but I am simply not going to meet someone whom I’ve never met before with $3,000 of cash at some time close to midnight - even if I’m armed and the person with me is armed. That’s not just something that I think is very smart. I’m certainly NOT blaming the victims here - but this was avoidable, and I hope that everyone reading this puts that in mind if they are ever going to engage in a transaction like this. Meet during the day, and meet in a VERY public place. Perhaps do NOT transact business for cash above some amount ($500? $1,000?).
May God have mercy on this couple’s children, because they’re going to need it. I cannot even fathom what they’re going through, or what they will be going through for many years to come.
ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS insist that any types of these interactions occur in a police or sheriff office parking lot.
Apprehended while presumed armed and dangerous, and not killed by the police? Amazing. /s
2018 FBI homicide stats adjusted for population size;
One million whites killed about 1.8 black people.
One million blacks killed about 21.3 white people.
BLM is the biggest “gaslighting” op in world history. It compels people to reject the reality they know, and instead accept the notion that the most violent race, the race that hurts and kills other races at off-the-chart rates — is somehow actually the “victim” race.
