The three black killers of White teenager Ethan Liming in Akron, Ohio, have finally been indicted for their brutal beatdown by a Summit County grand jury. Instead of the murder charges that the community has long been clamoring for, all three have been issued with lesser charges by the Summit County Prosecutor’s Office.
According to court records, Deshawn Stafford Jr., 20, Tyler Stafford, 19, and Donovon Jones, 21, were indicted on charges of involuntary manslaughter and assault, a far cry from the charges of murder and felonious assault that were originally issued. The three black men have pleaded not guilty since their arrest by U.S Marshalls on June 11th, and currently sit in the Summit County Jail with bond set at $1 million.

The Summit County District Attorney’s office has pressed forward with its plans of reducing the charges on Ethan’s killers, after “additional information” came to light which impacted the Grand Jury. When asked what additional information could possibly serve to reduce charges against three black adults who committed to curb stomping a White minor, Brad Gessner, chief legal counsel for the District Attorney, said “Those aren’t facts that can be made public.”
“We miss our child. We would do anything we could possibly do to turn the clock back and have him in my arms again. And to see his face again, but they robbed me of even that ability. And they destroyed my child’s face and his head,” Bill Liming told the television station.
Gassner further elaborated and provided a breakdown of the charges issued to Stafford, Stafford, and Jones, advising that Involuntary manslaughter is defined as “causing a death as a result of an aggravated assault.” Aggravated assault is defined as “causing serious harm to someone as the result of passion or rage.” Involuntary manslaughter in the first degree, the loftiest charge issued to Deshawn Stafford Jr., has a maximum penalty of only three to 11 years in prison if convicted.

While the charges may have been reduced from murder to manslaughter, the evidence in this horrific, racial crime continues to show the contrary. The Autopsy report of Ethan Liming indicated that at some point during the brutal beatdown, he was stomped so thoroughly by his attackers that footprints were left on his chest wall. He also sustained a black eye, lacerations on his head, and suffered from a broken occipital bone which culminated in his death on June 2nd.
The attornies representing the three black criminals, who savaged Ethan as he attempted to break up a fight between them and his friends (and who subsequently moved his car to prevent Ethan from going to the hospital), will be arguing for lower bonds during their arraignments. Donald Gallick, the defense attorney for Tyler Stafford, says his client shouldn’t be held accountable, and that all three men acted in self-defense.
“I don’t know why my client is being held on a $1 million bond — a 19-year-old with no criminal record in a case in which he was minding his own business,” said Donald Gallick, Tyler Stafford’s attorney.
During the beatdown, the three killers had the foresight to commandeer and move Ethan’s vehicle away from the crime scene to prevent him from going to the hospital for his injuries. Police also found a broken cellphone on the ground. Jon Sinn, defense attorney for DeShawn “Shawn” Stafford, makes the wild claim that the killers did not take Ethan’s vehicle to prevent him from receiving medical attention at the hospital, but instead, it was to prevent Ethan’s friends from fleeing before police could arrive.

But if this truly were the case, and the killers were demanding transparency with Police in order to clear them of wrongdoing, then why did DeShawn Stafford and his co-defendants flee the scene themselves, prompting a federal manhunt that lasted ten full days? Why was a cell phone found smashed at the crime scene? Many questions remain in the case, most of them unanswered.
“My understanding is it wasn’t moved in an effort to try and prevent anyone from getting help,” Sinn said. “It was more of a situation of, ‘You guys are going to stay here. You guys are gonna stay here until the cops come, you’re going to have to explain the situation.’ So they didn’t want the other boys taking off because they really felt they were in the right.”
The news of Ethan Liming’s death has since rocked the community of Akron, Ohio, prompting candlelight vigils from his friends and family, as well as attention from the pro-White activist group, the National Justice Party. Mike Peinovich, chairman of the NJP, led a march in Akron, Ohio demanding hate crime charges be issued to the three black killers, which according to the Congressional Emmit Till Act, qualifies as a lynching.
all three men acted in self-defense?
Give me a break!
Involuntary manslaughter. That says a lot of how today’s courts view certain groups of people, as if they do not have independent moral agency.
there will be consequences. Karma cannot be avoided.
They beat him to a pulp. But we should understand because these feral humans cannot comprehend civilized behavior.
This is the kind of thing that can lead to actual lynching. Unequal justice is to divide and generate hatred.
Maybe the Democrats were right and Lincoln was wrong?
diversity is destroying this nation. Just as intended.
Hate crime laws are basically a farce. They are not given equally at all.
The last time I heard of a hate crime being used in favor of a white person was when 3 black women jumped on a white woman and beat her senseless with an object. They actually screamed “we hate white people”.
What’s the National Justice Party and who is Mike Peinovich?
The decision to drop charges is inexcusable but not unexpected.
The victim was with a group of idiots who fired paint guns at Blacks. The Blacks attacked and killed him.
Sigmund Freud used to say “It’s not who fired the gun, it’s who attracted the bullet.” And that is perfectly applicable here. Growing up in NYC in the 70s and then moving to the NJ suburbs for high school, if there is one aspect of life I learned, it is to keep as far a distance from Blacks as is humanly possible.
He’s with a group who shoots Blacks with a paintball. They react violently, essentially homicidally. The notion that this is unexpected is comical, and speaks of an absolute ignorance of biology. The “authorities “ don’t give the Blacks the proper punishment and people are surprised?
The reality in America is that we are engaged in a “race war”between human beings (Whites, Asians, Mestizos) and Blacks. The sooner we recognize this and act accordingly, the quicker the problem will end
it is approaching the point that a black killing a white will be a misdemeanor while a white offending a black will be a felony.
Three against one, and it’s “Manslaughter”. The left has been successful in turning the “justice” system around so that it now sets free murderers and convicts innocent people.
The left seems to have promised one specific victim group that it will not be prosecuted for its crimes, in return for votes and money.
Melanometric Privilege!
> The victim was with a group of idiots who fired paint guns at Blacks. <
That’s a key fact that was left out of the excerpt. As you noted. it does in no way excuse the drop in charges. This was an horrific crime. But by golly it’s part of the picture.
And it’s a lesson to folks in general. Don’t tease animals.
Meaning - they stole it.
Derbyshire Rules
When does the rioting and looting start?
Mr Stevens tried to drive away and Dunham shot him 8 times.
Despite witnesses to the crime, video of it, the murder weapon recovered with Dunham's fingerprints and DNA and a confession, a jury acquitted the murderer.
This is my nephew,his only crime was being white.
No idea. Some nut?
Why isn’t this the lead story on Fox?
Reverse the race and leaders from BOTH parties would be speaking out against the low charges and the President doing a press conference about it, lead story on the news.
Dead white guy?
NOBODY CARES.
But please show me a ‘real news source’ story on this abomination.
