'You stabbed me': Man convicted of murder after argument over Trump turns deadly (pot related)

DESOTO COUNTY, Fla. (WKRC) - A man has been convicted of second-degree murder after a heated argument over Donald Trump led to a fatal stabbing.

38-year-old Donald Henry was found guilty in the death of Shawn Popp, according to the DeSoto County Sheriff's Office.

The stabbing occurred in Florida on October 22, 2022. According to officers, paramedics pronounced Popp dead at the scene, and Henry was swiftly taken into custody.

According to court documents, a witness said that a group was at the home smoking marijuana when the two began arguing about Trump. The argument escalated, prompting someone in the home to suggest they "take it outside." Shortly after, Henry pushed Popp into a sliding glass door and stabbed him in the chest.

"You stabbed me, you son of a b—," Popp reportedly said before walking outside and collapsing across the street, according to Law and Crime.

After being read his rights by officers, Henry claimed self-defense. He told officers that the argument began over "Donald Trump filing for bankruptcy" and that Popp had started punching him in the face.

Henry said his "training" took over, leading him to stab Popp in the upper chest with a kitchen knife, as he was "taught to stop the threat, like police officers are," according to WINK.

However, deputies noted that Henry showed no injuries that would suggest he needed to defend himself. Henry remains in custody at the DeSoto County Jail, with sentencing scheduled for October.

Weed. And Freerepublic's stoners insist it makes you mellow. "Peace and love", they call it.

The article seems carefully written to hide which individual liked Trump and which one disliked Trump. I’m guessing the guy with the knife is a Democrat.

Seems Henry’s “training” taught him to overreact, and not how to discern how his arguing could escalate into a situation where he may commit murder.

Usually, if they don’t place blame, the blame rests with the person they side with. Which, in this case meaning, the guy with the knife is a Trump hater.

“Corn’s brother”

I was wondering the same. The only street ass kickin bad ass I’ve heard of that could take on a Popp was some hood tough the locals would call Joe. That guy was legendary.

You stabbed me, you son of a b—,” Popp reportedly said

I think what he really said was “you stabbed me you Lying dog-faced pony soldier”

I don’t think it was the pot as much as it was TDS. I’ve seen dems who were not stoned or drunk acting like lunatics. Of course neither pot, booze or some other drug make things any better.

For certain groups he might be very scary.

Leftist teachers dependent on Teacher's Unions in some way.

Someone heavily invested in big drug companies.

Professional protestors.

High ranking government union officials.

Politicians deep in the Russia/Trump conspiracy.

Presstitutes

I could go on, but won't. If you have an Ox you don't want gored, Trump is scary.

Plenty of this went on when W was in the White House. It happens with any Republican.

Donald Trump filing for bankruptcy

Donald Trump's businesses filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Meaning they stay in business and people don't lose their jobs.
