'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.

Bear in mind the CoVID protein is still being manufactured in victims who took the clot shot, and are shedding them in the general population. I suspect it is the basis of the increased hypertension found in our population today. It may well be a contributing factor in this story.

That such was not made readily available IS evidence that it was the commie trash (AKA Democrat) that was the murderer.
