No, we don't know for certain the circumstances surrounding Taylor's death. I could very well be proven wrong for engaging in this sort of aggressive speculation. But it's no different than if you saw a fat man fall to the ground clutching his chest. You'd assume a heart attack, and you'd know, no matter the cause, the man needed to lose weight. Well, when shots are fired and a black man hits the pavement, there's every statistical reason to believe another black man pulled the trigger. That's not some negative, unfair stereotype. It's important that some black men are courageious to say things so openly and so brutally, because a white person would lose any job in journalism for saying things like this.

We can start be defeating liberalism.
I heard on a radio talk show Taylor’s gun had been confiscated and all he had to defend himself with was a machete. Knife in a gunfight?

There’s no doubt that the black community faces some serious problems. However, it should be emphatically stated that white people are not one of those problems.

I just heard a black guy on tv say that “If you need to call 911, try and sound white. We all know how to sound white when we need to.”

The more I hear about this the more it sounds to me like an assassination.

Interesting article.
I do question if blacks were being ‘hung from trees’ in the 1950s and 1960s as he says. Weren’t the last lynchings in the 30s? and wasn’t it two or three in twenty years?
More than that get shot in one night in urban areas.

A former detective was saying this had the feel of an iside job. The security system was turned off or the perp had the code. The girlfriend claimed the phone did not work, but when the cops tried it, it worked okay. Nothing was taken. Etc.
