If were were looking for a mirror image of the Trayvon Martin incident, here you go. This happened a few days ago, but oddly enough the national media hasn’t made it into a big story. I wonder why?
Police are saying more about a shooting at a Taco Bell Tuesday night in which one man died.They’re also identifying the victim as 29-year-old Daniel Adkins.
About 7:30 p.m., a 22-year-old man and his girlfriend ordered food at the Taco Bell drive-thru and were told to pull up while their order was prepared.
At the same time, Adkins stepped around a corner into the path of the vehicle and angry words were exchanged between he and the driver.
They got into an altercation and Adkins was shot once by the driver. He died at the scene.
The driver, a 22-year-old black male, called police but has not been arrested.
At first, the couple claimed that Adkins had a metal pipe that he swung at them — but it turns out he was holding a dog leash with his yellow lab on the other end.
Family members want that driver arrested, but he’s claiming self-defense.
“He needs to be behind bars. I’ll never see my brother again,” says sister Marina Reyes. “If he felt that my brother was threatening him, he could have easily just rolled up the window and called the cops.”
In this case the shooter’s name hasn’t been released, so at least he’s spared from Spike Lee tweeting his address. But why don’t we know his name?
Like Florida, Arizona has a stand your ground law but nobody seems interested in any comparisons.
Can you imagine the furor if a “white hispanic” gunned down a black man with the mental capacity of a 12-year-old in a state governed by Jan Brewer? Heck, Obama would take up residence for a month if he thought it could win some votes, the Justice Department would be crawling through the state and the media that has mangled the Trayvon Martin story would gladly skip town from Sanford for the latest outrageously outrageous outrage.
Instead, we haven’t seen a single story on the national news about this story. Why is that? Where is the 911 call that NBC can manipulate to gin up the racial outage?
More from the family.
The dog, Lady, stayed by Adkins’ side until the Humane Society came. Adkins lived with his mom and dad. He’s 29, but his family says he’s mentally disabled and has the mental capacity of a 12-year-old. He didn’t drive, and walked wherever he went.“This person is still on the loose and I don’t agree with that. So he’s saying self defense, then where’s the weapon? Where’s the pipe? They didn’t find anything on my brother,” says Reyes. “He was just too aggressive, you don’t need to go that far.”
The shooter’s name has not been released. The investigation is still ongoing.
MSM and the dnc wants us dead.
Its up to us.
Let me know where the protest is and I shall be there.
“The shooter’s name has not been released. The investigation is still ongoing.”
Come on now, Spike Lee wants to know so he can tweet the shooters address. /S
Only when we finally realize we have had war declared on us from our own government, rag heads and certain members of the black community maybe whites, especially white males, might start fighting back.
We need to be very cautious in the case of blacks because, unlike mudslimes, there really are a large number of very nice people of color.
Look at all the profiling done by the bull dyke lesbian head of DHS and how she feels right wing white people and former military are potential terrorists. Look at Holder’s comments and actions. Look at all the statements made by the racist mudslime in chief. WE ARE AT WAR only one side is not fighting.
“Dissing” a black thug can be a fatal offense. And just what “disrespect” will trigger these murders? Anything, no matter how trivial, the thug can use to justify his attack.
Here is a case where a white student asked a car that was rudely blocking other cars from exiting a parking garage to “hurry up” and the black thug murdered him for being “dissed”

Nor had they heard of the piece on the white college student in Baltimore getting beat and stripped naked by 'Holder's People' on St Patrick's Day while more of 'Holder's people' stood around and laughed.
I warned them all (again) 'The War' the race hustlers like Rev Al and Jesse (plus Obama & Holder) wanted, has now started. I think they're finally believing me.
(I'm pretty sure the blatant, Mid-Day Bank Robbery last week by a 'Black Man in a Hoodie' (Police Description) in our nice little, violent CRIME FREE, suburb helped turn my wife around)
I remember AG holder saying crimes by minorities would not be prosecuted. Looks like that is happening here.
If the incident had been a Hispanic shot a Back with the mental capacity of a 12 year old, and said Hispanic could be made to appear White, with a White sounding last name, it would be a different ball game.
It’s absolutely never a good idea to have any interaction after a car related snit. For years, I’ve conditioned myself to not even make eye contact when someone gets bent. Most often they’re just looking for trouble.
I broke my own rule last Thursday when a neighbor up the street whom I’ve never met made a real bone head maneuver as I was driving slowly by. He laid on the horn for like 10 seconds. So I figured I’d stop, introduce myself, and we’d talk things out.
Turns out that people who do stupid things with cars and get bent at anyone nearby really are just a-holes looking for an argument or worse. Lesson relearned at the price of a few unpleasant words, and that’s fine by me.
Dog bites man....not news..........
Democrats and the news media are only interested in news stories where whites can be portrayed as villains.
So why should whites trust the Democrats or the news media?
“vicious yellow lab”
LOL! He would probably lick them to death!
"Not so sure this tragedy compares well to the Florida incident. And I’m OK with waiting for the justice system to run its course in both locales. So far, from what has been published (Is it true? Is it accurate? Is it balanced?) this shooter seems to have less “cause” than Z in Florida, but facts not yet in evidence could change that."
Of course justice should play out- in both cases. But you are completely missing the bigger point here.
It’s not that they’re disinterested. Oh no. They just don’t want to fan the flames of racial hatred dontchaknow.
They very responsible in that way.
If Obama had a son would he look like Daniel Adkins?
