Why the sketch of Jazmine Barnes' alleged killer didn't match the suspects in her death
Houston Chronicle ^ | 07 January 2019 | Julian Gill

Posted on 01/07/2019 2:03:16 PM PST by zeestephen

While two suspects have been identified in the shooting death of 7-year-old Jazmine Barnes, many people are still questioning why the initial sketch of the possible suspect looked completely different....Shaun King explained the discrepancy on Instagram on Sunday. He said the four eyewitnesses to the shooting confused the killer for a white man who sped off in his red pickup truck. [Shaun King is a civil rights activist who offered a $60,000 reward, of which $25,000 was raised from donors]

Iirc, I read somewhere yesterday that the witnesses recognized the killers but lied to the cops.

Re: Witnesses recognized the killers but lied to the cops.

I saw the same post.

If true, the Houston Chronicle is running cover for Shaun King, and also trying to protect its own reputation.

H.C. gave extensive week-long coverage to the protest marches and the “White Guy Murders Black Child” theme.

This is what happens when black folks have no idea that the system is so tilted in their favor that the ENTIRE world would immediately come to a stand still in the hope of catching one of those evil racist white guy unicorns.

What I read was that the mother was there to buy drugs, but instead of paying for them, she snatched them and fled. The dealer and his pal followed her and shot at her car, killing the little girl.

Yes, the Chronicle is trying to cover this up, because it’s yet another story that doesn’t fit the “evil white man/saintly minority” narrative.

If it comes from Pravda on the Bayou you know it’s covering up for leftists and protected minority groups. Blatant attempt to deny race baiting from the beginning.

Thank you for the wonderful H.L. Mencken quote in your tag line.

I have not seen that before.

You’re welcome! Mencken is a favorite of mine.

The father of my college girlfriend was a newspaper executive.

When we visited her parents, I would sleep on the pull out sofa bed in her Dad's little home office.

Just above my pillow was a shelf with a huge multi-volume collection of Mencken's collected papers and published writing.

I probably read 500 hundred pages of Mencken in those years - but not another word in the half century since then.

I admired Mencken's writing skills, but I never completely understood his political orientation, or even if he had an orientation.

He was probably America's greatest political humorist, but, looking back, I always felt his work lacked the ideological “punch” of writers like Mark Steyn, Pat Buchanan, and William F. Buckley.

Mencken was a libertarian of sorts, but mostly he was a cynic and a curmudgeon. He had little faith in people, and especially the masses.

If you enjoyed Mencken, you would probably like the book, Memoirs of a Superfluous Man by Albert J. Nock.

Re: Talcum X

Well, it took me a couple days, but I suddenly realized what that means.

If you are the creator of that phrase, congratulations, because it is really clever, and really funny.

LMAO. I wish I was, but I came across that somewhere else on the internet. I still crack up every time I read it.
