After nearly 10 hours of deliberation Thursday, a Chester County Court jury found Clayton P. Carter III guilty of first-degree murder in the death of his next-door neighbor George Brooks Jennings in August 2017. ---SNIP---

Carter’s attorney, Joseph P. Green Jr., said Jennings repeatedly provoked Carter as part of a campaign to get Carter — a former mobile home park operator Jennings called “trailer trash” — to move out of the neighborhood.

He showed jurors a photo of Jennings’ backyard shed, in front of which he displayed several Trump-Pence 2016 signs facing Carter’s yard in an attempt to irritate Carter a year after the election, Green said

Full Title:
Jury finds Clayton P. Carter III guilty of murder in the 2017 shooting death of his West Goshen neighbor (Bernie Bro)

The news has whitewashed the cold blooded murder of a Republican Committeeman by an "anti Trump activist" (bernie bro)

On one hand the press and police are claiming it is not politically motivated but part of his defense is claiming that the Trump signs enraged Carter to the point of murder.

“He showed jurors a photo of Jennings’ backyard shed, in front of which he displayed several Trump-Pence 2016 signs facing Carter’s yard in an attempt to irritate Carter a year after the election, Green said”

Defense is essentially trying to tell us that the victim asked for it.

I wonder if I will personally show any mercy when CWII comes?

Don’t think so.

It reads as though both men had been agitating and challenging each other for years, without let up.
Petty power struggles, coupled with personal insults.
Neither man being able to let it go. No excuse for murder, but it sort of explains how it all unraveled.

I’ve legally carried for the last 29 years and have never had actually to display, let alone point or discharge, my weapon in anger. It’s imperative, when carrying, NOT to go deliberately into harm’s way lest things get out of hand and one finds himself where this guy is now. Its mere presence makes me one of the world’s politest people. Indeed, I’m almost never more than about 30 feet away from a loaded weapon.

Yep, especially living in Southern CA, until a Month ago that is.

Had them over three years now and not a scratch. One Leftist meltdown at Costco and a few One Finger Salutes, but that’s it.

".. Prosecutors, said Carter planted the knife at the scene, noting that his DNA evidence was on the knife and Jennings’ was not."

Sordid, typical liberal practice, attempting to blame the victim for the crime.

I just wear my MAGA hat. Here in east TN I’ve gotten a lot of compliments and no leftist meltdowns. Congratulations on escaping CA. I escaped IL over 40 years ago and never looked back.

“...Carter — a former mobile home park operator...”


This detail made me think of Jim Lahey, Trailer Park Supervisor from Trailer Park Boys.

Here’s a story the media ignores as it doesn’t “fit the narrative.”
