I ask you all to please read an article currently in Breaking News....

Here’s a story about a black guy who shot and killed two elderly people in a cemetery where they were visiting the grave of their dead son.
This happened right near me and it is a very weird thing.
Somehow the police got notified and there was a shootout and the killer too ended up dead.
BUT....butbutbutbutbut....the state police here in Delaware aren’t telling anything.
A black guy kills an 85/86 year old couple at a cemetery and we don’t hear a word.
As for this guy....why would someone try to wrest a shotgun from someone? Why wouldn’t he put up his arms or some such but no, he wanted the loaded shotgun.
Neither of these stories make much sense.
let justice take its course.
however, how many of those screaming “racism” are out there protesting and demanding the lockdowns must end?
or are they demanding lockdowns continue, indefinitely, or at least until the November election?
how many of the anti-lockdown mob are concerned about the millions of black Africans who will die because their Governments followed the “lockdown” example of the developed countries? none, would be my guess:
15 Apr: Time: Coronavirus Lockdowns Are Choking Africa’s Food Supply
By FARAI MUTSAKA, AP; Associated Press writer Tom Odula in Nairobi, Kenya contributed to this report.
(HARARE, Zimbabwe) — In a pre-dawn raid in food-starved Zimbabwe, police enforcing a coronavirus lockdown confiscated and destroyed 3 tons of fresh fruit and vegetables by setting fire to it. Wielding batons, they scattered a group of rural farmers who had traveled overnight, breaking restrictions on movement to bring the precious produce to one of the country’s busiest markets.
The food burned as the farmers went home empty-handed, a stupefying moment for a country and a continent where food is in critically short supply.
It was an extreme example of how lockdowns to slow the spread of the coronavirus may be choking Africa’s already-vulnerable food supply.
Lockdowns in at least 33 of Africa’s 54 countries have blocked farmers from getting food to markets and threatened deliveries of food assistance to rural populations. Many informal markets where millions buy their food are shut.
About one in every five people in Africa, nearly 250 million, already didn’t have enough food before the virus outbreak, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization. A quarter of the population in sub-Saharan Africa is undernourished...
In West Africa’s Sahel region, nearly 30 million are struggling to find food, said Granville-Ross of Mercy Corps.
On top of these problems, the World Bank said the virus could create “a severe food security crisis in Africa.”
Among those at risk are millions of children normally fed through WFP’s school meals program. A few weeks after the virus crept into Africa, so many schools have been closed that 65 million children are now missing out on meals, WFP told The Associated Press.
For many Africans, the immediate concern is not the virus — it’s surviving the lockdowns...
The continent of nearly 1.3 billion people has reported just over 15,000 cases and 815 deaths, although those figures may be vastly under-reported...

14 Apr: France24: AFP: ‘Starve or get sick’: Africa’s lockdown dilemma
Kenya has so far cordoned off the capital and parts of its coastline and imposed a night-time curfew and other social distancing measures.
Many these restrictions are having a wrenching impact on the poor, causing many to lose their jobs, said Odede...
“Locking up people in the slums will be the last option. A lot needs to be done before that,” a high-ranking security official told AFP on condition of anonymity...
“The inevitable reaction has been to follow what the rest of the world is doing,” said Jakkie Cilliers at the Pretoria-based Institute for Security Studies (ISS), who has called for Africans to come up with a “unique solution” to stave off the virus.
“A lockdown is unenforceable and unsustainable across much of Africa. You are trying to do something that is not possible and you are condemning people to a choice between starving and getting sick.
“It’s not possible for 10 people living in a tin shack... to not go outside for three weeks.”...
In sub-Saharan Africa, Liberia and Zimbabwe have also imposed full lockdowns...
Madagascar and Ghana have completely locked down selected regions and towns, while Senegal, Mauritania, Guinea, Mali, Ivory Coast, Burkina Faso and Niger have imposed states of emergency and night-time curfews.
Like Kenya, Benin has cordoned off key cities — preventing movement in and out — while the capitals of Ivory Coast, Burkina Faso and Niger are also cut off.
Ethiopia, with a population of over 100 million, has closed borders and schools and discouraged large gatherings, but has yet to restrict citizens’ movement...
“We can’t impose a lockdown like more developed nations, as there are many citizens who don’t have homes,” said Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed.
“Even those who have homes have to make ends meet daily.”...
“Coronavirus should not be a reason to destroy our economy at all,” said Tanzanian President John Magufuli...

How many do you want.
If I am jogging down the street and two fat rednecks in a pickup truck chase me down and confront me with a shotgun. I am thinking, "If I run they will shoot me in the back and kill me; if I put my hands up and surrender, they will shoot me in the chest and kill me; but if I fight back, then I might survive the situation."
First of all, they weren't police. If you see somebody in front of you with a shotgun you may not just want to put up your hands like they are legitimate authorities. You may not want to give them the legitimacy that they don't have and don't deserve.
Secondly, he may not have "wanted the shotgun." He just didn't want the other guy to be able to use it on him. The idea that the killer was afraid for his life misses the point that the killed man was that much more in fear of his life and had more reason to feel that way.
What the victim did wasn't wise, but people don't always react in wise ways when under stress. Plus, if you've been running for a while you're apt to have more hormonal energy than brain sense.
Before we draw comparisons between what happened in Georgia and what happened in Delaware take into account that this is some months after the Georgia incident happened. It wasn't this big a story when it actually happened as it is now, and the Georgia authorities probably didn't say more or move faster in the beginning than the Delaware authorities are now.
