Chris Beaty, a former Indiana University football player, was shot and killed on the street in downtown Indianapolis this weekend during one of the riots happening in cities around the country in response to the death of George Floyd. Beaty, 38, played for the Hoosiers from 2000-04 and remained actively involved in the program and the community as a mentor for players and a local businessman. He managed nightclubs, founded Fresh Marketing LLC for event planning and recently helped launch Worldwide Masks, which sells face masks for protection during the coronavirus pandemic, according to multiple reports.

Unless the FedGov comes in a big way, aka combat troops, he will just be one of millions to come.

Now the US Senate is siding with these thugs along with the Pentagon Brass and the SecDev. DJT is alone. We are alone. The USA almost lost.

Is anybody keeping track of the body count these mostly peaceful demonstrations have generated?

A former NFL Football player from Indiana tried to talk down the rioters one of the rioters pulled out a gun and shot him dead on the spot, then his dead body got trampled on.

To have a “national conversation on race relations”, the left needs to be prepared to answer a lot of hard questions.

They won’t answer any hard questions. This man tried asking and they killed him and abused his corpse on the spot.

Never heard of him, either. But the fact that he started a company that makes corona masks makes my spidey senses tingle.

Chris was a top-notch young man whom I knew well. Such a senseless tragedy.

Kind of odd, he looks black to me, but I guess his life didn’t matter.

How many innocent blacks have to die to riots over a guy who resisted arrest?

The news stories (so far) are remarkably unhelpful. The shooting apparently occurred around midnight. Cam Cameron, a former Hoosier player and coach, was quoted in one story as saying that Beaty was returning home after escorting someone else home to ensure that they got there safely. No details are given in any story I’ve seen about how the incident occurred. It’s not even clear that it was connected in any way with the demonstrations/rioting. For all we know, it could have been a random stickup gone bad.

Why?

That's the nature of a spirit of suspicion. If I knew the "why", my spidey senses wouldn't be tingling. Just something about the whole thing. He makes corona masks, he gets killed in a protest. What are the odds?

No doubt that the FBI is in hot pursuit of the white supremacist group that did this.
