"Did the decedent have a history of mental illness?"

Do you ever watch "Hardcore Pawn" on the tru-tv channel?

It's really hard to tell (sane/insane/drugs/bad day) the symptoms are all about the same.

Thug is race now, just like homosexual is apparently a race now?

Ever notice how anyone of mixed race still has to identified as black by default? Somehow, it makes them ‘special’.......

The deceased was so stupid that he thought the cop would realize that the sword he swung at the cop didn’t have an edge. The cop will be persecuted because he didn’t recognized that the deceased was only trying to scare the cop, not disembowel him.

This is working up to a demand that anyone of color have special treatment with a hands-off policy by the police. That will pave the way for anarchy in the streets where feral savages run rampant like rabid dogs. Law and order will only be for the law abiding. The rest will become the predatory species.

“In January, Hunt took a plea in abeyance to a misdemeanor charge of assault, according to state court records, according to KSL.com. Ms Hunt said he should never have been charged with the incident because he was drunk and venting and only lightly pushed her. He also punched other teenagers in the house who were trying to control him.”

She blames race? As in “Didn’t run the race well”?

or

“Slower than a herd of turtles in January, so he couldn’t outrun the bullet”???

Hopefully they would be met and turned away by the former mayor of Saratoga Springs mayor Mia Love.

This one is an honorary black.

From the article:

"His mother is white, and his father is black, the Standard-Examiner of Ogden reported.
Susan Hunt had just returned to Utah after separation from her husband to start a new life for the family."

She said she and her family fled from an abusive relationship and her son was still trying to process many emotions.

"My son is a tender heart who would not hurt anybody," she said. "My son is a beautiful, bright-eyed, intelligent boy."

I believe you are correct on all 4 points.

When they close their legs and don't get paid for making little inmates. In other words, never.

Ninja, please.

Much hay is being made by the family about the edge not being sharp. That just makes it a blunt instrument that still can break skulls.

I had wooden practice bokan with a steel rod through the center and you would not want to be hit with it. I also never deigned to walk around in public with it and scare folks.

He doesn’t look black. He looks like a towel head. And, a deranged towel head at that. And, if he lunched at a cop with a sword, his brain must have been on crack.

From the story at the link:

...“When I looked up, I saw the young man turning away from the police, and I saw what I thought were two 2×4’s in his hands, one in each hand,” Hansen said. “Then I saw police officers running after him, and they could have both had guns, but I saw one for sure with his gun extended.”

We need new statistical data - what is the difference between the Whites that don’t get shot and the Blacks that do? How do they act/respond when approached by LEOs?
