I think pregnant black women should be allowed to shoplift all the vodka they want.
With white women, sure, you'd have to worry about Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, but with blacks, it's not like you'd be able to tell the difference.
She was twenty-one and about to have a baby, and a shop accused her of taking some bottles of alcohol.
An officer stood in front of her car and pointed a gun through the windscreen.
Ta'Kiya Young and her unborn daughter both died in that car park.
Blendon Township, Ohio. 24 August 2023. A Kroger supermarket.
Ta'Kiya Young was twenty-one, a mother of two boys, and about six months pregnant with a daughter she had already named.
Shop staff reported that she had taken bottles of alcohol. Two officers came out to her car.
What the body camera shows: one officer at the driver's window telling her to get out. The other officer, Connor Grubb, moves in front of the bonnet of the car and draws his weapon.
She says: are you going to shoot me?
The car edges forward. Grubb fires once through the windscreen.
She died. Her daughter died.
He was standing in front of a moving car he had chosen to stand in front of. Police training in most American departments says explicitly that an officer should move out of the path of a vehicle rather than shoot at it, because shooting the driver does not stop the car.
In August 2024 a grand jury indicted Connor Grubb for murder. He turned himself in.
The case has been through the courts since. A judge dismissed the counts relating to the death of the unborn child, and proceedings on the remaining charges have continued.
And here is the figure to hold while you read the rest of the week.
The allegation was shoplifting. Not armed robbery. Not violence.
A few bottles taken from a supermarket. That is what the whole thing was about, from the first radio call to the last breath of a woman six months pregnant in a car park in Ohio.
under post-war western liberalism we breed dogs the same way we breed human beings:
we sterilize the absolute best, and allow the absolute worst to have 4-12 offspring each and then get decent working middle class people to pay to feed them
Almost died 8 year ago today. Dude OD’d while driving and hit me while I walked, pinning me to a tree. Thankful to still be here, thankful I fought tooth and nail to reduce his jail time as much as possible and replace it with 3 years of intensive inpatient rehab. Hope he’s okay
Dear white people, just because you give to charity to ease your guilt doesn't change the fact that your ancestors killed, enslaved, and tortured Black people. You can't donate your way out of history.
Some people have raised the issue that @nayibbukele's military intervention in Haiti might turn into an actual genocide.
This raises many pressing questions like "do they actually have enough ammo to do that?" and "if not, can I contribute to their gofundme?"
🇭🇹 #Haiti: The leader of the “Unité Bawon Laplèn” (UBP) gang, Lanmò SanJou, is seen blessing gang members and their weapons with rum as they "prepare for war".
The security situation in Haiti continues to deteriorate rapidly. Police and international forces have launched major operations against armed gangs following a recent ambush that left two police officers dead while on patrol.

Bukele is a Complete Idiot, he authorized El Salvadorian troops to basically invade Haiti. I got news for Bukele, Haitian Gangs are well armed and dangerous, a blood bath of El Salvadorians coming home in body bags instead of trying to negotiate the release of their soldiers.
