When I left the courthouse on Friday, multiple individuals approached Sippi and me. They were yelling and brandishing multiple firearms.
One of the men initially displayed a pistol that was slung outside of his shirt and held it at a low-ready position. The individuals were clearly making sure that we saw the firearm as they approached.
Afterward, Sippi sarcastically remarked, “That’s bad ass.”
The man then responded, “Oh, I bet you didn’t see this one,” before lifting his shirt and brandishing another firearm that was positioned near his waistband (in the center).
The group continued yelling and followed us across the front of the parking lot.
Sippi immediately escorted me to our vehicle, and we left.
I am not here to give these people any of my time or attention. I am here to report, as I have been for the past year.
It’s sad that it has come to this. They are angry that I’m doing my job, and behavior like this is exactly why we have increased our security measures and are taking additional precautions.
A large number of the men in the parking lot carrying firearms have identified themselves as members of the Black Panthers. I do not know whether the individuals who approached us were affiliated with that group or not.
In America today, White people have two options when black people are literally trying to kill them:
1) Defend yourself, get arrested and go to prison.
2) Die.
The 3 worst cases of police misconduct caught on video over the last decade were all against white men
In all 3 cases, police engaged in blatant abuse against innocent men
1. Daniel Shaver
2. Tony Timpa
3. Henry Nowak
Daniel Shaver in 2016: Unarmed man on knees in hotel hallway, begging for life. He was shot dead by cop while complying with chaotic commands. Officer acquitted
Tony Timpa in 2016: Mentally ill man who called 911 for help; pinned face down by police for 14 min until he died. Officers mocked him; essentially zero accountability
Henry Nowak in 2025 in the UK: Stabbed teen victim handcuffed and denied prompt aid by police who believed the attacker; died at scene. Police apologized, investigation ongoing but being covered up
- No liberals calling for mass protests
- No murals
- No renaming streets after them
- No creating new laws in their honor
The establishment doesn’t care because they were all White
