Want to know what the racist post was? It's from 2017, and this is what he wrote:
quote:

the KKK and BLM are the same racist coin


How TF is that racist?

The sub-text to all of this is that the coroner ruled that the shooting (a white neighbor shot a black neighbor) was justifiable self-defense.

quote:

The family of a man who was fatally shot in Missouri late last year is calling for the county coroner to resign, citing his social media posts as “overtly racist and dehumanizing.”

Justin King, a 28-year-old Black man, was shot by a neighbor on Nov. 3 in a trailer park in the small city of Bourbon, about 75 miles southwest of St. Louis.

Earlier this year Crawford County Prosecuting Attorney David S. Smith said he wouldn’t charge the man, after saying he agreed with the findings of a county coroner’s inquest that the shooting had been done in justifiable self-defense.

King’s family and civil rights leaders have since questioned why the shooter, who’s white, wasn’t charged.

I knew the Cuba and Bourbon area well years ago. I grew up about 40 miles away. He must have been the only black man living within 15 miles of Bourbon.

Anyone who wants to hold public office should delete their social media first. Their SO should do the same as well.

They used to fill them the fk up in protests in their silly robes. They were also no stranger to burning things and being destructive.

But, point taken.

Btw, fwiw, this article is being hosted on the Microsoft community forum today. Predictably, they have disabled the "comments" feature

2 things I noticed:

1. Proof that when Democrats hear the word KKK they blank out everything else and immediately jump to racism.

2. I didn't know coroners determined justifiable actions in court cases. I thought it was just causes of death. Wouldn't that be up to the state to determine if it's justifiable or not?

Well usually if you attack a guy or try to rob a guy and he shoots you. There are no charges.

Legit black supremacists fricking love BLM. No shite they outraged.. comparing their beloved blm to a white group.


It's like a legit white supremacist from the 1920s probably getting pissed when someone compared their beloved klan to a small black group.

So, they will pay a fly-in coroner to do a new inquest and claim it was murder?

Because that was what they did with the shithead in Ferguson.

If the coroner can show what someone was doing at the time of death, it plays a part.

Like the shots to the Ferguson idiot being at an angle suggesting he was bull-rushing the cop at the time.

100% this.

Coroners determine cause of death, not the criminality behind it.

This is weird.


Apparently they do this in Missouri: "Six county residents were presented with evidence and heard from witnesses about the case at the Crawford County Courthouse to help the coroner determine the manner of death."

Almost sounds like a grand jury of sorts.

And the article gives absolutely no context or details of WHY the shooting was considered justified self defense.

Good point. Typical media BS. Don't let the facts get in the way of a story that will get clicks from their base
