On Wednesday, March 4, 2026, at approximately 11:14 am, 21-year-old Kaitlyn Mangum-Gast and a 36-year-old male were riding on one bicycle in the 4800 block of Chastain Drive when a white pickup truck driven by 57-year-old Shannon Thomas crashed into them.



During the follow-up investigation of this case, detectives discovered that the incident was intentional. It is now being investigated as city’s 13th homicide of the year.

Hate crime and quick death penalty. This should be easy.

It's not possible if he's black and the deceased is white.


You must be stupid not to understand this.

I’ve grown tired of this having to be a thing. We’ve been saying this same shite for 10 years already with zero change.

What evidence do you have this was a hate crime?

Just because something is intentional and happens to involve different sexes or ethnicities doesn’t mean it’s a hate crime.

I think it would be pretty easy to prove he targeted them because they were white.

They obviously wont do that because they have easier charges to pin on him. No point. But it seems quite clear as day.

Fine. We'll all pretend it wasn't. Apparently, MS has four means of execution: lethal injection, nitrogen hypoxia, electrocution, and firing squad. Since we can't prove it was a "hate" crime, I say MS only use 3 of the 4. Deal?

Hate crimes are bullshite and murder is murder. Does it really matter why? Someone is dead intentionally, that should be more than enough.

So, no evidence then.

If everything is a “hate crime” then nothing is.

Try him for murder. Doesn’t mean it’s a hate crime.
