Armed White men who showed up at a Black family's home were acquitted.

An African American mother says she won't sit down to talk with two men who came armed with about 13 other White people to her North Carolina home last year looking for a missing teenage girl -- and she doesn't care that a court acquitted them.
Still, lawyers for the two men say they not only want the families to come together and sort out what they believe is a misunderstanding, but their clients also want an apology from Monica Shepard and her teen son, Dameon, as well as from their family's lawyers, for comments they feel painted their clients as racists.
quote:
the Shepards filed a civil lawsuit likening the group to Ku Klux Klan night riders and demanding, among other relief, more than $25,000 in damages, legal fees and "training concerning the history of racism and mob violence" for those who came to their home in May.
quote:
The attorneys acknowledge that their clients, Kita and Wood, were armed, that Kita was wearing his law enforcement uniform outside his jurisdiction and the pair were among 15 people who went to the wrong home in the middle of the night wanting to know the whereabouts of a missing girl.
quote:
the lawyers told CNN that the facts show the group's actions were merely the product of concern for the missing girl -- and the Shepards should apologize now that the details have emerged.

The Shepards' lawsuit -- filed by the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law in January, before state Judge Chad Hogston acquitted the two men -- accuses "the mob" of trespassing, brandishing weapons and harassing and intimidating the Shepards. A news release alleges the group "committed racialized terror when they approached and menaced a Black family in their North Carolina home."
"I've said this before: It's about accountability," the mother told CNN. "You can't just form a mob and go around being vigilante citizens. There's laws against that. I'm not interested in sitting down. It's all about accountability at the end of the day."

So like blm?

The biracial 15-year-old was troubled, possibly suicidal, and the Kitas, including dad Timothy and mom Mary, were frantically searching for her, family attorney James Rutherford said.
quote:
Monica Shepard found the criminal verdict "curious" and disappointing, she said. Asked if she felt the missing girl's race -- which Rutherford has repeatedly raised in defending his clients -- is relevant, she said, "It doesn't matter because there was no aggression on my part."
I can't post the picture of the family, but they sure as hell look like a bunch of kkk members with biracial children.

Watching too much TV and movies, and incapable of differentiating between make believe and reality.

Being worried about Ku Klux Klan night riders showing up to your home in 2021 is about like watching Jurassic Park and worrying about a pack of raptors showing up to your house.
I've seen the attempts at race baiting, the best those pussies can come up with are 17 year old kids standing still while smiling and garage pull loops.

It is what it is. I've zero sympathy for the homeowners. They immediately labeled the group of people who were frantically looking for a missing girl as 'klan-like'..and demands they pay her $25k.
The idea of her also demanding they go to what is essentially an indoctrination camp, disgusting.

Looks like idiots all around. Not sure she's entitled to $25k for a deputy questioning her about a missing kid. Good luck.

Was that picture taken right after the family was informed that Disneyland was closed?

Stories like this demonstrate just how emotionally sensitive and fragile a large percentage of black people are. A young girl is missing but let's make it all about me. Absolutely disgusting.

They want an apology and no one will say "sorry"?
