[leftwinger]

@joespecial protected words for weak minded lunatics.

Cracker Jimmy Tom Honky are OK to stab with now? No proof needed. Just say it happened and it hurt me deeply you poor dumb incapable black-tailed OXYEN

 

[Stryder50]

Honestly, they both look like thugs.

Takes one to know one.

 

[leftwinger]

If listening to rap loud in CVS parking lot music yelling **** every other word, can I be legally stabbed?

Country is being lost, common sense lost, letting people like JoeB131 "immigrate" in.

"Portland jury clears black man of assault because white man he stabbed had said the n-word

View attachment 1190928

A black man was acquitted of stabbing a white man in Oregon after he claimed the attack was self-defense because the victim called him a racial slur.

Gary Edwards, 43, was charged with second-degree assault for stabbing a man in Portland near a light rail stop on July 8, KPTV reported.

However, he was found not guilty of the crime on October 31 after the jury learned the victim was using racial slurs in the aftermath of the altercation.

Edwards, who is homeless and has a previous assault conviction, admitted to knifing the victim, Gregory Howard Jr., but claimed it was in self-defense because the other man called him the n-word, according to Oregon Live.

He was convicted of attempted second-degree assault in 2021 and was sentenced to three years in prison for another stabbing in 2020, records show.

Edwards was accused of fourth-degree assault for fighting with a shop clerk, but the case was dismissed because he could not secure a public defender."

I can see punching someone in the chops for using the N-word. But, letting a maniac go because the victim said a racial slur after being stabbed and attacked is insane.

White dude forget his conceal carry else the knife-wielding fiend would be pushing up Black Pansies (as opposed to Daisies):

Black Pansies

So if I hear a disparaging word like cracker or such I can just blow em away........

I'm not fond of AI Videos, but this one made a point.

This wasn't some nice innocent white guy just minding his own business.

This was two homeless stew-bums getting into a fight over cigarettes.

Did the defendant take the stand?

 

[JoeB131]

Well counselor, please describe in legal detail the legal right to give a citizen a "smash mouth", or knife stabbing for "saying stupid shit."
The court and jury would like to know.

Um, the jury acquitted the guy. case resolved.

Didn't you wingnuts argue that it was okay that Trayvon Martin got shot because he was bigger than George Zimmerman?

So, answer the earlier question Joe...What you're saying is that if someone says something to you that you don't like, calls you a name, whatever, you can stab them? IOW, assault with intent?

I'm saying this was a throwdown between two homeless guys with long criminal records. I just can't get worked up about it.

Three months for stabbing a stewbum who was threatening you seems more than reasonable.

 

[JoeB131]

Did the defendant take the stand?

Don't know. He's not required to. Sounds like the jury had a slam dunk case of self-defense.

Portland is a great city to be a violent criminal

I remember decades ago watching a segment on 60 Minutes where criminals were leaving some states and moving to Portland because it was so much easier to commit crimes there and not have to worry about being arrested or being in jail long.

yeah no......he was trying to bash his brains out and earned his ticket to hell

So don't come whining to me when a black person uses the same logic.

That's nice, you have a meme.

I don't think anyone ever said that the DC MAGA Bomber ws a white man.

 

[ThisIsMe]

Did he say it after the fact or before?



It is unclear if there is any evidence to suggest that Howard used the slur before he was stabbed.

The problem with this story is that it gives no details about how the case was argued in court or why the jury voted to acquit.

This gives a bit more detail, such as both men were homeless. Both had extensive criminal records.

So because you dont know, you'll automatically assume it was before? Im noticing a pattern with you, just like the woman in the cab, youre always going to take the side that supports the perpetrator is the one who's right.

By the way, what does it matter if the guy used the N word at all? Do you honestly believe that someone using that word justifies attempted murder?

would you take the same stance if the white guy stabbed the black guy if the black guy called him a "cracker"?

Trayvon Martin lurked in hiding to attack Zimmerman, and then began to pound Zimmerman's head into the cement sidewalk = attempted murder. Zimmerman shot in self-defense for a PHYSICAL ATTACK.

Not aware of anyone saying Martin was shot just because of his size. But this sort of lie and distortion is common to your type of criminal mindset.

The thug you are defending stabbed someone for saying something they didn't like.

Fact that you fail to see the difference here is clue you are also a danger to society since you justify violence as a first resort to insult or verbal offense.

There is nothing in the linked article to show/suggest that the stabbed victim was threatening the assailant.
Jury was far from objective if they acquitted an attacker who used a deadly weapon.

Excerpt:
Prosecutor Katherine Williams told the jury it did not matter what the victim said after he was stabbed.

'The defendant is not scared for his life. He didn't retreat, he sauntered up - and he sauntered away after he stabbed someone. The defendant created the situation,' Williams said.

Despite the prosecutors pleas, the jury found Edwards not guilty.

Thinking about this, this incident could be a snippet of things to come under
the new democrat party of radicals.

You mean after he stalked the kid across the neighborhood? For all Martin knew, Zimmerman was a pervert who wanted to rape him.

It sounds like this was also a physical attack by the larger white stewbum against the smaller and weaker black stewbum.

If he didn't take the stand in his own defense, how would the jury learn that the victim used the N-word before the stabbing?
