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

[leftwinger]

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.

He could have went home. Ran home. That dog don't hunt Slo-Joe.

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.

So, some lives are more valuable than others eh?

"Transit cameras showed Edwards, a fixed-blade knife clasped at his side, approaching Howard from behind as he sat on a bench. The video has no sound, but Howard springs up and pushes Edwards as soon as he sees him. The duo scuffle against a wall for a brief moment, ending with Edwards stabbing Howard in the shoulder.

Defense attorney Daniel Small said the most relevant evidence was recorded later, when security officers heard the wounded man shouting the racist slur and captured it on their body cameras as he described the incident.

Edwards is Black; Howard is white. Both are alike in other respects. Each is 43 years old, with arrest records reflecting the cycles of homelessness and violent disorder.

Small said Edwards was simply approaching Howard and offering a polite trade: his knife for some cigarettes."

The man with the stab wound picked a racist fight, a defense attorney argued.

LOL!!!


"Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, my client is not guilty of armed robbery. He simply wanted to trade his 9mm pistol for all the cash in the liquor store's register. The store clerk is a racist."

I’m sure he pleaded with the jury, “Dat honky cracka called me nigga, niggas. Y’all be my niggas, right?”
And the white jurors responded, “Yes, my African-American brother man. Right on!”

Does that cut both ways so if a Black calls a White a Cracker and the White guy stabs him, white guy does not get charged.

Only if he is called cracker after he stabs.

They are putting white people in jail for defending themselves with a gun yet give Blacks a pass for stabbing because a slur was used.

The thing is, the slur came after the stabbing. Like our boy was clairvoyant.

I'm wonder how the claim that the victim uttered the slur prior to the stabbing got into the trial without the defendant taking the stand? The only evidence is of a slur after the stabbing.

It's not surprising at all for this blue hell city.
The white guy should have thanked him for not shooting him while he was at it.

"Moments later, body camera footage from security officers captured Howard shouting a racist slur at Edwards after he had been stabbed."

Joe Joe Joe commee Joe. I knew I could find it. Must be true. Its from Twatter.

What the **** are you talking about?

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?

I don't know, I didn't sit in on the trial.
Perhaps the jury just voted to not convict because they were pissed off they got called in for jury duty on something so petty.

 

[JoeB131]

"Moments later, body camera footage from security officers captured Howard shouting a racist slur at Edwards after he had been stabbed."

Which doesn't exclude the guy saying it before the altercation.

Let's be blunt, if this was a white stewbum stabbing a black stewbum, and not the other way around, you guys would be all for it.

How is what was said AFTER the man was stabbed even admissible? The crime in question does not have anything to do with what was or wasn't said after. What a crock.

Anyone dumb enough to go to Portland after this case probably deserves whatever happens to them. The justice system in urban hellholes are a complete failure.

You think there's a good city to be a homeless person in?

 

[Rawley]

Portland is a great city to be a violent criminal

WTF is wrong with these people?

 

[Rogue AI]

What does that have to do with the fact this judge allowed a post de facto comment to be considered as a defense? Stop your whiny deflections.

We are light on stabbers so must import some more for old Commee "not a big deal" Joes needs.//

"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.

Why was that white idiot there calling people the n-word?

Words are not justification for stabbing people, at least not in a civilized country. These feral animals need to be removed from society. Victim blaming, a liberal specialty, how pathetic.
