4 killed in mass shooting in Los Angeles. Waiting for more details.
Crime
No knees
Another black shooting for which no one will take a knee, because it was another black doing the shooting.
Crime
Just like dad?
A burned body was found in the back of an SUV that was on fire in Groveland, located in Lake County, Florida. The dead man was named Jermonick Luther, Jr., and his mother says he was an angel.
Now I am not one to hold people’s families against them, but a search for his name discovers that Jermonick Luther, Sr. had no fewer than 8 felonies and 2 misdemeanors on the scoresheet. Nearly every one of them was for possession of large amounts and several different types of drugs. One for armed burglary, and one for aggravated battery. A couple included DUI. In other words, dad was a drug dealer. It may even be related to a similar crime not too far away in Marion county, in my opinion.
This is the story of black America: largely absent, drug dealing criminals fathering children who grow to do the same. Since, like nearly all homicides of blacks, the police weren’t his killers, BLM doesn’t care. There will be no protests, no taking of knees, no celebrities championing his cause. Mr. Luther’s death will be mourned by almost no one.
Until that cycle is broken, until people vow to change this all to frequent story, black men will continue to die by the thousands, forgotten because their death serves no political purpose.
Crime
Mass shooter stopped?
There are stories all over mainstream media about the man in Atlanta who was arrested in a Publix grocery store while in possession of an AR15, a shotgun, and half a dozen handguns. Reading all of the stories made me realize that something was odd about all of them.
Then I found it. It took a lot of searching, but I finally found the entire story. Here is a picture of the suspect:
Never mind, nothing to see here. It wasn’t a white guy, so that isn’t a story. Isn’t that odd, that big media always leaves race out of the story, unless the criminal is a white man?
The funny part here is that this man may not have committed a crime. He has a concealed weapons permit, and at least one version of the story says that police were called only after a man saw him with an AR15 in a bathroom stall. He was only charged with “Reckless Conduct,” which seems like a bullshit charge designed to allow the cops to confiscate his property.
Crime
Freelance Redistribution
This woman decided to gain control of her ailing grandmother’s bank accounts, then proceeded to steal more than $66,000 from her in less than a year.
Did I mention that she is a registered Democrat?
Crime
One life != another
A South Florida real estate agent was abducted, forced to drive to two ATMs, withdrawing $500 from each, then shot and murdered. He did everything the robber asked, and was murdered anyway. The anti-gun crowd tells us to “just do what they want” and you will be fine. What if what they want is to kill you?
What makes this case so unusual is that the murderer/robber was arrested for armed robbery three years ago at the age of 12. That’s correct- the killer was 15 years old, and at the time of the killing already had a long rap sheet for armed robbery, battery on a LEO, burglaries, resisting arrest with violence, and other crimes.
This shooting is simply verification of my post of several days ago: Black males make up about 6% of the US population, but commit 45% of the homicides.
I know the left feels like one life is equal to another, but I disagree. I know which of the two I would rather see walking around, and it isn’t this douchebag. Carry a gun. Practice. Be ready and willing to defend your own life.

It’s a fact
Demetrius Cox Jr was shot and killed a day after his 21st birthday, only a few hours after his mother bailed him out of the Osceola County jail, where he had been held since April on murder charges. At 21 years old, he was still a high school student at an Orange County private school that is located in Pine Hills, one of the most dangerous zip codes in the USA. He has been involved in at least three different gang-related shootings, including one that resulted in the death of a small child.
The family is blaming- you guessed it- gun owners for his death.
“This family said it wants gun violence to stop. “Stop the violence and find something else to do. It ain’t worth it. We’re all losing kids out here,” Burton said. “The gun violence is horrific since COVID,” Laster said. “It’s through the roof. Somebody needs to do something about this.”
Even people in the comments blaming guns while ignoring the truth:
Blacks make up 13% of the US population, but commit 45% of the homicides.
The facts are obvious to anyone who chooses to look at them without bias:
- Black males are the victim of homicide 10 to 20 times more often than any other demographic
- Black males commit homicides 15 to 35 times more often than any other demographic
- Black males commit armed robbery 10 to 15 times more often whites
- Most crime is committed by perpetrators who are the same race as their victims
- More than 90% of homicides where the victim is black, so is their killer
It would be easy to take a racist slant, but I don’t think that blacks are inherently more violent or prone to crime. Studies show that black children raised by non-black parents more closely model their non-white peers. Instead, I believe that the root cause lies in the disintegration of the black family. In black communities, we now have more than two out of every three black children growing up in single parent households. Compare that to white children, where three out of four grow up having two parents in the family. In 1960, that was where black families were: 22% of black children were in single parent homes.
In other words, children growing up raising themselves are growing up without the guidance and direction that having a parent around provides. Children model the behavior of their role models. This is how we learn to comply with societal norms. When they are young, those role models are their parents. As they approach the teenage years, those role models become their peers. When there are no parents around, the young children model the behavior of the only others that they see: older kids.
So the black community has as its role model the leaders of street gangs. Criminals. This has been the case for nearly four generations. Solve the increasing problems of dads leaving as soon as a woman gets pregnant, and you solve the problems of our society. Of course this will never happen, because the people who could solve it are instead selling away the American nuclear family in exchange for votes. As long as we continue to subsidize single mothers, we will get more of them, which in turn will erode our society even further.
Pine Hills
Orlando crime news
One “teen” shoots another “teen” inside of an Orlando gym. Whenever the local media talks about “teens,” anyone who has lived in Orlando knows that they are talking about black gang members. On a side note, since it is already illegal for 15 year old “teens” to have guns, what gun laws would prevent these shootings?
In other Orlando crime news, most of the time violent crime occurs in Pine Hills, or as locals refer to it: Crime Hills. Today was no exception:
Pine Hills
Savages?
An Orlando cop has gotten himself into trouble because he was caught referring to black people at a local gay bar as ‘savages.’
The bar, called Parliament House, is right between two notoriously crime ridden neighborhoods: Paramore, and Pine Hills. I have written about Pine Hills being one of Orlando’s ‘no go’ zones before. In fact, I have blogged about the neighborhood on many occasions. Pine Hills is one of the 4 most dangerous zip codes in America.
Savages, indeed.
Pine Hills
No go zones
Like all large cities, there are areas of Orlando that are just not safe to enter. In Orlando, one of those areas is Pine Hills. Locals have referred to that area as “Crime Hills” since the late 80’s. The area of Pine Hills used to be an upscale neighborhood that primarily housed engineers who worked for Martin Marietta’s (later Lockheed Martin) Orlando plant. It was the first neighborhood in Florida to contain golf courses. At just over 12 square miles, this neighborhood is just about 1% of the total land area of the county, but accounts for 10% of the murders, and 15% of robberies.
Martin Marietta was once the largest employer in Orlando, with 15,000 employees. I remember when I was a child, my father (who was an engineer for an electronics firm) used to do work there, but he could never tell me what he did there, claiming it was classified. However, he would occasionally bring home pictures of missiles being test fired, which my brother and I happily hung on our walls.
By 1987, that payroll had declined to 5,700. The engineers have moved away, and the area is now what they call an “ethnically and racially diverse” neighborhood where crime runs rampant. The census figures for the area’s income are unreliable because the statistical area includes a high income area that makes it appear to be more affluent than it is.
So with that background, we are now equipped to hear the tale of how Tavaris Davis got robbed. Apparently, one man at a convenience store was robbing another at gunpoint, and the two began shooting at each other. Then a third man joined in. Marksmanship was poor, because all of the shots exchanged hit cars, buildings, etc. with only one person being hit in the ankle. When Tavaris Davis realized what was going on, he fled. While fleeing, he was robbed at gunpoint by a group of locals who were unrelated to the individuals robbing each other at the nearby store.
The vast majority of gun violence in this nation is located within just a few square miles. The rest of the nation has a crime rate that is on par with Canada. The areas that are filled with crime tend to be “diverse” neighborhoods. Unless we can have an honest conversation about race and the causes of crime without people calling others “racist,” we can never find a solution.
