Ohio landscaper shot dead in argument over grass cuttings, say cops

What started as a routine landscaping job in Dayton, Ohio, ended in tragedy when a 22-year-old worker was gunned down in broad daylight – all because of grass cuttings, police say.

Tanner Staggs had been trimming a client’s yard with his crew on September 18 when the neighbor, Travis Jackson, confronted him about grass and mud on his vehicle, according to court documents obtained by WDTN.

An argument between the two men escalated quickly – and ended with Staggs shot multiple times on the sidewalk.

“He had shot towards the house, where the landscapers were on the sidewalk, and he was in the street,” Gus Sinclair told WHIO. “This guy lost his life over nothing.”

We can probably guess how this went down. The White victim, Tanner Staggs, was just doing his job, and some grass clippings and perhaps a little mud inadvertently ended up on the car of the black murderer, Travis Daniel Jackson.

Feeling that his negro pride had somehow been disresepcted, Jackson came over and started chimping out before doing the completely rational thing and shooting Staggs. Now a 36 year old “man” who admitted to the shooting is going to jail for the rest of his life and a 22 year old guy who seemed well liked is dead, all because blacks have absolutely zero impulse control especially when it comes to their misplaced and inflated sense of pride.

Had he simply pointed out that his car had clippings and mud on it, I am confident that Staggs would have been happy to hose it off or he could have simply done it himself. It isn’t a big deal to a normal person but to a 2G it is a mortal insult.

On the flip side, Staggs made the fatal error of relaxing around a black. It takes very little/next to nothing to cause a 2G to chimp out and often that means gunfire.

Any interaction with a black can turn violent with little to no warning, so it is prudent for you to assume you are in imminent danger whenever one is nearby. You can probably get away with it a bunch of times but all it takes is once and you can end up dead.
