The attention paid to the murder of Martha Odom is quickly fading. Some of the usual voices on social media clamored about it for clicks and engagement and then moved on. This latest whatever the hell happened last weekend with the loon charging past the Secret Service got all of the attention for a few days and now we have soaring gas prices and Martha Odom will be forgotten. That is just how the endlessly refreshed “news” cycle works.
I spent some time, far less than she deserved, on Matha Odom. Looking at pictures of her just fills me with rage. What I want to get back to now is her “alleged” killer, Markel Lee.
This was an opportunity for lots of people to get up and decry all sorts of stuff, railing against broken homes and lenient judges. Those are legitimate issues, especially the latter, but it misses the point I want to make.
It’s is easy to single out Markel Lee, the accused killer of Martha Odom. He is on camera with the gun. This brave gangsta then fled the mall….driven by his grannie. Seriously. Grannie ratted him out to the police when they tracked her car using the license plate and she identified him from a photo.
From his mugshot he looks like pretty much every other young 2G killer out there….
Trying to look tough while scared shitless, a complete lack of humanity in his eyes.
The social media influencer types want to paint Markel Lee as a monster, some aberration that is the result of poor parenting, a lack of a father (I assume), a culture that glorifies violence. That misses the bigger issue…
Markel Lee isn’t anything special.
He isn’t some uniquely monstrous black criminal. He isn’t an especially dangerous example, a violent outlier. As initially reported: “(Baton Rouge Police) Chief Morse said Lee has an extensive history in the juvenile court system” but that is hardly unique or special among young black men. The 17 year old male 2G that doesn’t have a criminal record is the outlier.
I would bet that on an average day he was just a typical low IQ 2G criminal that wouldn’t attract much notice, right up until the point that he started shooting and murdered Martha Odom.
In the same way I suspect Karmelo Anthony was just an average black kid, right up until something triggered him. He was clearly a little punk bitch who was carrying a knife at a track meet because he thinks he is a badass or something. He probably had broken a series of laws, maybe caught and maybe not as we don’t really know, but in that one fateful moment something set him off and he murdered Austin Metcalf in cold blood.
That is where the focus ought to be in the wake of the murder of Martha Odom.
Every single black is one stimulus away from a total chimp-out.
You don’t know what will set them off. You can’t tell. Markel was just hanging with his homies at the mall, saw a different group of homies that they had some prior beef with (we assume) and for whatever reason they started shooting at each other: Mall of Louisiana shooting video shows suspect with gun; Baton Rouge police detail arrest
Police say the shooting took place after an argument between two groups.
It is still unclear how many shooters were involved as well as how many weapons were used. Police said they found one gun at the scene.
Detectives wrote in Lee’s arrest warrant that video shows “two groups of young black male subjects approach each other” in the food court.
“As they crossed paths, other people in the food court began running, as though responding to shots being fired,” investigators said.
We likely won’t ever know what they were “arguing” about. It doesn’t matter and we can assume it was something absolutely stupid.
What is really troubling about 2G yoofs like Markel Lee and Karmelo Anthony is not that they are unusually dangerous but rather how very common they are. There are quite literally millions of young blacks of either sex just like them that are ticking time bombs, just waiting for the right set of circumstances or something as simple as being looked at in the “wrong way” to set them off. They might go years without that moment, they might go a lifetime. After all, not every black is a murderer, but on the other hand every black is a potential murderer.
This is what makes the admonition to never relax around blacks so critical. While there are plenty of blacks that are all but waving a flag to tell you they are a mass shooting looking for a place to happen, there are far more that look like just average blacks but that are on the verge of a violent chimp-out at any moment.
Avoid places where blacks congregate and when the number of blacks exceeds zero? Never, ever relax.
“…look like just average blacks…”
just average?
What does that even mean?
They ALL look like basal animals to me, maybe partially human.
Mostly primate, and their behavior proves it.
Just guessing, but is there the chance that exposure, in all the usual ways, to negros causes one to become complacent with them?
I almost never see them in person so it’s normal for me to think the way I do.
By being around them, or seeing them on TV on in web videos, perhaps it’s possible to normalize them and therefore let your defenses down.
You know, like them people that swim with sharks and rassle tigers and lions, and let pit bulls roam their houses.
Everything is cool until it isn’t.
For me, it’s not hard to live a life in the absence of negros. It’s only natural.
