Charles Nicholas Wall, 45, of Andrews and Laura Ashley Anderson, 21, of Georgetown both died following the incident.”

A local mayor, Brian Henry, then posted the following on his FB page (the post has since been removed):

“I am sickened by the senseless killings in Georgetown last night.

“2 innocent people murdered. Not 2 thugs or people wanted on multiple warrants. 2 white people defenselessly gunned down by a black man. Tell me, where is the outrage? When and where will we begin rioting and burning down businesses in Georgetown. Answer is simple, it won’t happen. Because we live in a civil society, and it won’t change what happened. The victims’ families and friends will mourn and undoubtedly feel anger and confusion. Can’t imagine their pain. So why do we stand by and allow BLM to lawlessly destroy great American cities and threaten their citizens on a daily basis? Should they have a carte blanche license to pillage and destroy? Why?

This has gone on too long. Rise up America. This BLM and Antifa movement must be treated like the terror organizations that they are. Law and order, protection of liberty, and the right of peaceful enjoyment. If we don’t have that, we no longer have a country. My wife cried last night when she read about these murders. I’m sure their family is devastated. This did not have to happen. Does the senseless murder of these people not matter as much because it doesn’t fit the media narrative. You are damn right their lives matter. And we should all be outraged and engaged to demand action and stem the tide of lawless fringe. We can’t stay silent anymore. All lives matter. There I said it. So am I racist now? I think not. How about the POS who just gunned down 3 defenseless white people? You be the judge.

“We need Law and Order. Now!”


Following that post, Mr. Henry has received a good bit of backlash. BLM is apparently calling for his removal as mayor. One comment (which I do agree with to some extent) points out that there is a difference between police violence and violence between citizens. At the same time, I think that is a chicken vs. egg discussion.

Another comment, which I find particularly naive, reads: “we will not allow hate of any kind to separate our community. We will always win with Love for everyone.” Two people being murdered after a fender bender means that there is already plenty of hate and that love is not winning.

Overall I agree with what the mayor wrote and wish he had stood by his words instead of (predictably) apologizing.

The mayor had to delete it because he would be bullied and sent on his way! That is how the left operate.

Never heard anything about this story until here. Guess it doesn't fit the mainstream media's narrative.

It also makes him look like a dumbass to anyone who has taken the 5 minutes to figure out what the complaint actually is. Maybe he suddenly sprang some self-awareness.

Yes I had heard about it, local news, Gateway Pundit and Breitbart were talking about it. SSDD in America, black on white hate crime that's not talked about because it doesn't fit the narrative.

His point makes perfect sense.

White people have been dealing with disproportionate violence towards them for decades and yet that reality gets ignored. Meanwhile political entities such as BLM have inverted the truth.

Maybe the only thing that will help is white people rising up. Maybe that is what you are hoping for.

I would like to see this solved without any violence. Don't put that on me when your leader encourages people to knock the crap out of tomato guy and he'll bail them out.

I believe you're missing the point. It's about law enforcement procedures and accountability. I have yet to see a protest over a random white person committing a crime against a random black person. If it has happened you'll have to link me up.

They are on their best behavior until this blows over. Then they can go back to their lifelong ambition to arrest and kill as many blacks as possible.
All the with the express of keeping blacks down as a race.

I would be willing personally apologize to the victim's family and friends for having the same skin color as the person who murdered them. There are no excuses for this kind of random violence.

Agree or disagree but it's in no one's best interests to fabricate someone else's point of view.

I've shared this before but this is a good example. I could only find the 51-second video but this went on for a long time. The man is intoxicated and the police officer shouts these commands at him for many minutes until he finally shoots the guy. That police officer is now enjoying a lifetime pension.

I'm not fabricating anyone's point of view. I'm simply stating a fact. The real narrative pushed by the MSM, the DNC and popular culture is, all cops are bad cops, all blacks, including those who are criminals who resist arrest, are victims. It is in the interest of the democrats and their far left allies to maintain this narrative, because it is the only chance they have of defeating Trump in November. You can deny all you want, but that is the established narrative.

And before you start on FOX, I don't watch any television news and have not for years.

The elephant in the room is the reputation they have brought upon themselves. That’s why we’ve gotten to where we are with the police.

None of these people shot (with possibly the exception of Breonna Taylor who was caught up with questionable people) were upstanding citizens. It doesn’t make their deaths acceptable, don’t get me wrong. But they were not upstanding citizens to begin with.

I do think police are often acting excessively AND I think there is a reason police have gotten to this point.

Unfortunately from what I can tell, there has been no response to change “thug” culture, only calls to defund the police and blame white people. Maybe decrease criminal behavior? Does anyone even consider that?
