~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

An Alabama middle school principal has been arrested and charged in the cold-case deaths of three people that occurred more than a decade ago.

Keante Harris, an assistant principal at McAdory Middle School, surrendered to the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office Wednesday, on a fugitive of justice warrant.

His arrest stemmed from the January 2013 murders of Cheryl Colquitt-Thompson, Quinones King, and Rodney Cottrell, a trio of Alabama residents found dead in Clayton County, Georgia.

The three were lured to a home, forced inside by gunpoint, and tortured by Harris and three other accomplices, the Clayton County Sheriff's Office said in a news release - adding that the three other suspects have been arrested as well.

Identified as Kenneth Thompson, Kevin Harris and Darrell Harris. They were all arrested across three states, the sheriff's office said.

'On January 13, 2013, Union City Police Department was on general patrol in the area of Interstate I-85 (Fulton County) when they observed a 2010 Dodge Charger that appeared to be abandoned,' officers wrote of how they handled the 11-year-old case.

'Upon further inspection, Union City Officers located (3) deceased bodies in the vehicle.

'It was determined through the investigation that all three victims were tortured and murdered in Clayton County and dumped in Fulton County.

'The victims were lured to a residence on Magnolia Drive in Jonesboro where they were forced into the residence at gunpoint,' the update, issued Friday, continued.

'Later, they were loaded into the back seat of a Dodge Charger and taken to Fulton County.'

The murders anymore are extreme in their brutality and torture seems to be the rule. The world is descending into hell very quickly.
Is it just me or does the perp seem to be holding back a smirk? Middle school principal, what a good influence on the kids. /s

I’m thinking it’s almost *genetic*, by now.

"Never ceases to amaze me how less than 15% of the American population can cause so much chaos and mayhem."

I think the black population of the USA is 13%

What amazes me is when I read that 40+% of the population of major US cities like New Orleans, Chicago, Detroit & etc. cannot read or write. We spend huge amounts of money on education in these cities.

Watch black pro sports players being interviewed......will tell you all you need to know.

At this point when it comes to black folks in general I’d settle for just being able to speak proper English......it’s almost as if many of them trash the English language as an insult......but that can’t be......can it? 🤔

According to Joe Kenda it is always one of 3 reasons. Money, sex or revenge.

Until there is a mass uprising to call for change in “the community”, you are 100% correct, this IS their culture.

McAdory Schools are located in the lovely little Birmingham suburb of Bessemer. Recently, Bessemer earned the distinction of being ranked the most dangerous city in the US in which to live.

White people, and people of any race who abhor mindless violence, stay as far from Bessemer as humanly possible.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

Who needs to send their kids to a school with that kind of threat hanging over their heads?
