Tampa Bay Times ^ | AP

MIAMI BEACH — A gunman fatally shot a tourist eating dinner with his family at a Miami Beach restaurant as the man protected his 1-year-old son, police and a family member said.

Tamarius Blair Davis, 22, of Norcross, Georgia, told investigators he shot Dustin Wakefield, 21, on Tuesday night because he “was high on mushrooms, which made him feel empowered,” according to his arrest report.

The good news in this awful tragedy, the Miami Beach had him handcuffed and arrested in four minutes and the judge refused bail.

I’m certainly glad the woke Biden administration is concentrating on the domestic white supremacist terrorists threatening our Republic instead of wasting time on the Tilaban doing the same.

Tommy Davis, the suspect’s father, told The Associated Press that his son had traveled to Miami Beach with some friends. He said his son has never been in trouble or had mental health issues. No arrest record for the younger Davis could be found.

I’m a little surprised he didn’t say his son was an aspiring rapper, too.

His son’s a racist POS.

What a douchebag.

So when is this country going to face facts about the nature of violent crimes and who commits them? All this defund the cops nonsense has given aircover for these criminals. If this psycho had been gunned down by the cops, he would be hailed as a martyr today with zero mention of the heinous action he committed. That makes me sick to my stomach just thinking about it.

If you’re empowered, it’s OK. Maybe write an essay and then go free.

If the state of affairs today is such that someone has to be armed to deal with a fellow citizen threatening to shoot his one-year-old son, then we have collapsed far beyond the point where a gun will redeem it.

The gun should be used as nothing than protection for the trip to the ship or the plane that we booked to take us to one of the advanced countries.

Only a Lad - Oingo Boingo

Johnny was bad, even as a child everybody could tell,
Everyone said, “If you don’t get straight
You’ll surely go to hell.”

But Johnny didn’t care,
He was an outlaw by the time that he was ten years old,
He didn’t want to do what he was told

Just a prankster, juvenile gangster.
His teachers didn’t understand,
They kicked him out of school at a tender early age,
Just because he didn’t want to learn things

He had other interests
He liked to burn things!
The lady down the block,
She had a radio that Johnny wanted oh so bad,
So he took it the first chance he had.
Then he shot her in the leg,
And this is what she said

“Only a lad. You really can’t blame him.”
“Only a lad. Society made him.”
“Only a lad. He’s our responsibility.”
Oh, oh, oohh oh oh oh

“Only a lad. He really couldn’t help it.”
“Only a lad. He didn’t want to do it.”
“Only a lad. He’s underprivileged and abused.”
Perhaps a little bit confused?

Oh oh ohhh, oohhh oh oh ohh whoa whoa whoa
Oh oh ohhh, oohhh oh oh ohh whoa whoa whoa

His parents gave up, they couldn’t influence his attitude,
Nobody could help.
The little man had no gratitude.
And when he stole the car,
Nobody dreamed that he would try to take it so far.

He didn’t mean to hit the poor man,
Who had to go and die.
It made the judge cry.

“Only a lad. He really couldn’t help it.”
“Only a lad. He didn’t want to do it.”
“Only a lad. He’s underprivileged and abused.”
Perhaps a little bit confused?
Oh oh oh, ohh ohh ohh

It’s not his fault that he can’t believe,
It’s not his fault that he can’t behave,
Society made him go astray.
Perhaps if we’re nice he’ll go away,
Perhaps he’ll go away,
He’ll go away

“Only a lad. You really can’t blame him.”
“Only a lad. Society made him.”
“Only a lad. He’s our responsibility.”

Hey there Johnny you really don’t fool me,
You get away with murder,
And you think it’s funny!
You don’t give a damn if we live or if we die
Oh oh oh, ohh ohh ohh oh oh,
Hey there Johnny boy,
I hope you fry!

Oh oh oh, ohh ohh ohh oh oh,
Oh oh oh, ohh ohh ohh oh oh.

Indeed.

#9: "So when is this country going to face facts about the nature of violent crimes and who commits them?"

We all know who the criminals are. But we are supposed to pretend we don't notice. We notice, and we avoid them. Keep a wide berth, for safety's sake.

Black young man shoots white young man because “drugs made him feel empowered”.

Which begs the question, what has made him believe he should kill whites if he feels empowered?

Democrat news media, entertainment, politician, and school indoctrination.

Don’t expect it to be upgraded to a hate crime, it was downgraded to second degree. It was obviously with racial malice aforethought: he was looking for a white person to kill ( read the article).

But lets blame mushrooms for reducing inhibitions, not leftist agitator inspired race hate for providing murderous motivation. That’s ok, thats how the left works. Don’t help people and treat wounds, open wounds and pour salt in them to achieve power.
