Jasper Texas - Has it Happened Again?
Various | 1-20-02 | Self

Unconfirmed reports indicate another "Hate Crime" may have happened in Jasper County Texas.

But this time - it appears the victim is a white male.

Officials are investigating the death of a white male, who was reportedly picked up in a truck by four black males.

That white male is now dead. The circumstances behind this are unknown right now.

This is all unconfirmed - I am working getting more details.

Stand by.

White males cannot be victims of hate crimes.

Black on white crime???

This is classified as gang related violence, not a hate crime.

This happens weekly in all of our major metro areas. Many gangs initiation requires the murder of a white person. Never will be classified as hate.

When I was a child, my uncle was the mayor of Jasper. I spent many pleasant days in this town, as it was not far from where we lived at the time. It is a very pretty typical small east Texas town. I can't believe so much meaness is going on there.

I agree! That's why ALL "hate" crimes should be revoked! Current law covers ALL "hate " crimes anyway! Its more PC lunacy!

Well, if it's true, then it's not a hate crime. Hate crimes can only be committed by white males against non-white males, unless the white male being acted against is a homosexual.

White males cannot be victims of hate crimes.

That is what the left wing, liberal, socialist, pinko communist Democrats say. I don't believe it for a second, however.

"When I was a child, my uncle was the mayor of Jasper. I spent many pleasant days in this town, as it was not far from where we lived at the time. It is a very pretty typical small east Texas town."

I agree. My family drove through it every other week on their way form Beaumont to Quitman in the 60s to visit my grandmother. I've passed through it a dozen times since. There's not good reason for this garbage to be happening there. It's not that isolated, certainly not confined, and it shouldn't be economically depressed. Maybe the all space and variety of industry just allowed the races to live separately in isolation and ignore one another for too long, and now they hate.

PINELAND, Texas (AP) - An East Texas hitchhiker is dead and the man who gave him a ride is in jail on murder charges after authorities say the victim was killed when he couldn't pay promised money for gasoline.

Ken Bimbo Tillery, 44, of Pineland apparently stopped a vehicle in a rural area of Jasper County, looking for a ride home early Saturday morning.

The driver, Blake Little, 34, agreed on the condition that Tillery pay for gasoline when they arrived in Pineland, Sabine County Sheriff Tom Maddox said Sunday. Little and four others in the vehicle were from Jasper.

``They went by his house, but didn't drop him off because they were going by the gas station,'' Maddox said. ``They got to the gas station, and that's when Tillery tried to depart by running.''

One or more of the passengers chased down Tillery and a scuffle ensued. Maddox said Little then drove over Tillery, killing him.

Little was arrested Sunday on murder charges. The death remains under investigation.

In the same rural area of East Texas, James Byrd Jr. of Jasper died 3½ years ago when he was chained at his ankles behind a pickup truck and dragged for nearly three miles along a bumpy country road until he was dismembered and decapacitated.

Byrd was black and the men in the truck were white.

In this case, Maddox said the five men in the truck were black and Tillery was white.

``It's too early in the investigation to tell whether it was racially motivated, but it's still very much under investigation,'' Maddox said.

Investigators believe both drugs and alcohol were involved.

Pineland is about 130 miles northeast of Houston and about 20 miles north of Jasper.

# 16: African Americans cannot commit any crime, according to the Government and it's liberal media-they are all victims-all the time.

James Roesch, 20 yr old Imperial Wizard of the Knights of the White Kamelia now lives there. He moved from Ohio to Jasper when he was 18, got married and is trying to set up in the location. I don't know what kind of reception he has gotten, but I have read a couple articles that weren't favorable to him.
