Sinzae Reed, 13, was shot and killed Oct. 12 ... Krieg Butler, 36, was arrested within 48 hours of Reed's death and charged with murder; however, those charges were dismissed a few days later and have not been refiled. Online postings from local and national activists increased the spotlight on the case ...
Claims self defense after shooting a child in the back and prosecutors release him under the cover of a silent media.

(5,126 posts)Somehow the police, prosecutors office and the judge all turned a blind eye to an obvious murder.
He's being shielded like police officers have been. It seems that town has some sort of insidious system in place that has not been examined an repaired in spite of more DEM judges being elected.
SOME of them changed from reTHUG to DEM.... maybe to make it appear that DEM balance is happening, but they still rule for the rights of whites?
It's horrible because the Judge that accepted the dismissal is a DEM and supposedly politically "non=partisan" guess that means he's a DEM but open to being "bought" by the other side. I don't see anywhere that he was formerly reTHUG, though.

(35,981 posts)We're like kissing cousins to Ohio. They don't call us "Pennsyl-tucky" for nothing.
But yeah, I get your meaning.

(19,335 posts)right along the NY-PA border in Alfred, NY. I became well acquainted with "Pennsyltuckey" in my four years there. Of course that area of NY isn't exactly a hotbed of progressives either.
They're certainly a different breed in that area. 😳

(5,126 posts)Shooting a 13 year old in the back. Self defense my a**
How is he threatened by a 13 year old when he was already in his truck and had a gun?
He had to get out of his truck, come closer to fire.
Makes me wish the shooter was in Russia and a close friend of Putin where someone might find a window on a tall building to push him through.

(6,312 posts)The dude is clearly a first class scumball.
Ohio law does not have a prohibition against people with misdemeanor convictions for domestic violence from carrying firearms. Ohio law prohibits convicted felons from having firearms in their possession.
Because Butler's conviction would bar him from having a gun only under federal law, Franklin County prosecutors cannot file that charge against him.
No charges have been filed in federal court as of Thursday afternoon.

(7,585 posts)To keep this status quo in place in places like Ohio. Nationwide whites now vote roughly 70-30 for the Republican. Until an antidote for racism is found we will continue to see this gut-wrenching miscarriage of justice.
