This is so not cool. There's a peaceful solution for every problem.

[unblock]

1. stochastic terrorism in action

random acts of violence happen all the time, but this is exactly the sort of thing you can reasonably expect to happen, and to happen more often, when political leaders spew garbage about how regulations designed to keep people healthy is somehow an act of tyranny that calls for a "2nd amendment solution".

[cwydro]

64. Um, no.

Doesn’t look like it.

[Boomerproud]

2. In the first reports it said that the victim had 8 children.

Beyond horrible!

[Budi]

3. A woman, her adult son and husband have been charged

DETROIT (AP) — A woman, her adult son and husband have been charged in the fatal shooting of a security guard who refused to let her daughter enter a Family Dollar in Michigan because she wasn't wearing a face mask to protect against transmission of the coronavirus.

Calvin Munerlyn was shot Friday at the store just north of downtown Flint a short time after telling Sharmel Teague’s daughter she had to leave because she lacked a mask, according to Genesee County Prosecutor David Leyton.

Teague, 45, argued with Munerlyn, 43, before leaving. Two men later came to the store.

Teague; her husband, Larry Teague, 44; and Ramonyea Bishop, 23; are charged with first-degree premeditated murder and gun charges.

Larry Teague also is charged with violating Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's executive order mandating that all customers and employees must wear face coverings inside grocery stores, Leyton said.

Witnesses identified Bishop as the man who shot Munerlyn in the back of the head, Leyton said.

Sharmel Teague has been arrested. Police were looking for her husband and son.

No information has been released about the daughter, who has not been charged in the shooting.
More..

14. I'm so glad they found out who they were.. and had the woman in custody..

I wonder how they found out who they were? Their stupid burns red hot..

Thank you for more information on it, Budi.

Calvin Munerlyn

[Budi]

18. Peace Calvin & to his family & friends, may there be a time of peace for them as well.

What a stupid thing to do.

[Cha]

25. Yes, RIP Calvin..

[LisaL]

19. The stores usually have security videos nowdays.

Presumably there also were witnesses.

[Cha]

26. Oh right.. didn't think about that..

Mahalo, Lisa

[muriel_volestrangler]

20. They had their SUV on camera - both for the initial no mask/spitting incident

and when the father and son came back with a gun - see #16.

[Cha]

27. Mahala for the info, Muriel.

[dixiegrrrrl]

58. Ironically, they were not wearing masks, so ID was easy.

Weird, huh?

What a horrible senseless thing to happen.

[Cha]

59. I know, dixiegrrrrl.. it's so senseless.. all of their

lives ruined forever because of hot headed gun owners, and not wanting to wear a mask.. to help Not spreading the deadly virus. That affects Everybody.

So sorry for the security guard, Calvin Munerlyln and his family

[Midnight Writer]

4. I'm glad they got someone. I hope they have the evidence to put them away.

If you would kill someone over something as petty as this, you don't belong in society.

[BComplex]

5. "not so cool"? I'm horrified!

As a person whose husband has to work serving the public every day, this scares me to death.

[Ferrets are Cool]

34. That was my thought also. nt

[captain queeg]

6. Premeditated murder

Let those fuckwads rot in prison.

Anyone want to bet what what the orange traitor will say? Good people, very sad.

[ProfessorGAC]

7. Simply The Effort!

Got yelled at for no mask and the reaction is plot a revenge murder.
And then carry it out!
How much easier it would have been to do nothing!
Now a guy is dead because he did his job and three people are probably jail bound forever.
Thin skins.

[Leith]

8. Before this thread gets any further

This horrible incident had nothing to do with the White House usurper as some people claimed in another thread.

It will most likely be gang related or a murder of someone who pissed the perps off.

We have literally thousands of reasons to dislike agent orange, but this is not one of them.

[lunasun]

10. Gang related ? Where did you read that?

[DrToast]

12. Right? Who's the one jumping to conclusions here?

[DrToast]

11. The article says it was over a mask?

[qwlauren35]

13. If it's about a mask

why is it that you see no link?

[muriel_volestrangler]

16. OK, before your stereotypes go any further, we'll see what was said at the press conference

Sharmel Teague and Munerlyn got into an argument about the policy. Leyton said Sharmel Teague spit at Munerlyn, who then ordered her to leave the store and told the cashier to refuse service to her.

Surveillance video showed Teague and her daughter leaving the store in a red GMC Envoy and enter the nearby River Village Apartments complex. Minutes later, cell phone records show Sharmel Teague made a phone call to Larry Teague, Leyton said.

About 20 minutes after Sharmel and her daughter left the store, Leyton said Larry Teague and Bishop drove the same GMC Envoy back to the store.

Leyton said surveillance video shows Larry Teague and Bishop enter the store and start an argument with Munerlyn. Witnesses reported hearing the suspects ask Munerlyn who had disrespected his wife.

During the altercation, Leyton said Bishop pulled out a handgun and shot 43-year-old Munerlyn in the head. He was rushed to Hurley Medical Center, where he died later Friday.

But sure, say the security guard was likely connected with a gang. That always helps a murdered black man.

[LeftInTX]

21. Who knows what the motive is?

Sounds like she was pissed because she was asked to leave?
The mask is probably secondary.
I have no idea whether this store had a security guard in the past

[DrToast]

23. ...and why was she asked to leave?

[LeftInTX]

24. The mask

But she was obviously pissed that she had to leave.

I get the feeling, the same thing would have happened if she had been asked to leave for another reason.

[cwydro]

36. It seems doubtful the shooters were trumpers however, though who knows.

There were a lot of assumptions made in that thread, which I knew would be proved wrong.

[muriel_volestrangler]

40. Leaps made in another thread don't justify shit about "gang related", however

especially when the prosecutor has already said it was about not wearing a mask.

[cwydro]

41. I don't think it had anything to do with gangs.

But I think it had a lot to do with some asshole idea about being “dissed.”

[LeftInTX]

45. When I read that the suspects had "took off toward the high rise behind FD"

I figured they weren't Trumpers and they weren't carrying rifles

[cwydro]

46. Yeah, I agree.

This was pretty obvious except for those who think everyone who’s an asshole is a trumper.

Unfortunately, assholes come in all colors and political persuasions.

[dware]

61. +100.

I had a feeling that those that were automatically blaming the protesters with firearms and linking it to the Mango Menace were going to end up with egg on their faces, seems I was proven right.

Seems to be a lot of that going around here lately along with some threads that chill me to the bone for wanting violence on the protesters at the Michigan State Capitol.

[cwydro]

63. Yep.

I had a feeling how this would turn out.

People just love to jump to conclusions.

We’ll hear no more about this particularly crime here, I would imagine.

[nilesobek]

65. Yep. Their are lots of threads

filled with misinformation, disinformation, false indignation, false accusations, hyperbole, hysteria, excessive profanity with direct threats of violence and/or glorifying the denial of civil rights.

This all happens before even a scintilla of facts are presented.

Usually, these threads can be identified by the scurrilous nature of the thread titles.

I'm pretty far from perfect but we can do better than this. It's become a joke all over the internet.

Maybe we should start alerting on some of this stuff.

[RhodeIslandOne]

67. Not Trumpers, but probably don't like anyone telling them what to do like Trumpers do

Or even speaking to them perhaps. People don't need to be political to be completely hateful, self-centered, arrogant assholes.

[maxsolomon]

17. It is probably unrelated to the Lockdown Protests or Trumpists.

It may just have been a "you disrespected my wife" shooting. The type of shit that humans are prone to when they have easy access to semi-automatic firearms.

I think you're assuming some things because the victim &/or perps are African-American?

[Leith]

22. I'm assuming some things because

I was born and raised in Flint MI and lived half my adult life there. I attended the university across the street. I'm familiar with the neighborhood.

You seem to have a correct guess with the

"you disrespected my wife" shooting. The type of shit that humans are prone to when they have easy access to semi-automatic firearms.

You did NOT make a correct with a swipe that I'm racist.

[maxsolomon]

29. Leith, It wasn't a swipe. I looked at the names of those involved and made that assumption too.

Also I looked at the photo of the mourners. I'm assuming Stochastic Terror isn't involved because black people generally aren't Trumpists.

If you're a racist, I am too.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

32. Assumption is the mother of all fuckups. When you assume shit about a victim, triple check it

... for evidence.

[canuckledragger]

43. It was a racist enough post

That you're going on my ignore list for.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

31. If you are going to propagate disgusting crackpot theories, you better have solid evidence

Shitty speculation against a murder victim does not help anybody.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. You have presented none, nada, zip, zero, zilch.

[cwydro]

71. Did you say that on the other thread where everyone was claiming it was a trumpist?

Just curious.

[kcr]

33. Gang related?

[Kashkakat v.2.0]

47. Read the articles - if not this one, any number of a gazillion others will do...

[lunasun]

9. He is dead for doing his job . Sick I don't even get the relationship of the man who killed him

RIP Calvin Munerlyn

[malaise]

15. Throw away the keys n/t

[druidity33]

28. The second she spit on him.....

he should have maced her and cuffed her. Off to jail. That's fucking assault in this day and age. Period.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

35. Spitting on someone is battery (physical attack) and assault (fear for life & limb, re Covid). nt

[JDC]

30. Throw away the key

[gibraltar72]

37. I believe a gofund me has been set up for the victims family.

I do not have a link.

[iluvtennis]

38. This is UNACEEPTABLE. Throw their asses under the jail. nt

[pazzyanne]

39. As I see it, an essential worker is dead for doing his job.

He was murdered by 3 people connected to the spitting/ mask incident.

Sincere condolences to the family of the security guard. Rest in peace for the victim, and Hugs an prayers for his family members.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

42. Yes. He was protecting workers and customers. He IS a hero. . . . nt

[warmfeet]

44. The repugs seem to love the death penalty.

What say you repugs? Is it to be life, or is it to be death? Come on now, please don't be so shy.

[sarisataka]

50. I think repugs would have no issue at all with the death penalty

and happily send all three suspects to death row. Do you believe they would not support that?

IME support for the death penalty shows up in many surprising places.

[WyattKansas]

48. Apparently they don't watch the alleged 'fake' news in favor of FUX NEWZ a.k.a. Fox Pravda

If they did, they would know that this is not a good time at all to find themselves being thrown in jail and going to prison.

However, I am sure they will be the first to scream bloody murder for not being protected from COVID-19. Maybe they think Fat Daddy Trump will pardon them.

[sarisataka]

51. Why do you think Trump would pardon them?

[WyattKansas]

52. I don't think that. They would think it after Trump and Fox keep repeating the fight back BS.

[sarisataka]

53. I highly doubt they are Trump supporters

or watch fox news, but I could be wrong

[Kaleva]

56. I also very much doubt they are Trump supporters

[Kaleva]

62. The shooter registered to vote 10/03/2019

[LeftInTX]

66. Good detective work!

[Kaleva]

68. The step-father registered in 2012.

[Kaleva]

54. Do we know if they watched Fox ?

[LeftInTX]

55. Ummm...no

They lived in Section 8 housing...they aren't the same skin color as Trump.

[Kaleva]

49. I suspect the 23 y/o executed the security guard because he, in his view, dissed his mother

The young man went to the store armed and shot the security guard in the back of the head.

[SharonAnn]

70. In the BACK of the head? The shooter is a real chickenshit.

[lunasun]

57. Just read somewhere else about a go fund me . He leaves 8 children and a wife all who must be

devastated by his violent death

https://www.gofundme.com/f/donations-for-duper?utm_source=customer&utm_medium=copy_link-tip&utm_campaign=p_cp+share-sheet&fbclid=IwAR2l4BIkE6psbfu2BWy0SgqV3SSxb1TCaqMeNzhvK5FYXguJVsvIw-eM08A

Help lay Super Duper to rest. He was a father, a husband, a friend, a protector, & a provider.

“When I found out what happened to him, it really broke my heart because I know what kind of person he was,” Police Commissioner Bryant Noelden said at the press conference. He added that Munerlyn would sometimes join dance classes with elderly residents at a senior housing facility in their community.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

60. Such an infuriating and sad story!

The perps were found, at least, but what a disturbing story!

[Kaleva]

69. Anyone notice that it was only the 44 y/o man who was charged for not wearing a mask?

The mother and 23 y/o shooter weren't charged which leads me to believe they were wearing one.
