    My Latest. Yesterday an armed white man, Gregory Bush, walked into a Kentucky grocery store & murdered 2 different Black grandparents. Then told a white man not to worry because he wouldn't kill white people.

        Meet Maurice Stallard. He was shot & killed in front of his 12 year old grandson by a white supremacist in Kentucky yesterday. He is the father of Louisville's Chief Racial Equity Officer, Kellie Watson, a brilliant Black woman who works in the Mayor's Office. A great man.pic.twitter.com/3XFQeNwIbD

        Meet Vickie Lee Jones. She was shot & killed by a white supremacist YESTERDAY in the parking lot of a grocery store in Louisville. She was a kind, warm, giving soul. She just retired from the VA Hospital. Moved to her new neighborhood to be safe. Murdered by a bigot.pic.twitter.com/ZAS7cpQvzY

        I live in Louisville and WE are calling it a hate crime. It's the rest of this backwards state that's calling it a "mental health issue". Its NEVER a mental health issue. This man is so full of hate that his own parents have a restraining order against him

        He was ordered TWICE not to have any guns because of his past in domestic violence His parents have a restraining order his ex wife has one an ex girlfriend has one He should have locked up a long time ago and yet he legally obtained this gun despite court orders against it? How?

        How has ANY of this been allowed. How do you legally obtain a gun even with court orders against it? This is the problem with our gun control. There are so many loop holes to the required background checks. Gun shows dont do them, flea market shops dont do them...

        He shot the guy in the back of the head and then killed an elderly woman. Concealed carry would have helped nothing. Also will probably increase the chances of a cop shooting a black person if they have a concealed carry on them.

        You got to do what you got to do. Unfortunately, it should not have been that racist psycho's right to have a gun. Dude was diagnosed bi-polar and had lost his guns before. But this is America and NRA is King...

        Trust me, we are very angry. I live there and have frequently shopped in that Kroger. It is a HATE CRIME and we know this. Call it what it really is.
