Man in a Red Jumpsuit – Shan Edward Carter: A case for repeal of the death penalty in North Carolina


Word count: 538

(LINK to flog follows the comments below.)

In light of the recent “stand your ground self defense” acquittal of self-appointed vigilante George Zimmerman of Sanford, Florida, the capital conviction of Wilmington, North Carolina’s Shan Edward Carter takes on added significance. During the months of January and February 1997, word on the streets of the coastal city was that drug dealer Tyrone Baker was looking for those responsible for stealing from his apartment $40,000 in cash of his ill gotten gains. He openly expressed his intentions of terminating those responsible.

Damont “Eli” White, one of the trio of burglars responsible for pilfering Baker’s stash, was kidnapped off the street in broad daylight by Baker and later pistol-whipped to gain information about the others involved. Shan Carter, a small-time burglar and drug dealer whose crimes were committed while unarmed, and Kwada Temoney, who had a violent criminal past that included an armed bank robbery in which he fired his weapon, were White’s other two accomplices in the Baker heist.

When Tyrone Baker finally caught up with Carter and Temoney on a street corner dealing drugs, he flattened Temoney with a sucker punch, and walked toward Carter with his gun-hand concealed by a heavy coat draped over it. In fear for his life, Carter fired his gun twice with the intention of wounding him… and as Baker turned and retreated, Carter fired three additional rounds to keep Baker motivated and occupied with escape. Not intentionally trying to strike the fleeing man, one of the bullets ricocheted off the steering wheel of a parked car striking an 8 year-old boy in the head (he later died). It was hours later before Carter even was aware that he had struck the boy with his gunfire.

The accidental death of the young boy and the self-defense death of the drug dealer Baker are convictions upon which Shan Carter received death sentences. The North Carolina prosecutors, from outspoken Hanover County Senator Thom Goolsby’s district, are trying to put to death the African American who is innocent of the commission of a capital crime.

The following flog (which was produced more than a year ago) contains the prologue to Shan Carter’s story which will be presented in subsequent chapters on this blog site.

I have been working Carter’s case for nearly three years, however, my advocacy on his behalf was interrupted to help assist Duke Lacrosse victim/accuser Crystal Mangum in the serious trumped up charges against her. As her case winds down toward its conclusion, I will be presenting more about Mr. Carter’s case.


NOTICE: I am considering discontinuing the flogazine format as its files are excessively large… as more articles are added. If there is a large outpouring of those in favor of it, let me know and give it additional thought. Also, since I have been working nonstop on Mangum’s case since 2011, I will take a brief respite for a couple of weeks before heading down the homestretch with her scheduled trial in mid-November 2013. I anticipate my next posting on this blog site to be the mid to late part of August 2013.

Been through this same tired rhetoric on his case many many times. One small time punk shoots another......and, in the process...and innocent child dies. Where do I sign up to push the plunger if they ever get around to lethally injecting this cretin?

If you want to discuss self-defense, then that is precisely what Shan Carter did when he shot drug dealer Tyrone Baker! He did not stalk Baker, rather it was common knowledge in the community that Baker was going to terminate those individuals responsible for stealing $40,000 from his apartment. Baker made the threat repeatedly, and even kidnapped one of the burglars in order to get the identity of the other two (which included Carter).

Yet, when threateningly approached by Baker with his gun hand concealed under a heavy folded coat... and Shan backs up before pulling his gun and shooting him - the prosecutors decide to charge Carter with first degree murder, and he is convicted and sentenced to death. This makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

The case for self defense in Carter's case far exceeds that for Zimmerman, which is dubious at best.

You left out the fact that Carter shot Baker in self defense. Baker was stalking Carter and the entire community, including Carter, knew that. Zimmerman was the one who was stalking Trayvon Martin... not the other way around.

Nope...........wrong. So many differnces in the two cases.....even you, with your limited intellect, ought to be able to figure it out. not self defense....not even close. hope he rots in prison.

Sidney: in light of the recent stand your ground acquittal...

As we know, SYG was not claimed as Zimmerman's defense. SYG eliminates a duty to retreat. Zimmerman claimed Martin was on top of him, punching and slamming his head on the sidewalk. If true, Zimmerman had no ability to retreat. With no ability to retreat, there can be no duty to do so.

I almost stopped reading as a result of a misstatement of this magnitude. I suggest you correct your mistake. Otherwise less supportive readers may be discouraged from viewing the flog.

Your credibility has dropped from zero on a scale of 1 to 100 to minus 200. You can't even craft a credible delusion.

Two drug dealers get into a gun battle. What precipitated the gun battle was that drug dealer a stole money from drug dealer b. In the course of trying to kill or seriously injure b, a kills an innocent child. And you want b to get off with not guilty on the ground of self defense.

Does anyone wonder why Scott Holmes wants you to butt out of Crystal's case.

Sid wrote: " In fear for his life, Carter fired his gun twice with the intention of wounding him…"

At the very least that is Murder in the Second Degree. Second-degree murder, is the crime of murdering in "the heat of passion" or "sudden heat" which results from intense anger, fear, rage, or terror. Second-degree murder is a crime that falls in between first-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter.

In order to prove second-degree murder, the prosecution must produce evidence that the alleged criminal committed the homicide with malice. In the matter of second-degree murder, the presence of malice does not call for the intent to cause death, and the issue of premeditation does not have to be proven.

"... and as Baker turned and retreated, Carter fired three additional rounds to keep Baker motivated and occupied with escape. Not intentionally trying to strike the fleeing man, one of the bullets ricocheted off the steering wheel of a parked car striking an 8 year-old boy in the head (he later died). It was hours later before Carter even was aware that he had struck the boy with his gunfire."

That too, at the very least is Second Degree Murder. Second Degree murder can also be defined as a death that resulted from an assault that is likely to be deadly. This differs from first-degree murder, where the killing was intentional.

Taking Sid at his word, two second degree murders. One of them, again taking Sid at his word, of a totally innocent eight year old.

I see two questions here, first was the killing of Tyrone Baker excused by the then existing doctrine of self-defense? Second, is the death penalty appropriate.

Let me say that there is no defense to Second Degree Murder for the second killing, none what so ever.

Let's then turn to the Baker killing. Under the retreat doctrine as it existed then in NC law, I see no evidence that Carter retreated. Under our law as it existed at the time, this was not self-defense.

Last we turn to the issue of punishment. Is the death penalty appropriate? I have a hard time with trusting prosecutors in NC. They tend to lie, cheat and steal, remember Nifong. Sid has a track record of being less than forthcoming with the facts, much like his buddy Nifong. So, I am reluctant to say that Shan Carter should be put to death for the Baker murder.

But, I think a case can be made for that under Sid's rendition of the facts. What of the murder of Demitrius Greene? Under our doctrine of transferred intent or our felony murder rule, there is ample legal precedent to convict for murder in the second degree.

Further, I submit and will write at some future date about my submission, that there is ample evidence as well as law to support the convictions of Carter for murder in the first degree for especially Demetrius Greene, the completely and totally innocent eight year old boy as well as Baker.

Harrian views of crime:

If a black man does it, it is not a crime. It is only a crime if a white man does it.

If a black person accuses a white person of a crime, the white person must be presumed guilty, even if the accusation is proven to be false.

This quotes statistics, the white population is about 5 times the black population. The number of Black on white crimes is 5 times the number of white on black crimes.

Look at it this way. In a group of 100,000 whites there are 5000 black on white crimes. In a group of 20,000 blacks there would have been 1000 white on black crimes.

Say a group of 1000 whites commits the white on black crimes. That is 1% of the white population. 1% of the black population would be 200. 5000 divided by 200 is 25. 1000 divided by 1000 is 1.

This is admittedly speculative. However can you come up with anything saying that white on black crime happens more often than black on white crime? Race baiters al and jesse say there is an epidemic of white on black crime.

The question is, can they back up their claims with data?

If they could, they would not be trying to turn people like Trayvon Martin, Tawana Brawley and Crystal Mangum into examples of white on black crime.

Lance the Supreme Poster of Enlightenment said...

Sid -- At just a quick glance, there are a number of issues with your "article":

As someone else pointed out, Zimmerman did not use the "Stand Your Ground" law as part of his defense. Therefore he cannot have a "stand your ground" acquittal.

Also, the NC "stand your ground" law applies to offenses committed on or after December 1, 2011.

Even Mr. Baker admits that it only "appeared" to him that Tyrone Baker was carrying a gun at the time of the shooting.

Forensic evidence confirmed that the bullets that struck Tyrone Baker and Demetrius Greene all came from the same gun. This proves that Carter's claim that the bullet that killed young Demetrius Greene came from Baker is a lie.

There WAS one truly innocent victim in this case, and it definitely isn't Shan Carter.

Here is another way to look at interracial ctime based on the data from:

http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/viewSubCategory.asp?id=1628

Say in the previously mentioned white and black groups, it was 1 interracial crime per person. In that case, there would be 5000 criminals in the black group, compared to 1000 in the white group.

I'd still like to see jesse and al back up their claims about white on black crime with hard data. So far they haven't.

What makes the data "hard" for them is that it does not support their claims.

SIDNEY HARR:

With regard to Shan Edward Carter, let me use Judge Judy as a source. If you can cite the fictional Perry Mason, I figure I can cite the very real Judge Judy.

You seem to think that Shan Carter should get a pass because he acted in self defense and did not intend to kill anyone with his bullets. Judge Judy would have asked, if you didn't want to defend yourself against a drug dealer, why did you steal his money? She would have asked, if you did not want to kill anyone, why were you firing your gun?

You proclaim the statistics are false and then say if I can not disprove your allegation it must be true.

It is the same way you approached formed your hypothesis about the Crystal Mangum false rape allegations. Kilgo says that he had a friend on the Lacrosse team who witnessed an assault on Crystal at the Lacrosse party. You say that if no one can disprove Kilgo's allegation, it must be accepted as true.

That is the mind of a blind, hypocritical, intellectually dishonest blatant unrepentant racist.

Seven of the ten victims of the DC Snipers(Black men John Muhammad and Lee Malvo) were white. Should that have justified someone like Rush Limbaugh from claiming this showed Whites are being stalked by Blacjk people? No.

If the shooters had been white and 7 of their 10 victims had been black. it is a sure thing that race baiter al and race baiter jesse would have made an issue of it.

"'That's where I felt confused, where if a person kills someone, then you get charged for it," Maddy(the only minority member of the jury) said. 'But as the law was read to me, if you have no proof that he killed him intentionally, you can't say he's guilty.'"

Even the only juror who believed George Zimmernman conceded there was no evidence George Zimmerman acted intentionally.

I ask you, if the prosecution could not introduce any evidence that George Zimmerman acted intentionally, Where do you two racists call it murder?

Your view is, when a white man is accused of a crime against a black man, he is denied civil rights and presumed guilty.

Great sense of Justice you two racists have.

I bet SIDNEY will now blog that Mrs. Rae Evans bought off the prosecutor to withhold evidence.

Maybe Kilgo has another anonymous friend who overheard George Zimmerman say he intended to kill Trayvon.

SIDNEY might say he did. KENNY might say he did. SIDNEY says Shan Carter should get a pass for murder because he acted in self defense. KENNY says Crystal was raped because Kilgo was told by an unidentifiable anonymous source that she was.

Testimony from Prosecution witnesses and photographs of George Zimmerman's real injuries(as opposed to Crystal's imaginary injuries) show that Trayvon turned the confrontation violent, had George Zimmerman on the ground and was using enough force to possibly kill him. There was no aggravated stalking involved.

The ultimate elucidation is that the incident never would have happened had Shan Carter robbed another drug dealer of that dealer's illegally obtained money.

Your admission that the statistics are correct is your admission that black on white racism does exist. If Black people perpetrate most of the interracial crime and perpetrate it mostly on white people, how does that demonstrate that white on black racism is the more serious problem?

"Would you have a drunk driver (criminal act) who accidentally killed a child with his car sentenced to death?"

No. The driver was not involved in criminal activity. In response to that question, was race baiter al justified in fomenting violent action against white people in response to the accidental killing of a black child?

In any event that scenario is irrelevant. Shan Carter killed the child while he was voluntarily involved in criminal activity. Or are you going to claim he was coerced into stealing the money in the first place, or coerced into dealing drugs?

Finally, if you believe the theory that all humans have the same DNA linking back to the first humonoids in Africa, then all Americans are essentially African Americans.

One question unanswered was whether or not Shan Carter had a permit to carry a firearm. Why do you avoid that question?

If Shan Carter did not have a firearm, he killed Tyrone Baker and the innocent 8 year old boy with an illegal firearm. That hardly qualifies him for self defense.

That would indicate Tyrone Baker did not have a gun. If he had a gun, would he not have drawn it and fired back at Shan Baker?

In any event, you document that Shan Cartrer did fire the bullets at Tyrone Baker and killed him and the 8 year old innocent boy while Baker was retreating.

I am not a lawyer, but I think firing at a fleeing individual who is probably unarmed does not add up to self defense.

Again, you try to gloss over that there was no indication, after the first gunshot, that Tyrone Baker was armed. If he was unarmed and fleeing, Shan Carter can not claim self defense when he fired those three shots at Tyrone Baker.

The death of the innocent 8 year old boy adds up to a death caused by Shan Martin illegally firing a gun at someone.

Walt said...

Sid wrote: "The death of the boy was a tragic accident."

First and foremost, "the boy" had a name, Demitrius Greene. He was eight years old in 1997 and completely and totally innocent.

Second, Greene's death was no accident. It was the result of a deliberate cold blooded killing with malice aforethought. I argued above that at the very least Greene's killing was Murder in the Second Degree. But, I believe the state more than proved sufficient facts and the law supports the conviction of Murder in the First Degree.

The doctrine of transferred intent provides that when a defendant intends to harm one victim (in this case Baker), but ends up harming another (in this case Greene), the defendant’s criminal liability is determined with respect to his intent and conduct towards the first victim (in this case Baker). State v. Davis, 349 N.C. 1, 27 (1998) (quoting State v. Wynn, 278 N.C. 513, 519 (1971). If [Greene] is killed, the defendant is guilty or innocent exactly as if the fatal act had killed [Baker]. Id. (quoting Wynn, 278 N.C. at 519). As it is sometimes said, “intent follows the bullet.” Id. St. v. Wynn, 278 N.C. at 519. Thus, under the doctrine, it does not matter whether Carter intended to injure Greene; the defendant need only act with the required intent toward Baker.

Sid, as is his custom, omits some facts that are crucial. Baker was the initial aggressor. He approched Carter and punched one of Carter's cohorts. (Sid admits this more or less.) Then Carter brandished his weapon and shot Baker at least twice. As Baker was running away (retreating) Carter assumed the offense and pursued Baker. Carter fired three more times. Carter admitted on the witness stand:  “I didn't want to shoot first, I wanted to go ahead ․ and do what I had to do before [Baker] did it to me.   So I went ahead and pulled my gun out and I shot at him.” According to Carter's own sworn testimony: “[Baker] ran and I went behind him shooting at him.” Combine that with the fact that the previously unarmed Carter [as Sid avers above] went out and armed himself and you have the evidence for Murder I. The transferred intent doctrine provides the law to convict Carter of Greene's murder.

Even with my unease about the death penalty in North Carolina and my well found unease with North Carolina prosecutors, Carter himself provides ample evidence to support his conviction and sentence to death.

If Shan Carter intended only to fire at Tyrone Baker to drive him off and then get in his car to escape, why did he not do so.

If he ran after Tyrone Baker(who was unarmed) and continued firing at him(with a firearm of which he was in illegal possession) was that exactly getting into his car and fleeing? No.

Zimmerman followed Martin to see where he was going. Your use of the word "stalking" is deliberately pejorative. Although the dispatcher told Zimmerman he didn't need to do that, such activity is legal.

Let's review. Shan Carter was publicly making drug deals, illegally packing a firearm when the incident happened, in spite of knowledge that Tyrone Baker was determined to recover his money.

That does not say that Shan Carter was trying to avoid a confrontation with Tyrone Carter. It suggests that Shan Carter's mindset was, if Tyrone tries to get his money back I am going to blow him away.

The facts the prosecution presented showed that Trayvon Martin did attack George Zimmerman. The photographs showed that George Zimmerman was injured in the conflict. The lacerations on his head are consistent with his head being bashed against the sidewalk. I say again, if SIDNEY does not believe that bashing a man's head against concrete is not potentially lethal, he has no business calling himself a physician.

Fine example of race baiter al taking the fight for justice to the purveyors of injustice, don't you think?

"It is not a crime to defend oneself against someone who has threatened to kill him... regardless of what activity he is involved in. The death of the boy was a tragic accident."

If you really believed that, you would not have been advocating against George Zimmerman. It is obvious, from evidence the prosecution witnesses presented, that George Zimmermab shot Trayvon Martin while Trayvon Martin was on top of him pounding his head on the pavement.

"Would you have a drunk driver (criminal act) who accidentally killed a child with his car sentenced to death?"

No. The driver was not involved in criminal activity. In response to that question, was race baiter al justified in fomenting violent action against white people in response to the accidental killing of a black child?

In any event that scenario is irrelevant. Shan Carter killed the child while he was voluntarily involved in criminal activity. Or are you going to claim he was coerced into stealing the money in the first place, or coerced into dealing drugs?

I think using the term African American is racist. For one thing, all African's are not persons of color, so right away they are negated from existance by equating African with person of color.

Next, not all persons of color are from Africa as place of origin before arriving in USA.

Finally, if you believe the theory that all humans have the same DNA linking back to the first humonoids in Africa, then all Americans are essentially African Americans.


Interesting, but what term would you use instead of "African American" to refer to someone we currently refer to as "African American"? Then, would that term be considered racist?

However, under your logic, if the driver did not intend to kill the child he should not be charged with criminal responsibility for doing so.

"Tyrone Baker... walked toward Carter with his gun-hand concealed by a heavy coat draped over it."

So Shan Carter did not know whether or not Tyrone Baker actually did have a gun in his hand.

In fear for his life, Carter fired his gun twice with the intention of wounding him… and as Baker turned and retreated".

That would indicate Tyrone Baker did not have a gun. If he had a gun, would he not have drawn it and fired back at Shan Baker?

In any event, you document that Shan Cartrer did fire the bullets at Tyrone Baker and killed him and the 8 year old innocent boy while Baker was retreating.

I am not a lawyer, but I think firing at a fleeing individual who is probably unarmed does not add up to self defense.


What is important in this case is that Shan believed that Tyrone Baker had a weapon concealed under his coat.

An important fact also is that a friend of Baker's, Renee Barnes, saw the incident, ran to Baker's side as he lied in the street, scooped up his coat and whatever it concealed, and left the scene before the police arrived just minutes later. This was tampering with evidence... something for which she was never charged.

system should give him a pass for it.

Your flog shows unequivocally Tyrone Baker was retreating and making no threat to Shan Carter when Shan Carter fired the bullets which killed Tyrone Baker and the innocent child.

You are really one perverted individual.


You misrepresent my statements. Shan's first two initial shots were fired when Tyrone Baker was advancing towards him. The final three shots which were fired to scare Baker off and keep him retreating were fired in his general direction and without the intention of hitting him... which they did not.

Unfortunately one of the bullets fired in Baker's direction, to keep him motivated to flee, did stike the young boy. A freakish and tragic accident.

In the Shan Carter case, you did document that Shan Carter was firing at Tyrone Baker while Tyrone Baker was retreating. You do argue because Shan Carter did not know he had shot a child and did not intend to kill the child, he was not criminally liable.

In the hypothetical drunk driver case, if one were to apply your Shan Carter logic, if he did not know he had killed the child and had not intended to kill the child, then he should not be charged with a crime for killing the child.

Why did you try to distort the Shan Martin case into self defense?

I say again the facts YOU presented show clearly Shan Carter fired the shots which killed Tyrone Baker and Demetrius Green while Tyrone Baker was retreating from the confrontation. That does not add up to self defense.

You never mentioned that Tyrone Baker was unarmed. You never mentioned that Shan Carter was in illegal possession of a firearm.

Let's review. Shan Carter was publicly making drug deals, illegally packing a firearm when the incident happened, in spite of knowledge that Tyrone Baker was determined to recover his money.

That does not say that Shan Carter was trying to avoid a confrontation with Tyrone Carter. It suggests that Shan Carter's mindset was, if Tyrone tries to get his money back I am going to blow him away.

Self Defense?

Hardly.


Let me make it clear that word on the street was that Baker intended to kill those responsible for stealing his money, not have them re-pay it.

Furthermore, it has not been proven that Baker was unarmed. Shan believed he was... and so would a reasonable person under the circumstances.

Because the Justice Department enforcing the Voting Rights Act wants African Americans to be elected to congress. The method is to make majority-minority districts. Otherwise, the thinking goes, if African Americans were evenly distributed throughout every congressional district they would never elect an African American to congress as African Americans constitute approximately 21.3% of the population of North Carolina.

Isn't that an entirely racist view on voting - that blacks will vote for blacks - and whites will vote for whites.

Do these majority minority districts receive any additional tax revenue to insure their education systems are on par with other districts?

If not, you will have less educated minorities voting - so is the theory than that the less educated minorities will vote for their own minority political figure?

Knowing NC as those in control probably strive for it to be - those districts will be kept 'down' and segregated in ways NC is infamous for.

For some reason, you were not able to respond to Break's comment. I have copied it below.


Sidney: That's true... and Trayvon Martin would be alive if George Zimmerman would not have profiled and stalked him.

That's true...

Zimmerman claimed he profiled Martin due to his behavior and dress in response to recent break-ins. Even if Zimmerman has profiled due to race (behavior to which Jesse Jackson has admitted), such activity is legal.

Zimmerman followed Martin to see where he was going. Your use of the word "stalking" is deliberately pejorative. Although the dispatcher told Zimmerman he didn't need to do that, such activity is legal.

...and Travon Martin would be alive if Travon Martin had not sucker punched Zimmerman, gotten on top of Zimmerman, continued to punch Zimmerman and slammed Zimmerman's head into the concrete sidewalk.

regarding the punishment-meter:

George Zimmerman was in a place in which he had a legal right to be. He was not performing any illegal activity. Specifically, there is no evidence he was stalking Trayvon Martin, no evidence he intended to kill Trayvon Martin. The killing happened after Trayvon Martin attacked him, using deadly force. Slamming a man's head against the concrete is deadly force.

Shan Carter was on the street dealing drugs and illegally in possession of a firearm. When he was confronted by tyrone Baker, he drew his firearm and fired at him. Tyrone Baker fled. Shan Carter pursued him, continued to fire at him and killed him. In the process, he killed an 8 year old boy who was not threatening him at all.

According to SIDNEY, George Zimmerman should have been convicted of murder. Shan Carter should have gotten off because he acted in self defense.

And SIDNEY tells the world he is a fighter for justice.

The incidents are numerous, with several cases ending with African Canadian men being killed by police who are rarely held accountable."

Put it this way - nifong and duke officials knew exactly what they were doing and why they were doing it.

Did you notice that comments were added to the on-line newspapers at the exact time that the lacrosse case began? This allowed for the mass race-baiting that ensued. Those comments may or may not have been bonified sincere comments - they could have been hyped and typed to promote the cause.

Then duke acts like people owe them for their pain and suffering in the terms of massive goverment spending and in the way they treat EVERYONE basically - grown men acting like babies (i've personally seen that from persons who persume to hold duke power over others) - it is sickening to say the least.

Maybe this will be a very harsh statement for a man to stomach who falls into that category - but a little growing up - and hey - not too hard to climb out of the crib they place themselves in with their corrupt unethical ways they feel justified is their right in their self-serving victimhood - when most adults (and many children) understand fully the game they are playing, why they are playing it, and why they will ultimately lose because they are playing it.

It is very sickening to see so much corruption in this state - and also watch so many people be victimized at one time while the perpetrators grin on and totally ignore the rights and voices of the many and the true victims of the game, which is basically everyone but them (as usual).

That is why NC sucks. The corrupt politics NEVER stop.

Consider this.

If a white man called black athletes farm animals, would black Professor Houston Baker call it white on black racism. Yes he would.

Did Houston Baker refer to white athletes as farm animals. Yes he did.

Do you think this is an example of black on white racism? Probably no.

Why? Because in some academic ivory tower university, some sociology professor said that Black on white racism does not exist.

I did some google searches, population of Canada, population of the United States, White on Black racism in Canada, White on Black racism in the USA.

The results: The population of the US is approximately 9 times greater than the population of Canada. The search on Canadian white on black racism returned about 35 million hits in a bit more than 0.3 seconds. The search on US black on white racism returned almost 60 million hits in 0.4 seconds.

The ratio of 60 million to 35 million is less than 2 to 1. What this shows, I do not pretend to know. However, what it DOES NOT show is that white on black racism is not a problem in Canada. Proportionally it MAY be a problem as big as if not bigger than the same problem in the US.

This does not show that the media was biased in favor of the Duke Lacrosse defendants.

That's because the American System, an 18th Century creation, is distinctly un-democratic. For example, their archaic Electoral College; their bi-cameral legislature where an elected Senate, an inherently un-democratic construct, has equal power to a House of Representatives; rampant gerrymandering to distort the democratic concept of one person one vote; filibuster rules to thwart the democratic concept of 50% plus one rules; unfair election rules designed to manipulate the results and restrict the vote; campaign financing that allows money to taint the process; a politicized Supreme Court; a two Party political system that makes additional political ideas and choices difficult, if not impossible etc. etc. ; I could go on and on.

Yes you could. It would mean only that you resent the USA, probably because it is better than Canada.

On the subject of racial profiling, one thing was a big part of the Duke rape hoax, the statement, mainly from black spokesmen, that rich powerful white men have always desired to exploit black women.

Statistics on interracial rape say t is not so.

It was an a=example of Blacks unfairly and falsely profiling white men.

Would KENHYDERAL white on black raciakl profiling was racist? Yes. Would KENHYDERAL say this black on white profiling was racist? Probably not.

KENHYDERAL has read that Sociologists in academic ivory towers have declared that black on white racism does not exist.

In each and every respect, although you do not want to admit it.

Just like you do not want to admit that Black on white racism exists, just like you do not want to admit that Canada, to a large extent, is a racist country.

No I wouldn't.

And I have found a lot of publications on the web by Canadian Authors who do say Canada is a racist country.

I would say you are a perfect example why Canadian Authors would say Canada is a racist country.

Your punishment meter rating of P.J. Hairston follows your usual script, the same script from your treatment of Reginald Daye, the same script from your attempt to exonerate convicted felon, double murderer Shan Carter.

Lie, distort, misrepresent, and claim if a black person does it, it is not a crime.

And you call yourself a purveyor of truth and justice.

SIDNEY HARR:

Hypothetical situation:

PJ Hairston, while tearing along I85 at 95mph, strikes and kills someone who is on the shoulder, say because that person's vehicle is disabled. PJ does not stop because he does not realize he struck someone.

Based on your distorted account of what Shan Carter did, you would say PJ was not guilty of a crime because he did not realize he had struck the person and had not intended to strike and kill that person in the first place.

Suppose it had been a white person driving at 93mph striking and killing a black person. Would you argue that white person, if he did not know he had struck another person and had not intended to do so, would not be guilty of a crime? I think not.

From http://superfastlinkbuilding.com/martin-shooting-truth-distorted-by-social-media/

"To begin with, the photographs that represent Martin and Zimmerman in the public eye are deceptive at best. Even though photos exist of Zimmerman smiling and wearing a suit and tie, the only photo gracing TV screens is that of a thug-like, frowning Zimmerman wearing an orange jumpsuit.

The photos used to identify the 17-year-old Martin are far from recent, showing a clean-cut, beaming 13-year-old boy. Media outlets have access to recent photos of Martin that he used to represent himself on Twitter, but refuse to show them to the public. In the photos, Martin is wearing a wife-beater-style shirt, sporting gold teeth and a decent-sized tattoo on his arm, and making an obscene gesture to the camera."

An example of how the media falsely profiled George Zimmerman.

From the same url:

"Listening to Zimmerman’s full, unedited 911 call, it sounds as if he was not entirely sure that Martin was black. When asked by the operator whether Martin was white, black or Hispanic, Zimmerman hesitated for a second before saying, “He looks black.” Only later in the call, after Martin begins to apprach Zimmerman, does he confirm that Martin is black."

How the media falsely profiled George Zimmerman as a racist killer.

"It was reported on CNN that Zimmerman was heard describing Martin as a “f***ing coon.” But later enhancement of the audio showed that Zimmerman was actually commenting on the unseasonably cold Florida weather, saying “f***ing cold.” CNN has since retracted their allegation of a racial slur."

"[George Zimmerman] comes from a deeply Catholic background and was taught in his early years to do right by those less fortunate. He was raised in a RACIALLY INTEGRATED HOUSEHOLD(emphasis added) and himself has BLACK(emphasis added) roots through an AFRO-PERUVIAN(emphasis added) great-grandfather - the father of the maternal grandmother who helped raise him.

A criminal justice student who aspired to become a judge, Zimmerman also concerned himself with the safety of his neighbors after a series of break-ins committed by young AFRICAN-AMERICAN MEN(emphasis added)."

And:

"'Let's talk about the elephant in the room. I'm black, OK?" the woman said, declining to be identified because she anticipated backlash due to her race. She leaned in to look a reporter directly in the eyes. "There were black boys robbing houses in this neighborhood," she said. "That's why George was suspicious of Trayvon Martin.'"
