In 28% Black Indianapolis, the Gannett-Owned Newspaper (Indy Star) Refuses to Acknowledge Blacks Responsible for City's Historic Homicide Problem... Black Newspaper (Indianapolis Recorder) Does

Previously on SBPDL: In 28% Black Indianapolis, a City Where Blacks are Responsible for Almost All Homicides and Nonfatal Shootings, City Council to Declare Gun Violence a "Public Health Crisis"

The Indianapolis Star can't bother to point out what's happening in the 28 percent black city when it comes to the rising homicide rate (each year continues to see the prior years record for homicides broken). [These six graphics help explain Indianapolis' homicide problem, Indy Star, 12-23-18]:

For the fourth year in a row, Indianapolis has broken a new criminal homicide record. 

The death of two men — who were shot and killed inside a vehicle on the east side late Wednesday — pushed the total dead in 2018 to 156. They joined five other men and one woman who have been killed so far in December.

Indianapolis Star will tell us who the victims are, but why not the suspects? Because as the Indianapolis Recorder, the black newspaper notes, they are almost all black people (a hate fact we must not be told about)

This year's count eclipsed the 155 cases investigated by the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department last year and continued an annual climb in criminal homicides that began in 2011. It can create hopelessness at times. 

"Most people don’t think that you can do anything about it," said Rev. Charles Harrison, who for years has tried to curb crime here as a co-founder of the Indianapolis Ten Point Coalition. "You cannot get the guns off the street. You’re not able to deal with the issues of poverty and broken families and the hopelessness these kids are feeling." 

For Harrison, who has been involved in anti-crime efforts for about two decades, it's clear who pays the highest cost in Indianapolis: black males, particularly those who are younger than 25.

Young black males are 4 times more likely than everyone else to be victims of criminal homicides in Indianapolis. And they're overwhelmingly dying of gunshot wounds. 

IndyStar reached those findings through an analysis of five years of homicide and census data. Data from those five years, illustrated and explained by a series of graphics, is contained within this story. 

The 2018 number includes all criminal homicide investigations opened by Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department detectives in 2018, including a few cases in which someone died last year but the deaths were determined to be homicides this year. 

The count does not include killings made in self-defense, police action shootings or accidental homicides. Homicides in other parts of Marion County, such as in Lawrence or Cumberland, are not included. 

WHO IS BEING KILLED

In Indianapolis, just as in many other cities struggling with violence, the reality is grim for one particular demographic.

Young black males, who are under the age of 25, were victims in 34 cases this year. Young white males, by comparison, accounted for two victims. 

It matches a years-long trend. Since 2014, just 17 young white males were victims, compared to 175 who were young black males, making up about one-fourth of all victims.

Whereas the Indianapolis Star can't be bothered to publish the information on who is shooting/killing black males in the city, the black newspaper in Indy has no problem publishing the truth. [It’s 2019, and Rachel is still weeping …, Indianapolis Recorder, 1-10-19]:

In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not. Matthew 2:18 

This passage of scripture has gripped me since 1994. Just four short years into my ministry, I came across this stark depiction of a mother weeping for her children who are being mercilessly and systematically slaughtered.  

The biblical account was written hundreds of years ago. It is Matthew’s account of the “Slaughter of the Innocents” in Bethlehem and is seen as a fulfillment of the prophecy given in Jeremiah 31:15. Rama is the geographical location. Rachel is the mother who would not be comforted from her trauma and sorrows. And the children she is weeping for are her own.  

It’s 2019, the geographical location is Indianapolis. Rachel is still weeping. The children are our own. Indianapolis has experienced another record-breaking year with a total of 161 homicides being reported. For the fourth year in a row, young Black males under age 25 are the victims in more than 34 cases. Three of every four homicide victims were Black.  

Since 2014, young Black males have been four times more likely than anyone else to be victims of homicides. Black male homicides outpaced all other races in every age category. The highest percentage of those killed are in the 18- to 24-year-old age range. 

We are experiencing a Black male epidemic. We are in the midst of a Black male crisis. With every Black male murdered, another mother and father are forced to bury their young son. In many cases the victim is also a parent. Thus, another Black child will grow up without his or her father. When the case goes unsolved another murderer remains loose on our streets. Since the perpetrators are often Black males, prison or death awaits them. Rachel is still weeping.   

Over 28 years ago, the murder of a young Black male by another Black male, who faced 60 years in prison because of the crime, compelled me to leave a comfortable and lucrative corporate position and devote my life to serving others and working to save our young Black males.  

I can’t count the number of mothers, fathers, family members and friends that I’ve consoled, preached funerals for, and written letters and cards to, on both sides of these tragedies. I can’t count them. I’ve grown tired of these senseless tragedies.  

I’m tired of young lives being lost. Tired of funerals. Tired of mothers, fathers and family members crying over loved ones they will never see again. Tired of the court cases, plea bargains and seeing our young Black males sentenced to decades in prison. 

 The Black community must stand up cohesively, and Black men must be in the forefront of the movement to save our Black sons. Our community must bond together like never before. We must find ways to build on the work we are already doing.  

We owe it to Aaron, Rodney, Earl, Terrell, and the countless other young Black males who were snatched away from us long before they ever reached their fullest potential. 

Yes, Rachel still weeps. She wept in the time of the prophet Jeremiah. She wept in the time of Jesus. And she still weeps in 2019 for her children who are being systematically destroyed. Rachel has been weeping for centuries, and she will continue to weep until the senseless slaughtering ceases.

The sentence on who is behind the violence in Indianapolis was not published in the Gannett-owned Indianapolis Star, but in the black newspaper, The Indianapolis Recorder: "Since the perpetrators are often Black males, prison or death awaits them. "

Honesty about black crime and black dysfunctionanti-social behavior is the only way to save Indianapolis (and countless other American cities from the same fate of Detroit, Gary, and Newark).

Funny the truth is buried in the Gannett-owned paper and declared without a hint of blaming whitey in the black paper. 

His Name is Harry Parnell: 64 year-old White Man, Months Away from Retirement, Stabbed to Death by a Black Male (With Vast Criminal History) He Supervised

Less than six months to retirement. 

Sixty-four year-old Harry Parnell, a white man, is busying going about his duties as a supervisor at Spitzer Industries on Wednesday (January 9) evening. 

Rest in peace, Harry. We'll never the true motive behind your murder by a black male (if it's racial, the police will work overtime to keep this news from ever seeing the light of day)

One of the employees he was in charge of - Evan Parker, a black male with an extensive criminal history - showed up to work, specifically asked to see Parnell and then proceeded to stab him to death. 

It was a premeditated murder of a white man by a black male. [Suspect who stabbed supervisor to death felt picked on in Waller County, ABC13.com, 1-10-19]:

BROOKSHIRE, Texas (KTRK) --  The man accused of stabbing his supervisor to death may have felt picked on at work, Waller County Sheriff Glenn Smith revealed. 

After a manhunt, Evan Parker, 34, was arrested at his apartment in the 18000 block of South Parkview in west Harris County Thursday afternoon. 

"Law enforcement officers made entry. The suspect, Parker, was sitting on his couch. He had a BB gun pistol in his hand," said Waller County Chief Deputy Craig Davis. "It's my understanding he pointed it at them. They backed out and began a short negotiation which lasted 20 to 30 minutes, then he surrendered with no injuries to himself or law enforcement officers." 

During a police interview, Parker allegedly confessed, indicating he felt picked on at work. Sheriff Smith would not elaborate and investigators have said no employees indicated there was a problem at Spitzer Industries where it happened.

If white privilege were real, this story would be on every news channel in America, 24/7

Parker is accused of killing Harry Parnell, 64, and injuring another employee who was flown to a hospital with serious injuries. 

Deputies were called to Spitzer Industries on FM 362 near Brookshire just after 8 p.m. Wednesday. 

Investigators said Parker arrived at work Wednesday night and asked specifically for his supervisor, Parnell, then stabbed him. 

Parnell was set to retire this year and had been with the company for 20 years. He died at the scene. 

"He enjoyed his job and he treated people the way he wanted to be treated," said Parnell's son, Tim Parnell, who is a Katy police officer. "He didn't deserve this." 

The other victim is 36-year-old Jose Rangel. Investigators said it appears Rangel just happened to be in the way when he was stabbed. 

A Spitzer company official told ABC13 that Parker had been working for six months with the company as a contractor. 

Authorities say Parker has an extensive criminal history including aggravated robbery, assault, resisting arrest and aggravated assault against a public servant. 

Parker is charged with murder and aggravated assault, and remains in jail. 

The factory was closed Thursday. Grief counselors will be on site Friday.

We'll never know the real reason Parker sought out Parnell and then stabbed him to death. If it's racial, the authorities will never allow this information to be made publicly available. Much like the black male who killed a white reporter on air in 2015, we'll never know the true depth of how race played a role in the murder.

Rest in peace, Harry. You deserved better.

In 2018 Trenton, New Jersey - a 14% White City - All Homicides Had a Non-White Suspect/Non-White Victim

Previously on SBPDL: Washington crossed the Delaware for this? The Black Death Comes to Trenton

Trenton, New Jersey. 

A 48 percent black city. 

A 36 percent Hispanic city. 

A 14 percent white city.

And in 2018, all homicides involved a non-white suspect and a non-white victim. [2018: Trenton's homicides by the numbers, Trentonian.com, 1-1-19]:

The capital city concluded 2018 with 21 homicides, which includes the death of 52-year-old Michael Anderson, who was shot on a Wayne Avenue porch during the early morning hours of June 7, 2017. 

Trenton... where the American Dream became the American Nightmare

Mercer County prosecutors confirmed Anderson’s January 15th death will be counted as a 2018 statistic, even though he suffered the gunshot injuries seven months prior to dying. 

Last year’s homicide toll also includes three vehicular deaths, as well as the death of an abandoned newborn and the death of Tahaij Wells, who was shot and killed by police during a shootout at an all-night arts festival this past summer. 

According to the state police uniform crime reporting unit, vehicular homicides are considered manslaughter and are not reported as a homicide statistic. Justifiable homicides are not counted in state police murder statistics either. 

Therefore, state police will likely report Trenton’s official 2018 homicide number as 15 or 16, possibly excluding a fatal beating at the psychiatric hospital, and certainly excluding the newborn whose cause of death was ruled the result of “neonatal abandonment following unattended birth” with a contributing cause of death listed as “maternal use of heroin, fentanyl, and cocaine.” 

The Trentonian, however, includes vehicular homicides, manslaughter cases and justifiable police-involved killings in its yearly homicide count. 

Using census data and the 15 killings state police will report to the FBI, Trenton’s 2018 murder rate is 17.65 homicides per 100,000 residents. 

In terms of fatalities, January was the deadliest month of 2018, perhaps foreshadowing the violence that lied ahead. Five homicide victims died that month, which concluded with the double murder of Ivan Rodriguez and Jerard Perdomo Santana. Three people were killed in each of the months of May, June and November. 

Nineteen of the 21 homicide victims were male. 

The South was the only Ward that experienced less than five killings: two people died in that ward last year. 

Seven victims were in their 20s at the time of their death, and five victims were in their 30s when they died. Four teenagers were murdered in 2018 as well. 

The oldest victim was 56-year-old Anthony Anderson, a convicted child molester whose body was found stabbed to death underneath a large tree trunk in a garbage-filled stretch behind an abandoned row home in the first block of Taylor Street.Fifteen victims were black, six were Hispanic. 

Shootings killed 15 people in the capital city, more than any other homicide method.  

One victim was beaten to death by a fellow Ann Klein Forensic Center patient. 

Nine suspects were arrested in connection with six different homicide incidents that occurred in 2018; one of those cases has four suspects charged with various offenses. Only two of the homicide suspects arrested last year are female.

American exceptionalism, indeed.

The future of the USA is found in Trenton, where a declining white population has a front-row seat to the American Dream transitioning into the American Nightmare.

Her Name is Marla Belin: White Woman Murdered by Black Man in 60% Black New Orleans because She Refused His Sexual Advances

Previously on SBPDL: Confirmed: In 60% Black New Orleans, Almost 99% of Homicides and Nonfatal Shootings Committed by Blacks

Just another black on white murder you never heard about. 

RIP Marla Belin

Hard to imagine too many people in New Orleans heard about the murder of Marla Belin. 

The New Orleans Times Picayune reports Belin refused his sexual advances... [Report: New Orleans talent agency owner dies after purse snatching, beating, The Advocate, 12-30-18]:

A 55-year-old woman was taken off life support Friday following injuries she received in a violent robbery several days earlier, according to the New Orleans Police Department. 

The death raised New Orleans' homicide count for the year to 145.  

Police said the woman was the victim of a 7th Ward robbery about noon Dec. 17, when a man tried to grab her purse and a struggle ensued. 

According to police, the victim chased the robber across the street in the 1700 block of North Dorgenois Street, at which point the robber body-slammed her to the ground, hit her head on the concrete several times and struck her in the face before fleeing with the purse. 

Citing friends, nola.com identified the victim as Marla Belin. Belin is the owner of the talent agency NOLA Talent Entertainment, according to her LinkedIn page. 

Police arrested a suspect in the case, Tyrone Fountain, 40, two days later. 

Fountain was booked on counts of simple robbery and second-degree battery. His bail was set by a magistrate judge at $20,000, and he bailed out, according to the nola.com report, citing Belin’s friends. 

A spokesman for the NOPD said homicide detectives are investigating to determine if additional charges are merited. 

Fountain is scheduled for a court appearance Jan. 17, court records show. 

The nola.com report said Belin's talent agency focused on discovering and supporting local musicians.  

It quoted an agency employee as saying that Fountain and Belin both lived in the 7th Ward and knew each other before the attack.

If white privilege were real, we'd never stop hearing about this murder.

Have you even heard about his black on white homicide?

No?

Then white privilege doesn't exist.

And white lives don't matter.
