Stuff Black People Don’t Like’s Paul Kersey has been following the case of Nkosi Thandiwe’s racist, July 15, 2011 murder of white Brittney Watts and attempted murder of (white enough) Lauren Garcia, and white Tiffany Ferenczy. It seems that confessed killer Nkosi Thandiwe, whose purported friends have insisted to me that he was a gentle Renaissance Man—but aren’t all black men?—who was incapable of hatred, was in reality a bouncing-off-walls, violent racist, before he became a murderer.
Note that, unlike an ordinary black man his age, who already enjoys tremendous privileges—affirmative action in everything from school grades and discipline to admission to universities, to getting felonies reduced to misdemeanors or non-crimes—Thandiwe comes from a well-to-do family, with an African engineer father, and a prominent lawyer mother. Black privilege squared.

ATLANTA —
Channel 2 Action News has learned new information about a possible motive in a deadly midtown shooting from last summer.
Police said a woman was killed and two others injured when a security guard went on a shooting rampage in a parking lot. Channel 2's Dave Huddleston obtained the 43-page lawsuit from the case that was filed in state court April 5. The documents show that race may have played a role in the shootings.
The sound of gunfire echoed off midtown buildings July 15. When it was over, marketing executive Brittany Watts had been shot in the neck and killed. Police said the shooter, security guard Nkosi Thadiwe, took off in Watts' car and fired a gun, randomly shooting two more – Lauren Garcia, who was paralyzed, and Tiffany Ferenczy.
Nine months after the shooting, lawsuits have been filed against the defendant, the security company he worked for, Allied Barton, and the owners of the building where the shooting took place.
They said Thandiwe demonstrated an intensely negative attitude toward another race, which was unnamed [?!]. About a month prior to the shooting, Thandiwe had an altercation with a visitor with the parking garage.
Documents state he assailed a visiting courier with racial epithets and had to be physically restrained by company personnel from striking and causing harm to visitors.
Company officials, lawyers and shooting victims declined to comment on the matter.
But attorney Musa Ghanayem, who is unaffiliated with the case, gave his legal perspective.
"I saw where there were a couple of instances prior where they have red flags come up; that Mr. Thandiwe has some issues as a security guard," Ghanayem said.
Thadiwe is still in Fulton County jail. His defense team has asked the court for a mental evaluation. According to documents found before the shooting, there was another act of violence, Huddleston reported.
Nkosi Thandiwe sees his attorney, John Garland, as he enters into court for his arraignment. Nkosi Thandiwe is accused in a shooting spree in Midtown last year. Bob Andres, bandres@ajc.com[No comments; not even a link to nowhere.]

Let's see. A pretty young white woman is murdered. Isn't this the kind of story the MSM loves? Or is it only a Big Story if the suspect looks like Scott Peterson or Joran Van Der Sloot?
