Terry Rawls and Lemika (aka Lemica) Whisenhunt: The Figures at the Center of the Mobile, AL, “Justice for Trayvon” Lynching of Matthew Owens; Mayor,

Police, Media, Join Battle Against Victim

Suspect—or should I say, “victim”?—Terry Rawls

 
By Nicholas Stix

Earlier today, police finally arrested Terry Rawls for allegedly leading the racist, 20-on-one attack last Saturday that left his white neighbor, Matthew Owens, in critical condition in the local ICU. As the attackers left, one female attacker was overheard by the victim’s sister and at least one other witness to say, “This is justice for Trayvon,” as she drove away.

Rawls has a long rap sheet, including arrests for assault, burglary, theft and cocaine possession.

Although the suspect lives on the same street as the victim, Mobile police dragged their feet for almost five days, during which time they participated with Mayor Sam Jones and the media in a defamation campaign against the victim, in order to disappear the horrific crime against him. The mayor, police chief, and city council president are all black. I believe that said campaign was foiled by national outrage that was expressed by whites through the Internet and talk radio, in spite of racist blacks’ support of the anti-Owens hoax campaign.

According to WKRG, Rawls lives with Lemika Whisenhunt, the black woman who has continuously beaten the drum for a race hoax, in which she depicted Matthew Owens was the attacker, and had called the local kids “niggers,” had stabbed one of the boys, and “don’t even live here.”

To normal (non-leftwing) whites, Whisenhunt sounds crazy, with her outrageous, transparent falsehoods (e.g., saying “he don’t even live here,” about her white neighbor), but she is, unfortunately, all-too-normal for blacks nowadays.

Considering that the number one suspect lives with Whisenhunt, that it took Mobile police five days to finally arrest said suspect on the same street as the victim, and that Whisenhunt has been leading a one-woman disinformation campaign, if the police and prosecutors are serious about pursuing justice in this case, they will take a long, hard look at Lemika Whisenhunt.

It appears to me that Matthew Owens is yet another victim of what I have dubbed Left Behind Syndrome, the brutality that racist blacks who have taken over previously white neighborhoods routinely visit upon those whites who did not flee. (Off course, it was just such black racist brutality that caused the white majority to leave, in the first place.)

MOBILE, Alabama --
Wednesday 2:25 p.m.

Terry Rawls did not say a word to News 5 and other media outlets as police took him from police headquarters to a patrol car.

Rawls has an extensive criminal history in Mobile and Baldwin counties including assault, burglary, theft and cocaine possession.

Rawls lives on Delmar Drive at the same house where we talked to an angry mother who claims the kids are the real victims.

Wednesday 1:45 p.m.
44-year-old Terry Rawls is charged with assault 1st degree in the beating of Matthew Owens.

Wednesday 12:50 p.m.
BREAKING NEWS: Mobile police make first arrest in the Matthew Owens beating case. Witnesses say Owens was beaten by a mob of 20 people.

Wednesday 11:40 a.m.
The Mobile County District Attorney's Office tells News 5 a warrant has been signed for one person involved in the beating of Matthew Owens.

Owens and the suspect have had an ongoing feud since 2009, according to the DA's Office. They're expected to surrender today.

We're checking to see how many people the DA plans to charge.

The controversial case is the talk of Mobile. Callers lit up the phone lines this morning at FM Talk 106.5. Sean Sullivan and Wayne Gardner say they've never had that many calls about a single topic before.

Wednesday 12:45 a.m.
Mobile police did not make an arrest before the end of the day as they expected. But police are in the process of serving warrants.


Neighbors say Matthew Owens chased off a group of black kids with kitchen knives after the boys lost a basketball in his sister's yard. He was attacked by as many as 20 people with chairs, pipes and paint cans a short time later.

Based on the accusations forom [sic] angry neighbors, News 5 did some digging and learned Owens has a violent track record. The Mobile County Metro Jail log shows police have arrested Owens numerous times over the past 12 [sic: 22] years for things like domestic violence, assault and sex abuse. His first arrest was November 4, 1990 for assault. The last time officers transported Owens to jail was last March on a domestic violence charge.

Regardless of what happened Saturday night leading up to the beating, police and most people would agree that it is not an excuse to put Owens in the ICU.

Tuesday 8:35 p.m.
Mobile police tell News 5 they still hope to make an arrest in the Matthew Owens case before the end of the night.

Owens was beaten Saturday night in front of his home on Delmar Drive. Witnesses, including Owens [sic] sister, say 20 black people attacked Owens with pipes, paint cans and chairs. Owens is still in ICU at USA Medical Center. Weaving in and out of consciousness, Owens told his brother Lloyd, "Don't let me die."

Police continue to downplay the Trayvon Martin connection to the beating. But a neighbor confirms what his sister told News 5. The neighbor, too scared to go on camera, told News 5's Lauren Vargas that they heard one of the suspects say "This is justice for Trayvon" as she drove away.

Tonight, an angry mother [Lemika Whisenhunt] who lives on the street told News 5's Blake Brown that the kids who live on Delmar Drive are the real victims.

"Every single day it's a problem with Mr. Owens concerning our kids," Lemika Whisenhunt. "All these kids do is shoot basketball. We keep 'em in the yard. They don't bother anybody. We'd rather them play basketball than to be around here vandalizing, breaking into people's homes. We try to bring our kids up the right way and show people that all black kids are not bad." [Whisenhunt's next sentence, which WKRG conveniently cut was, "I Don’t Think No Black Kids are Bad."]

Tuesday 7:30 p.m.
Tensions are running high on Delmar Drive.

Before Lauren Vargas' live shot on News 5 at 5:00, a black woman [Lemika Whisenhunt!] who lives on the street started yelling at Lauren saying the kids are the real victims.

Tuesday 6:00 p.m.
From his hospital bed and weaving in and out of consciousness, Matthew Owens told his brother Lloyd, "Don't let me die."

Tuesday 3:10 p.m.
Mayor Sam Jones is urging the public not to jump to conclusions and to wait until the investigation is finished.

“Police will certainly [not] explore a racial motive if the evidence supports it,” said Jones. “This type of mob violence will not be tolerated. If people think we are going to tolerate that to bring attention to some national event, they are sorely mistaken. They will be arrested and prosecuted for assault or whatever the appropriate charge may be," he said.

Tuesday 3:05 p.m.
News 5's Lauren Vargas spoke with a neighbor who also heard a member of the mob that beat Matthew Owens say "Now thats justice for Trayvon."

That backs up what Owens' sister, who witnessed the attack from her house across the street, told News 5. Ashey Parker calls it "the scariest thing I have ever witnessed."

Owens' brother, who does not want to be named because he fears for his safety, told News 5 the mob showed up in 3-4 cars full of people.

Tuesday 2:55 p.m.
The Matthew Owens beating case is the focus of The Schnitt Show, a nationally syndicated radio show.

News 5's Blake Brown was interviewed by Laura Ingraham on her nationally syndicated radio show.

Tuesday 12:35 p.m.
Mobile police expect to make arrests in the Matthew Owens beating case today.

Owens is in critical condition at USA Medical Center, three days after police say he was beaten by "multiple people" armed with chairs, pipes and paint cans Saturday night in front of his house on Delmar Drive.

Police are downplaying the Trayvon Martin comment, but the family insists one of the attackers said "Now thats justice for Trayvon" after the attack. Trayvon Martin is the unarmed teenager police say was shot and killed February 26 by neighborhood watch captain George Zimmerman in Samford [sic], Florida.

Monday 6:55 p.m.
Mobile police need your help to catch a mob that beat Matthew Owens so badly that he's in critical condition.

According to police, Owens fussed at some kids playing basketball in the middle of Delmar Drive about 8:30 Saturday night. They say the kids left and a group of adults returned, armed with everything but the kitchen sink.

Police tell News 5 the suspects used chairs, pipes and paint cans to beat Owens.

Owens' sister, Ashley Parker, saw the attack. "It was the scariest thing I have ever witnessed." Parker says 20 people, all African American, attacked her brother on the front porch of his home, using "brass buckles, paint cans and anything they could get their hands on."

Police will only say "multiple people" are involved.

What Parker says happened next could make the fallout from the brutal beating even worse. As the attackers walked away, leaving Owen bleeding on the ground, Parker says one of them said "Now thats justice for Trayvon." Trayvon Martin is the unarmed teenager police say was shot and killed February 26 by neighborhood watch captain George Zimmerman in Samford [sic], Florida.

Police canvassed the area, but did not find any suspects. They're asking anyone with information to call them at 251-208-7211, Crime Stoppers at 251-208-7000, or text a tip to 274637 and include the keyword CRIME 411.

There is black violence as a culture in almost every metro neighborhood and it spills over on every race, including there own. Black on black and these are confirmed in DOJ statistics. The white community is tired of being called a racist for having an opinion that is not shared by a more violent street culture. Having a opinion and concern in the Mathew Owens story has African Americans calling concerned non blacks, closet racist. If we are to ignore or condone bad behavior and lies, so be it. But half of Obama's 2008 voters will remember the silence and the lack of civil rights violations, as this reverse bias unfolds.
