The story below opens, “An argument that began over a child's balloon could send two men to prison for a very long time. They're accused of opening fire on a house hunter as she was getting ready to show a property last year in Clarksville.”
But that’s not the story of the accompanying (linked) video. A black woman (left unsaid and unnamed) arranged to see a house that was for sale, on the pretext that she was a potential buyer, but more likely just to terrorize the white realtor lady, Tammy Earp. Note that the realtor had already taken the precaution of having her non-realtor boyfriend along to bodyguard her.
And unless the vernacular is much different in Clarksville, “a house hunter” is a customer, not a realtor.
There was no “child’s balloon.” The black woman stole the balloon that was tied to the house to show it was for sale, and gave it to her daughter. Tammy Earp’s boyfriend demanded either the child or her mother return the purloined balloon. The mother then told the whites that she was calling someone to come and kill them.
As the white couple sought to flee, a car pulled up with five black men inside. The driver, James Bagwell, cut off the couple, and one of Bagwell’s accomplices, Detarius Curry, fired multiple shots at the terrified couple, but missed them, hitting their car instead.
In other words, just as in the racially-motivated murder of James Paroline in Seattle in 2008 and thousands of other violent crimes every year, the black woman was the criminal “mastermind” here, but just as in the Paroline war crime and virtually all others, the mastermind was never charged. Being born a black woman in America—or being a fraudulent “refugee” like the Jane Doe calling herself “Nafissatou Diallo”—is the next best thing to being royalty.
James Bagwell opted for a jury trial, because he thinks it was an injustice to charge him with attempted murder. Never mind that he was guilty of just that. You see, in his mind of black privilege, his act of driving racist, aspiring murderer Detarius Curry to kill the white devils has no legal ramifications.
Note too that the WSMV reporters utterly downplayed the attempted murders, as if Curry had only sought to frighten and not murder the couple.
How many times a day do blacks perpetrate hate crimes like this in America, whether involving beatings with hands and feet, blunt objects, sharp objects, blunt objects and firearms? One hundred? One thousand? Ten thousand? One-hundred thousand? More than that? And how much longer will it be before blacks who commit this sort of crime against whites aren't even prosecuted?

CLARKSVILLE, TN (WSMV) -
An argument that began over a child's balloon could send two men to prison for a very long time. They're accused of opening fire on a house hunter as she was getting ready to show a property last year in Clarksville.
Following a previous guilty plea by the accused shooter to a charge of aggravated assault, the man believed to be his accomplice decided to try his fate with a jury trial.
On Wednesday, the jury found 22-year-old James Bagwell guilty of two counts of second-degree attempted murder as well as three other reckless endangerment charges.
Things turned violent after a 2-year-old got her hands on the balloon [false!] tied to a home that agent Tammy Earp planned to show to an interested couple in September 2012.
When Earp's boyfriend told the child to put it back, an argument ensued [false: Premeditated attempted murder is not “an argument”] with some of the residents along Barkwood Drive.
A Ford Thunderbird with five men inside soon arrived and tried to block Earp's path. As the men exited the Thunderbird, officers said one of them started shooting.
Handgun rounds struck the door and hood of the woman's car as well as a nearby house.
Earlier this year, Detarius Curry, 20, pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of aggravated assault in the shooting and faces a sentence of eight to 12 years in prison.
Sentencing for Bagwell has not yet been set.
