GRA: Hate crime.

(breitbart) A [black] Tennessee man has been charged with attempted second-degree murder for allegedly setting his [White] girlfriend on fire when she tried to break up with him.

Kenneth Upshaw, 38, has been charged with attempted second-degree murder for allegedly dousing his girlfriend in gasoline and setting her ablaze.

Memphis Police met with the victim, Rebecca Briggs, at the Regional Medical Hospital on October 9, according to fox news. Briggs has second-degree burns on her neck, face, arms, and chest, according to the outlet. It was reportedly difficult for authorities to understand what she said during the interview, due to the facial burns she sustained.

The alleged incident occurred on October 8 as Upshaw and his girlfriend Briggs argued when she informed him that she wanted to end their relationship, according to wreg.

Police say that Briggs was standing near Upshaw’s car in a driveway during the argument, according to wreg. Upshaw told her if he could not be with her then no one could, according to police. Soon thereafter, Upshaw allegedly doused her in gasoline and threw a lit cigarette at her, setting her ablaze, according to wreg.

abc 24 reports that Briggs said she did not know how the fire was put out, but she was able to escape to her vehicle and drive to a friend’s home. The outlet reports, the next day, she went to Regional Medical Center’s burn unit to receive treatment for her injuries.

Authorities investigated the home where the incident allegedly took place and discovered a 2016 Honda Accord with burns on the back of the vehicle, a melted bumper, and a red gas can, according to Fox News.

wreg reports that Briggs and Upshaw did not live at the residence. The homeowner reportedly said that Upshaw was present at the residence earlier in the day but added that he was unaware of what took place in the driveway. Someone allegedly informed the homeowner that a car was on fire in the driveway. The man said he and a friend put the fire out, according to wreg.

“It was pretty bad. I mean, it burned the whole back end and part of the back driver’s side and started to get where the gas tank is, and I thought it was going to explode,” the man told wreg.

The outlet reports that Briggs and Upshaw have a child together, and domestic violence has been prevalent in the relationship. Police say Upshaw punched her in the stomach when she was eight months pregnant, which forced her to deliver their baby a month earlier than the due date, according to wreg.

N.S.: Reminds me of the Jessica Chambers murder.

According to court records obtained by WREG, the couple have a child together and a long history of domestic violence. ... Police said in 2019, Upshaw punched Briggs in the stomach so hard she had to undergo an emergency c-section and delivered their baby a month early.

It reminds you of Jessica Chambers, except in this case the victim has survived.

Thanks for the link, eahilf. At least Upshaw doesn't look defiant or proud in his mug shot. Instead, he looks . . . reflective?

"Upshaw told her if he could not be with her then no one could"

Black manes are great lovers of the whitey women. Especially when they set them on fire, beat them to death or throw acid in their faces. And the negro man feels almost obligated to behave that way. Why his manhood has been challenged.

Kenn Gividen has been doing a series of 'Another Month In The death of White America' on unz.com:

He catalogs black on white killings there.

He has his own blog where you can find more of the same:

>reflective?

As 'reflective' as a ghetto thug can look I suppose.

Here's another similar mugshot -- foto

He's just another black ghetto thug with, uhh, socially inappropriate tattoos on his head and neck (ala Mike Tyson) -- the media does its all to make sure white Americans don't realize that the average young black male (30+% convicted felons) has a demographic profile uncomfortably close to guys like Kenneth Upshaw (and George Floyd et al).

>"Upshaw told her if he could not be with her then no one could"

As I said before, a white woman, even a fat one, is a status win for a ghetto Black -- they can and often do get really nasty when this status is threatened -- I recall reading once that white women in relationships with black men are something like 20x more likely to be victims of criminal/domestic violence as a white woman in a relationship with a white man.

I feel sorry for their child who was born early due to his violence. I wonder if the kid is developmentally disabled because of it.

Scary and more and more interracial couples in ads and in real life.

The colored man when dropped by the whitey woman often goes into such a rage he not only kills the woman but her whole famblee too.

"Developmentally disabled because of it..."

Not from the punch--because the kid's half black.

Why a White woman would want to inflict the world with a deranged black's offspring tells you that HER IQ isn't so hot either.
