Sad, fascinating story on CNN.com that caught my eye yesterday if only because of this .

http://i2.cdn.cnn.com/cnnnext/***/assets/170817095428-stanley-vernon-majors-mugshot-exlarge-169.jpg

This mugshot is often featured on Smoking Gun and has been used in a few memes.
There's a story behind this mugshot: He's crazy piece of ****.

Long story short: this racist harassed and terrorized a Lebanese family for years. He went so far to run over the mother in his car. She was seriously injured. He tried to kill her.
He was released on bond and murdered one of her sons while he was standing on the porch.

The racist next door - CNN



I don't want to turn this into a death penalty debate (this POS is insane, but clearly deserves whatever he gets ).... It was an eye-catching story based on this mugshot, which again, I have see all over the Internet.
 
So this is what Steve Bannon cleans up like?

(Seriously, though, sickening story and circumstances for that family).
 
I think the eradication of racism is a pipe dream until the population mixes so much that you can't tell people from each other. In short, it won't ever happen bc the easiest excuse for people's failings is that The Other is responsible. Racism is the province of weaklings and the insane.
 
The family was too nice. After dealing with all that harassment, threats, peeking into their windows, and finally running over the mother with the car, how the heck didn't they just beat the holy hell out of the guy with multiple baseball bats?
 
Defense attorney intended to present insanity defense, but that doesn't not mean he is insane.
So awful.

Why didn't they film his behavior? Why not buy a gun? Hell, I would have strung up a ****load of barbed wire between the two houses.

Damn shame. Not blaming them, but holy hell. Too much faith in the American justice system unfortunately.

What's the story with the husband anyway? I thought that was a typo at first, but, no. Too bad that guy didn't shoot him.
