Librarian randomly beaten in Downtown Cincinnati. Man sentenced can’t explain why

He could be Obama’s son. I just can’t figure out the motive. It’s a mystery. I wonder if the MSM would be baffled if it was three white guys beat the living shit out of a black guy? This surely isn’t a hate crime. Right?

Watts is the second man convicted in the May 15, 2017 attack near Downtown’s Main Library. Luebbers sentenced Watts to seven years in prison. He pleaded guilty last month to felonious assault.

In September, Johntae Dearmond pleaded guilty to aggravated robbery and was sentenced to nine years. Dearmond, now 21, blamed the attack on “intoxication.”

On Thursday, Watts’ attorney, Doug Nicholas, said alcohol and peer pressure led to what happened. Court documents describe a third, unidentified attacker.

More: Arrest made in Downtown Cincinnati beating death

The victim, a librarian in his 40s, was walking near the library shortly after midnight when Watts, Dearmond and the third person approached him. A fourth person served as a lookout, court documents say.

They asked the librarian for a cigarette. Then the attack began. It was Watts who tackled him to the sidewalk, Assistant Prosecutor Allison Oswall said Thursday.

The man was struck about 50 times. He was kicked in the face. The attack lasted about a minute. He suffered internal brain bleeding. Blood came out of his ear. Dearmond can be seen taking the man’s cellphone.

As surveillance video of the attack was being shown to Luebbers Thursday on a laptop, she stopped it: “That’s enough. I really can’t watch any more.”

Cincinnati police Detective Dan Kreider said it was one of the two worst beating cases he’s handled in his career.

Luebbers expressed dismay at Watts’ inability to explain why he attacked a man “for absolutely no reason.”

She noted he took the time to pick up a container of lip balm he’d dropped to the sidewalk, but didn’t assist the victim.

Luebbers thought for a moment, trying to come up with words besides “evil” to describe the attack.

“Senseless,” she said. “Savage. And horrific.”

According to his attorney, Watts had no previous criminal record in adult court or juvenile court. He was working two jobs at the time of the incident and split time between his mother’s and father’s houses.

??? If this man had called the police, even at the beginning of this attack, do you really think that would have helped?
You don’t have time to call the police in situations like this. Instead, you suffer from internal brain bleeding. How in the world was someone like this, or any other attack, able to call the police and wait for the 5 minutes it will take for them to get there. It takes less than a second to lose your life or save it. Also, I hope your name is “Moran” and you weren’t trying to call someone a moron.

Almost happened to me in Quebec City this past summer. The Festival D’Ete de Quebec. It all started as a bright idea of my best friend from high school. A trip to re-live my misspent youth and watch some Geezers play rock n’ roll. The outdoor concert that happens every summer there. The plan was supposed to be awesome. 120,000 people watching crotchety Septuagenarians waddle across the Plains of Abraham. Singing songs in English to the multitudes of people present. The vast majority with only rudimentary understanding of the lyrics to the songs being performed. It wasn’t lost on me the irony of the spectacle. Here I would be at the place where the English defeated the French in North America..

It had been a long time since I spent a weekend in that place. Almost 30 years in fact. Man alive a lot has changed. Last time there Quebec City was pur laine. Today not so much.

Fast forward and I am back again. Same broken French. Trying my best to muddle my way thru that place. It was Thursday night, The Who was playing. Seeing as it was last minute, my Buddy and I got a less expensive place in Ste. Foy. Only problem with it was you had to take cab that cost 60 bucks or take the bus with the Deltas and Epsilons downtown. The plan would have worked but only for my friend who decided to get drunk and pass out. Me being a cheap cunt and with nobody to spilt the fare decided to make the leap into the Brave New World. So I say fuck it I am going see Roger Daltrey, Pete Townsend and the Who.

Off I went. How hard could it be. Boy I was wrong.

Getting on the bus was the first shock. The closer I got to the city centre the darker the crowd got. Like Admin I couldn’t figure out the problem. So here I am doing my best to look at the floor and not make any eye contact with the locals. As a result I missed my stop.

Didn’t see it at first.
Didn’t help that all the announcements were in French.
So on I went getting more and more lost.

At any rate I soon realized my predicament and realized I had to get off bus and double back. So here I am entre de hood where aucune parle Anglais. It wasn’t Compton but it wasn’t Mayberry either…

I am like, “how bad can it be” just stand at bus stop and catch the next bus. Only problem was that when I reached in my pocket I had no change. Fuck!

Pas de problem there is a corner store across the street. Juste go there with my argent et prendre some gomme. I walk in the store. It wasn’t busy just me, the guy at the cash, and two black guys towing a fat Yvette thru the aisles. I figured got this under control.

Just get the gum keep the French down to mute grunts and the occasional “merci”.
Get my change and get the fuck out of there. It was no dice on my fucken plan.

Why’s that?

Well me being a dumbfuck I had to pick the most expensive gum in store, Trident if I recall, after walking by a display selling, Extra two fer one. So I get to the counter. Drop the twenty. Dumb fucken move because if I had of looked behind me I was now joined by the two apes from the Congo and their fat sex toy from Quebec. This is when I was busted!

The clerk at the counter kindly told me of the special deal on gum directly behind me. Of course I didn’t have a fucken clue what he was talking about. After fumbling a bit with french I just told him straight up that I speak English. Now I am really fucked. I got cash on me and everyone there knows that I am lost

So I get what I came for and walk out the door. Yvette and her two Apes right on my tail. I figured well this is it. I picture the headlines back home….

Local Man Get Assaulted in Quebec, Police Investigating

I make it to bus stop. GREAT! Then look around and see no other customers standing there. BAD! Looking over my shoulder and one of the guys is coming over to talk to me. SHIT! Now this fine fellow already knows that I don’t speak french. Yet he then proceeds to ask me for a cigarette in French. By now it IS obvious to everyone what is GOING TO HAPPEN. He tries again and now I am getting pissed. He was just sizing me up. I don’t no why he didn’t give it a go. Christ he was half my age!

I looked him straight in the eye and said.. In my best English…

I don’t smoke and I don’t speak french..

You Yanks might not appreciate this but saying that in the hood in Ville de Quebec is same as throwing down the gauntlet on Fight Night at Madison Square Garden.

Still for whatever reason the guy decided the “cigarette” wasn’t worth the hassle. I think it was the fear in my eyes disguised as crazy. Though I have had loads of experience at both. At any rate, he slunks off, defeated on his mission. Proceeds to pile into the car with his Yvette. Gives me a shit eye and then drives off..

All I have to say to all this is FUCK YOU TRUDEAU! My Generation wants to tell you to take your diversity gives us strength bullshit and shove it up yer ass…….

I ended up missing the concert…though I did see Metallica the next night.

It was awesome!

My brother-in-law and I got knockout gamed back in probably 1981 or 82 in Georgetown. Walking down Wisconsin Avenue, as some brothers walked by us, one of them gave me a forearm shiver to the mouth. He hit me so hard I saw stars, and went down to my knees. I sort of just covered for the minute it took to sort of get my faculties back. I looked over and my brother-in-law, who was a wrestler, had been busy taking the other one apart up against a car, and the one that had assaulted me had gone over to try to rescue his friend. Once it was two-on-two, we certainly got the better of them in a big hurry, and then ran up the street to get away from them. It have been a boring night out, and we were laughing at having had some fun after all. Then we heard them running up behind us again. We couldn’t believe it. The punks wanted more. No, not really. They wanted to high five us for giving them a good fight. They had mouthpieces in, they were just stupid and bored, with nothing better to do then go out and find some white people to try to beat up. There is no motive for these things.

I have avoided 6 muggings in chronological order:

1. 1964 Edison NJ, FLIGHT: Walking home from Edison Lanes through a short cut in the woods I found myself surrounded by six Job Corps thugs. They demanded my cigarettes and money (I was 14). Job Corps gang muggings and beatings were common then. I Started walking towards one guy while pretending to pull my pack out to hand him then exploded with a shoulder hit slamming him back and ran through the hole like the road runner. POOF! I’m gone laughing over my shoulder.

2. 1973 New Brunswick, NJ…. FIGHT: 2 am, a little drunk leaving a house party, when I made the two muggers closing I darted under a street lamp, pulled out my belt buckle push dagger, got into a fighting stance and was grinning at them. The two muggers stopped dead, looked at one another confused and then backed off.

3. 1998 Boston, MA…FLIGHT: Had my wife with me. When I picked them up closing as we turned an upcoming corner I had her run (hand in hand) hard with me for a block, cross over, power walk another block and then jog a third block to a bar we found. Called a cab back to the hotel.

4. 2006 Chicago, ILL, FLIGHT: came out of a restaurant and made a couple of wrong turns, heading back to the hotel. I picked up a huge black guy following, I mean NFL huge…when I crossed he crossed. Had a serious fighting knife got it ready. Turned a corner and bolted to the next corner (I still was a flash sprinter). Left Big foot lumbering in my dust.

5. 2006 Louisville, KY, FLIGHT: Wandered out of tourist downtown into the hood (easy to do in Louisville). Once again I picked up the potential mugger (wearing a hoodie of course) crossing when I crossed and closing the gap. Once again I got my fighting knife ready, turned a corner and did a decent one block dash for a 56 year old…turned another corner then hit a jog back into civilization.

6. 2007 Philadelphia, PA, FIGHT: I drove to this engagement, so besides just a knife I’m packing. No TSA BS leaving me without the great equalizer. Realized I forgot to pack a dress belt so from the hotel I headed down to a Walmart about 10 pm. There had been a snow storm and the lot was pilled high and messy. Coming back to my car I picked them both up moving towards me from in between cars. Lean, wolfish faces in hoodies, both half my age or more. I’m in a long expensive dress wool coat with a Russian style hat and in my right hand jammed into my pocket is a .45 Colt Commander Lightweight.

When I turned to face them…not retreating and obviously either I was glad to see them or I had a gun in my pocket…they stopped the advance like they had hit an invisible wall.

For some reason I always grin when I’m threatened. I gave them a huge one. Their bodies went slack and they looked at one another, shrugged, slowly backed up until they disappeared.

The Gift of Fear, situational awareness, head on a swivel, belt push dagger, knife, gun, tactical retreat has worked to date.

Hell, a few weeks ago I had a rough looking panhandler come up behind me as I was pumping gas and aggressively ask me for change as I turned to face him I instinctively started to pull my gun from my waist (there have been two shootings at this station the last year) and then he was the Road Runner!

starfcker,

Yea, part of it was being raised in a neighborhood from 2nd to 6th grade with a vicious ambush bully 2.5 years older and almost twice my size who was always hiding and lurking. If he got hands on me it was a beating. I mean I learned to always be aware. I took him the first time in 6th grade (got his arm behind his back and snapped his pinky) and the final time in 11th grade in a full fledged fist fight. Happy ending years later, I was the Best Man at his first wedding.

But to be candid a big part of all those failed muggings is some PTSD. The residue of some traumas can be used to your advantage. Hyper vigilance has served me well.

While obviously he didn’t ‘deserve’ what happened to him, no one does, he was pretty stupid for putting himself in that situation. But, I’m gonna guess here, he has probably spent his entire life denying the race realities we all know to be true. Before this, he probably would have insisted that he was perfectly safe at night in a black area, they are no more violent than any other group, etc. There’s a whole bunch of stories like this, bleeding heart liberal virtue signalling by doing things that no sane white person would just to prove blacks aren’t violent, and end up getting hurt or killed by a group of ‘midguided teens’.

I’m armed pretty much everywhere I go, but I still make every effort not to place myself in a situation where I might need it. I have no desire to shoot anyone, and I damn sure don’t want to become famous as the next George ZImmerman.

Yes we are all just white right wing racist basturds with a full understanding of what the average black male is . Predatory by nature and generally willing to use a heinous level of force on what they perceive as an easy target .
The white people that continually make excuses for them have never understood eye contact and the challenge issue with the sub human species . One good beat down for their pocket cash and a cell phone and a $1000.00 dollar trip to and emergency room if they are lucky cures many of this false narritive constantly broadcast from MSM and government .
Remember they do not act react or think like a civilized group in general . About 10% of blacks in America have the intellectual ability and IQ to succeed in a civil modern society and do as well as any other ethnic group . The other 90% of blacks in America do not do so well ! Thus the shitholes they have created around the country .
Sadly arming yourself and providing the service of eradicating many of these warts on the ass of society would be prosecuted with a vengeance regardless of the known facts . Most of the people of good consience working in the criminal justice system know the truth about these animals but the political correctness derails any common sense to be applied to the reality .
Remember liberal government and MSM will go to extremes with excuses for the sub human behavior by the three animals in the video . There are people in our society unfit to walk among us as shown in the video . These three need to be kept in cages hosed down occasionally feed by shovel and poked with sticks for our amusement !

In light of Boat Guys true comment:

“Sadly arming yourself and providing the service of eradicating many of these warts on the ass of society would be prosecuted with a vengeance regardless of the known facts.”

I carry laminated cards in my wallet with my Concealed Carry permit that read:

Defensive Shooting Guidelines for the Responsibly Armed Citzen
“If I have given this to you. it has been necessary to take action to save innocent life. I am willing to sign a criminal complaint against the perpetrator(s). I will point out witnesses and evidence. As you may have experienced yourself this has been stressful and traumatic experience for me. Therefor I wish to make no further statements until I have contacted an attorney and composed myself. I also do not consent to any searches. I will cooperate fully once I have contacted an attorney and calmed down.
As a lawfully armed citizen I ask that you show me the same courtesy you would show a fellow officer who was involved in a similar situation. Thank you for your understanding.

If you have had to pull and shoot, no matter what happened, hand theses cards out to the cops and KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT. Get a lawyer and say nothing. No matter how you feel act upset…but say nothing to no one, even if the cops are acting sympathetic about what happened, SAY NOTHING TO THEM UNTIL ALONE WITH YOUR LAWYER.
That is the way it is.

Understand the 21 foot rule and train on what to do to defend yourself as a citizen from a charging knife attack, put yourself in the cops places in this you tube.

Other self-defense tactics:
1. No gun…have your own quick draw fighting knife ready

(this is good even if you have a gun).

2. Get a wallet holster I have two. Also called the Mugger Surprise. Pull and fire in one motion but it looks like you are just handing over your wallet.

3. Sometimes I keep a hand gun in my coat or jacket pocket I can just fire through the pocket in a couple of seconds. In a bad place I’m walking with my hand on it.

Know your gun and the safety rules and have a significant amount of muscle memory from practice, practice, practice.

My wife is not a gun person, but I insist she shoots her .38 sub-nose and 20 gauge now and then to keep the muscle memory (she actually is good). We have a signal code. If she is ever grabbed and I’m there that will trigger her to fold in half, fake faint and or drop to the ground so I can shoot the son of a bitch who has a hold of her or is close.

22winmag - The South was Right (and slavery would have ended through legislation not war in the years to come, so don't give me that shit) What happened to places like Rhodesia and safe spaces for white folks? What comes next?

Another example of why ignoring racial reality is not a good idea. Many people do this, and I do not always mean New Left Liberal Progs, and limo libs neither. You have many sincere libs, suburbanites, elites, libertarians, corporatists, neocons, upper middle class, countryboys etc, living in cupcake land, who are woefully ignorant of racial reality as well.

In the old days, urban street justice (that was tacitly approved upon by the officer on the beat) kept a lot of this unprovoked afro violence contained. The afro knew not to go into certain Non Black city neighborhoods to start trouble. The results were usually getting a beat down with his next conscious thought was waking up in the hospital. The political opportunism of prosecutors, coupled with the fake news narratives of the MSM describing afro aggressors as the victim, changed this for the worst.

My advice (from someone who has been there) is:

Limit your exposure to afro ghettos, and generally do not engage, by maintaining your vigilance where you can spot potential trouble before it happens (however, those who live in cupcake land have a greatly reduced ability at accomplishing this task); Once trouble is spotted then practice avoidance (which may or may not include running from the scene);

Keep yourself in strong physical condition, and practice some skills to make yourself a hard target.
Be aware that afros like easy targets, and usually only strike when they have some unfair advantage in numbers/weapons/size/age over their opponent;

Be armed; But understand if you use your weapons to protect yourself/others from unprovoked afro attack, the msm will advance the false narrative that you are a racist, and the District Attorneys will look to prosecute you (not them);

If the incident takes place in the inner city, then the Grand Jury (which is deciding your fate) will be composed of mostly other white hating afros, who believe that you are a beneficiary of white privilege, and that your eventual conviction would be payback time (for all those misbegotten gains you somehow stole from the black man).

Understand that even when you feel no ill will towards the afro, they feel much ill will towards you (they mostly hate whitey without cause). It is not necessary to hate them back, however like any predatory animal, you must recognize their potential to be dangerous.

Recognize that the ghetto afro is very capable in the casual use of extreme violence. When confronted from an inescapable unprovoked attack, your best course of action is to do your best to hurt them badly, and then promptly leave the scene (barring that you didn’t leave ballistic evidence behind). And never depend on their sympathy.

Finally, do not take advice from the pathologically naive people, living in cupcake land, who are completely ignorant of what ghetto afros are really like. They will try to convince you with their feel good make believe mythology, and will insist that you should not believe in the empirical experience of others who know better. Unfortunately following their advice, of denial of the real world, has the potential of placing you in great peril (When you finally realize that their fanciful opinions does not apply to harsh reality).

This problem will get much worse because there is no political will to correct it (while Leftist continue to provoke afro racial animosities) . Eventually when all of America ends up equivalent to a failed state, leading to an afro initiated race war, the resultant die off will force it to stop… but this cure would be worse than the problem itself.
