Black man hacks up a white couple with a machete. No national headlines. No outrage from the MSM about this being a racist attack. They actually blame it on the coronavirus lockdown. Story is buried down the memory hole.
Man slashes married couple with machete, says he was angry over coronavirus lockdown
A 35-year-old man has been arrested and charged with attempted murder after an unprovoked and random machete attack on a married couple has left them in critical condition and clinging to life.
The incident occurred on Sunday afternoon when Metro Nashville Police in Tennessee were called to the offices of Public Storage at 2:47 p.m. to reports of a man attacking a couple with a machete inside the main office as other customers waited inside.
The suspect, later named as 35-year-old Kelvin Edwards, allegedly entered the office and, without warning, began repeatedly slashing the married victims with his machete, even after they were on the floor and bleeding badly.
The couple, Kevin Craft, 55, and Leanne Craft, 50, were immediately taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center and were listed in critical condition. According to the Metro Nashville Police, six officers responded to the scene of the crime and were able to apply tourniquets to the victims in an effort to control their bleeding and save their lives.
Police investigators said that Edwards had expressed anger regarding the COVID-19 lockdown to them when he was interviewed after the incident.

Metro Nashville Police have charged Kelvin D. Edwards, 35, with two counts of attempted murder for an unprovoked and random machete attack on a husband and wife as they waited inside a branch of Public Storage in Nashville, Tennessee.
“The investigation … shows that Edwards, who is homeless, had a bin at Public Storage, which apparently contained the machete,” the Metro Nashville Police detailed in a press statement. “In an interview … Edwards spoke of his anger over the COVID-19 shutdowns and his inability to get into the Rescue Mission. It appears Edwards retrieved the machete from his bin and explained that he decided to demonstrate his anger in the violent attack on the Crafts, who he did not know.”
After the attack, Edwards then allegedly walked out of the storage facility, threw the machete down and stood in the street raising his hands as the authorities approached him to place him under arrest.
According to the Metro Nashville Police, this is not Edwards first run in with the law.
They confirmed that Edwards has been in Nashville since at least 2016, the year of his first arrests, and was convicted of felony vandalism in 2017. While he was in jail during this period he was also charged with deliberately spitting on two Davidson County Sheriff’s deputies and prosecuted on two counts of assault. He was convicted on both charges.
Edwards is now in police custody and has been charged with two counts of attempted murder in regards to this case.

I used to think and hope that we could find a way to live together. I knew quite a few very decent blacks and hoped they would take charge. Unfortunately, I was wrong. There is no civilized solution. Prepare to defend yourselves.
don’t often see 35/0 upvotes for a post. and they are well-warranted.
Some people do not deserve to be let loose in society, and this man is one of them.
Correct TN : Many in our society belong kept in cages feed by shovels hosed off occasionally and poked with sticks for our amusement
and people are starting to be concerned about the ‘divide’ in the country.
According to our leaders and the media, blacks murdered by whites count, whites murdered by blacks don’t. Nothing to see here, mover along…..sarc/
Well what the hell do you expect?? Most of them are just wild monkeys in clothes. By rights they should be running naked through the Congo with bones through their noses. I live in Delaware and we just had a gruesome murder of two elderly folks while putting flowers on their dead sons grave for Christ sake. Of course it was a young negro male perp. That story was deep sixed in about 12 hours…but that God damn useless Arbery negro story will go on and on and on.
it’s like the “news” media all have the same boss ….
Hmmm. Continuing the dark theme….
Chump change compared to whats coming. Jewstice will be served on Whitey by goverment sanctioned Atifa and angry minorities.
The report said this happened while other customers in the office looked on.
“while other customers in the office looked on”
normalcy bias is strong. they probably didn’t realize what was happening.
I was in a gun shop when someone accidentally discharged a firearm. it took me fifteen seconds to realize what had happened. that’s just how people work – they devote much mental preparation towards what they expect, and thus are able to react quickly to what they expect, and devote little mental preparation towards what they don’t expect, and thus are not able to react quickly to what they don’t expect.
but likely most of the customers will be on the lookout and ready from now on.
Gman.
Please!!! What are you saying? How long does it take to hack two adults nearly to death while others watched due to “Normalcy Bias”? It’s normal to see people hacked to death with a Machette? Do you ever think about what you write before you hit the send button? Normalcy Bias?
“Normalcy Bias?”
yes.
(looking at the downvotes) but not you guys! you’re ready to draw any second! all you need is a trigger event and BOOM!
any day now … maybe today ….
Dunno……… Newbie at the range picked up a 9mm and swept the business end across the room. I hit the dirt.
good move. but while you weren’t exactly expecting that, in context with being on a shooting line the action was on stand-by in the back of your mind.
“while the other customers in the office looked on”
… later thought … perhaps they were black? ….
More likely than Normalcy bias.
Read the Northwest novels by Harold Covington. They are excellent and deal with this subject.
Never turn your back on a jogger….

Thanks, I had lost the link.
“threw the machete down and stood in the street raising his hands as the authorities approached him”
observe how he knows how to game the system and be arrested at minimal cost to himself.
The sad fact is that if you’re white and have any interaction with joggers, you better be armed. You’ll be prosecuted and found guilty by the media for defending yourself, but better do be branded a racist than wind up in the ER like these folks or worse.
Arrested?
Has he been released yet over Corona virus concerns?
What a fucking joke the courts and jail are (and always were).
Nothing improves your odds more in a situation like this than a .40 cal and practice at quick draw. To those who hope to have time to call 911, good luck dumb shits.
“practice at quick draw”
by the time they realized they were under attack, probably would not have been able to draw.
(looking at the downvotes) but not you guys, eh? you’re on hair-trigger alert and always ready to draw at any second!
Gman.
Yes we do. You’ve lived a sheltered life and have an annoying habbit of talking shit about thinngs you don’t know anything about.
When I’m in the presence of one spliv I’m on guard. Two or more and my hand is on my gun which has no safety and always has a round chambered. If you’ve ever been around splivs any lenght of time you’ll see how they operate.
Unless of course you’re a groveling wigger you would know what they are like.
“When I’m in the presence of one spliv”
well the victims weren’t “in the presence” of a “spliv”, the guy walked through a door and surprised them.
“When I’m in the presence of one spliv I’m on guard. Two or more and my hand is on my gun which has no safety and always has a round chambered.”
(speaking of living a sheltered life) hope this statement doesn’t come back to haunt you at a trial. premeditation is an element of some crimes.
“you’re a groveling wigger”
(laugh) ooo, you so bad!
“An edged weapon attacker can cover 7 paces and deliver deadly force in less than 1.5 seconds”
—
“Test with hundreds of officers reveal, in most cases, a minimum of 21 feet reactionary gap is required to react and deliver at least two rounds and have enough time to move out of the attacker’s path”.

My previous reply must have gone to spam.
It took longer than 1.5 seconds to hack away at two people even after they were on the floor bleeding profusely and still nobody helped them.
Did you read the article.
(upvoted) always good to have facts on hand.
Crazed animal of the 13.3% population variety doing what is natural to him . Why is anyone surprised ?
“Why is anyone surprised ?”
everyone tends to think everyone thinks and acts like they do.
(the black “communities” aren’t surprised at all ….)
A person black or white carrying a machete into a waiting area sends my protective self preservation alarm off as they enter the door . I immediately start looking for something to keep between me and mine and the perceived threat !
My wife the dreamer on automatic pilot shoe shopping in a store full of young black teenage girls brushed against one of them giving them a static shock . My wife to this day is unaware how close this jungle animal nearly set the pack on her fortunately for her I was able to turn and block and my size intimidated the 3 Prepared to pounce . The comment from the one who got zapped was priceless and yet due to Ebonics my Mrs. missed it “DIS BITCH BEE SHOCKSING PROPLE”
My wife denies there was or would have been any issue and I’m paranoid .
My training and experience regarding immediate threat assessment in another time and dangerous place is never considered by her . She is one who still believes it cannot happen here !
Pathetically LOL
“SHOCKSING”
(laugh)
“believes it cannot happen”
most people are that way. works great and is a great way to live as long as nothing happens. when something does happen people often go all the way over and become set on maximum distrust for the rest of their life. the trick is to find a balance, and it’s not easy.
Can’t have them AND a civilization. Not compatible.
