Black Acquitted of Stabbing White Because Victim Used N-Word Afterward

To see what progressives are progressing toward, look to the moonbat dystopia Portland, where already it is now effectively legal for a black to stab a white so long as the victim is said to be a racist:

Gary Edwards, 43, was charged with second-degree assault for stabbing a man in Portland near a light rail stop on July 8, KPTV reported. …

Security cameras, with no audio, captured Edwards, with a fixed-blade knife in hand, approaching [Gregory Howard Jr.] as he sat on a [bench].

Edwards already had a history with knives and assault:

He was convicted of attempted second-degree assault in 2021 and was sentenced to three years in prison for another stabbing in 2020, records show.

Edwards was accused of fourth-degree assault for fighting with a shop clerk, but the case was dismissed because he could not secure a public defender.

This time Edwards had a lawyer, who made the improbable claim that his client approached Howard in order to offer the knife he was brandishing in exchange for cigarettes. Yelped the shyster:

“What other than racism could explain why Mr. Howard perceived hatred, animosity and aggression from a complete stranger?”

Anyone guilty of racism deserves the worst. So long as they are white.

After he was stabbed, bodycam footage from security officers caught Howard calling Edwards a naughty name.

It is unclear if there is any evidence to suggest that Howard used the slur before he was stabbed.

It appears extremely unlikely that he did — as if that should matter. Yet Edwards’s defense was that he stabbed Howard for already having used the forbidden n-word.

The jury found him not guilty.

Despite the left-wing immigration and welfare policies that have transmogrified US demographics, the Caucasians who as recently as 1970 comprised almost 90% of the population are still a majority. But already open season has been proclaimed.
