South Carolina Man Shot by Ohio Craigslist Killers
Anyone who reads crime blogs knows sites like Craigslist are dangerous places frequented by all sorts of criminals looking for a quick score. Meeting anyone from these sites is risky and always has been. A local South Carolina resident found out the hard way that some of these people are interested in taking more than you’re money – they want you’re life:
One of the assailants was 16, the other a grown man and since the American press is being coy about the names to protect the identity of the kid it seems like the two are related. Let that sink in for a while. The Daily Mail identified the older man as 52-year-old Richard Beasley who has yet to be charged but is in jail on a prostitution charge. His mother claimed he hung around with drug addicts and “street people” so maybe the kid was also turning tricks with him?
Rumors are that there will be a lot more bodies uncovered in this area. The victim was lucky to escape with his life. Do not meet people from the Internet in real life, period.
Paul Allen Buki Shot by Father
Details are sparse but 42-year-old Paul Allen Buki of Greenville was shot to death by his father after an altercation in the home. The elder Buki tried to lock himself in a room, presumably to avoid Paul Allen but the son kicked the door in.
Authorities have not yet decided if charges will be filed which would indicate that this might have been defensive. A quick search didn’t turn up any criminal record on Buki but there are court records available for a Paul Allen Buki being divorced around 2002. If he was the kind of guy who kicked in doors I’m not surprised.
Occupy San Diego Protesters Turn Violent When Hot Dog Vendors Refuse Them Free Food
But hey, they’re just like the Tea Party! Remember when the Tea Party started shaking down hot dog carts for free food with threats of violence? Remember when we threw blood and urine on people’s property in fits of pique over not being given free stuff? No? Oh, that’s right. The Tea Party isn’t made up of drugged out, spoiled rich kids who think their the vanguard of the new Soviet America:
From CBS Los Angeles:
SAN DIEGO (CBS) — A pair of Southland street cart vendors who were forced to shut down their businesses after “Occupy” protesters vandalized their carts are hoping to get some help from local residents.
[...]
The coffee and hot dog carts were located in Civic Center Plaza, the same location as the Occupy San Diego protesters.
That group first settled in to the plaza Oct. 7 and set up a tent city which has since twice been taken down by police.
Coffee cart owner Linda Jenson and hot dog cart operators Letty and Pete Soto said they initially provided free food and drink to demonstrators, but when they stopped, the protesters became violent.
And according to one city councilman, bodily fluids were used in the attacks.
“Both carts have had items stolen, have had their covers vandalized with markings and graffiti, as well as one of the carts had urine and blood splattered on it,” said Councilman Carl DeMaio.
The damages will likely require at least a complete cleaning if not a replacement of the cart covers, DeMaio said.
In addition to the attacks, the vendors also said they recently received death threats.
So unless people provide them with free stuff they will murder people? Sounds like they truly are the 99% … of felons. Here’s video of Letty Soto (among others) begging the authorities to save her from these thugs. She needed police protection to appear in public:
Notice that the Occupiers are all White kids and the people they’re terrorizing are mainly minorities. Again the true colors of the radical left are Klan white.
Schools Locked Down After Ambush on Police
It sounds like someone lured police into a area specifically to shoot them. From Fox Carolina:
GREENVILLE, SC (FOX Carolina) – Greenville police swarmed a neighborhood Friday morning after they said someone fired shots at an officer.
The shooting happened about 10 a.m. near Mauldin Road and Cavalier Drive.
Greenville Police Chief Terri Wilfong said an officer tried to pull over a vehicle, but the driver of the vehicle jumped out and fled into a nearby apartment complex.
Wilfong said that when officers went into the apartment complex to look for the driver. They said during that search someone jumped out and started firing shots at the officer. She said the officers conducting the search returned fire.
The person fled the scene, and that was when the massive manhunt began, Wilfong said. She said no one was hurt during the shooting.
Wilfong urged anyone who notices anything suspicious in the area to call 911 immediately. She said a reverse-911 call was placed to the area affected by the manhunt to notify residents of the search.
Greenville County deputies said they are assisting in the search.
The man was described as black, between 30 and 35 years old, wearing gray pants and a gray shirt. He has long hair pulled back into a ponytail. The man was believed to be armed.
The officer was not injured in the shooting.
Here’s a briefing from Terri Nifong:
Be careful out there.
Blood Fetishism and the Travis White Murder
Originally published at Red Alerts in 2009.
The Pagan Temple has a post up rightfully pointing out that the reporting on the Travis White Murder includes the assuredly erroneous assumption that because a couple of the six people charged in the crime and its cover up “claim to be Vampires” that Witchcraft (and in some people’s minds Wicca though the two are actually separate and distinct practices as any honest Wiccan will tell you) is somehow involved. I’ve found little evidence that any sort of Witchcraft was involved but there are references that the murderers, ranging in age from 14-years-old to a 27-year-old man, met playing a Vampire Role-Playing Game game which they discussed online at MySpace.
Reports like this one seem to conflate Witchcraft and “Vampirism” as alike and both playing a part in the crime:
The problem of course is that aside from their morbid interests there is little enough to go on to claim that Witchcraft was involved at all. I frankly doubt the murderers were affiliated with gangs either. But I think I might disagree with The Pagan Temple in the assessment that “vampirism” or more correctly blood fetishism, isn’t part of the crime.
I first came across the idea of blood fetishism in books like Olga Hoyt’s Lust for Blood and Something in the Blood by Jeff Guin and Andy Grieser which were little more than ethnographies of people who fetishized blood letting and blood consumption, often using Gothic punk style vampire mythology to create a sub-culture where their paraphilia can be indulged. Blood fetishism is often sexual, or the product of sexual dysfunction, and is not the purview of goths only.
This profile fits in with what we know of the story. The initiator of the murder was a 14-year-old girl who was being shared as a lover by two of the accused. This is clearly an unusual arraignment, given that it was apparently known and accepted by both her paramours. She claimed she had been raped by the victim, a charge she later recanted, and lured Travis White to her home where her two friends, 27-year-old Brian Golsby and 21-year-old Kasey Dodson spent hours beating, stabbing and cutting the victim. Friends of the group stopped by during the attack, reporting that the heard the victims piteous screams but claim they did nothing. They later helped dispose of White’s body.
The blood fetishist is a sadist, attracted to the vampire image because of the inherent sado-masochism of the vampire/victim relationship where the victim wants to be hurt by the vampire. As Hoyt and Guinn illustrate, the blood fetishist is not often a stereotypical “goth” though they are of course attracted to the same themes and entertainment. Â blood fetishists seek others who share their interest, either “donors” who are predated by the fetishist or other fetishists themselves, and in this case the core actors of the group have seemingly organized themselves into a group using the role-playing game they played (most likely White Wolf’s Vampire games) as a template.
The murder itself involved sadism most people aren’t used to hearing about, and which again supports the idea of this crime being committed by blood fetishists. The brutality is hard to speak of, suffice to say they victim was attacked with a bat, crescent wrench and a knife. He was struck at least 31 times by the blunt objects, stabbed 27 times (until the knife broke) and had “gang symbols” carved in his stomach. It would have been a blood soaked affair indeed. I should clarify that I am not claiming the assailants drank the blood of the victim, but there is an element of “blood play” here, a reveling in the bloodletting few of us could stomach.
As more information is released I would not be surprised however to hear of blood drinking. The police are coy about why they place so much emphasis on the supposed vampirism of those on trial, but simply wearing similar necklaces doesn’t usually make the news. One news report claims the two murderers were “acting as vampires” during the killing, which sans literal vampirizing of the victim would be a strange phrase to insert into a murder story the mourning family might read.
In the same vein, while the group are certainly not Wiccans, ritual blood letting, ala Alfonso de Jesus Constanzo isn’t something I’d rule out with this group. Whether it’s fair if that happened to call it Witchcraft would depend on your definition and understanding of both practices.
