Johnarian Travez Allen was shot eight times on Thursday evening in Union Springs, a small town some 45 miles outside of Montgomery, WSFA 12 reported. Jeremiah Wesley Penn claimed he shot Allen because the 29-year-old was taking too long to cross the street, according to Union Springs Police Chief Danny Jackson. Penn is being held on a capital murder charge in the Bullock County jail. Penn had supposedly gone to a store to purchase food. On his way over, he stopped to let Allen cross the street,

The biggest threat to a black man or black woman is another black person. I don't understand why there is so much violence associated with this community. The need to shoot another person over some perceived infraction is beyond my comprehension.

No reason to shoot the guy, but I have a hunch he was doing what many of them do. Take their sweet time (“Pedestrians have the right of way…”) and sashay across the street in front of any cars that have stopped for them… The victim looks like he could have been that type. A taunter.

No defense atty in their right mind would let this go to a jury.

A vicious, reflexively violent, ethics and morality-free subculture infects our country. Without this violent subculture, our murder rate would be lower than Europe.

There is a steady stream of slow walkers in the fire lanes at Walmart and grocery stores. Some are oblivious, others do a deliberate lazy walk as a form of civil disobedience.

How stupid! How awful!
When someone takes too much time crossing in front of my car - - I just run them over. It's ridiculous to pull out a gun and shoot someone - - when you can just run them down.

I don't know why I even scroll down to see the photos. I know already. (Looks like they may have reversed the photos, but I'm no expert on who's who.)

The city owes Penn 8 bullets & a bucket of McNuggets.

Hang on a minute. I'm going to pull a gun and shoot you dead because you're crossing the street too slowly for my convenience. By that paradigm every Friday commute would be a bloodbath.

I have often been the victim of ‘them’ sashaying in front of my vehicle, but I didn’t know they did it to each other. I guess they have indeed achieved equality.

OK, I'll admit I feel like doing the same at times. Difference is that I am able to manage that frustration without acting on it.

#13, that is called "being civilized". The feral folks can't get the knack of that stuff.

I've seen the scenario too many times before. Using exaggerated motions with arms and legs as if one is hurrying but in fact taking his damn time. A cross between feigned acknowledgement that someone is waiting for you and in-your-face and this is the maximum effort I'll make at being civil.
I'd imagine the perp has put up with this his whole life and finally had enough.

#15, there's a 75% chance the perp had no father to teach him things like patience and the consequences of your actions.

This is black-on-black crime. So how is it "news"? It happens thousands of times a year all over our country.
But we all know the tiny number of white-on-black killings is the real problem -- since BLM, Antifa, and the Demon-Rat Party tell us that day after day after day...

The slow-walkin’ dude failed to observe the etiquette of the street; don’t do to a fellow black what you do to whites. Darwin wins.

Me too, #’s 3 and 4. And they stare you in the face while doing it - as if daring you to object.

Americans of a certain persuasion do seem to cross roads rather slowly. It seems like a deliberate affectation. And a lot of them give you that look. Like you are the problem because you have a car and they don't.
And they walk as if to give the impression they have no particular destination or time in which they need to arrive at that destination.

Angry because someone's taking too long to cross? Spend the rest of the day talking with police and the rest of the year in court, and the rest of your life in prison; that'll get you where you're going faster. (/sarc-off)

This slower than molasses crossing in front of stopped cars I call "micro-aggression.' The worst thing to do, although it takes practice, is to NOT look at the person causing the irritation, and letting them think they've driven you bonkers. Instead, look down @your radio, and fiddle with the buttons/knobs, to look occupied and unconcerned with their obvious dalliance. You could also catch up w/any texts that may have arrived, and make sure you have no eye contact with them at all, and let them sulk about that. Life is much too short to let miscreants of whatever background or ethnicity shorten your peace of mind. Smiling!!

Another example of black on black crime that is ignored by the Black Lives Matters crowd and NBA! I guess not ALL black lives matter right LeBron?
