Shaun ‘Talcum X’ King Threatens Violence Against State of Georgia and Men Involved in Ahmaud Arbery Shooting
His Facebook account remains active, despite the threats.
Shaun ‘Talcum X’ King posted a violent threat towards the state of Georgia and the men involved in the fatal shooting of Ahmaud Arbery on Facebook — claiming that he knows where the men live and where they are “hiding out.”
Gregory McMichael, 64, and his son, Travis McMichael, 34, were charged with murder on Friday over Arbery’s death.

Arbery was running through a neighborhood outside Brunswick that was miles from his home on February 23 when he was shot and killed. The elder McMichael, 64, a former law enforcement officer, said that he believed the man had matched the description of a man who had been burglarizing houses in the area. He stated that he and his son had been attempting to perform a citizen’s arrest when the confrontation took place.
McMichael asserts that his son and Arbery had got into a struggle over the shotgun that Travis was carrying. His son claims that he was attacked, and that is why he fired the weapon.
The media and activists have maintained that the man was just jogging, though it remains unclear why he would have been doing it so far from home. The owner of an under-construction home caught multiple surveillance footage clips of a man who appears to match Arbery’s description trespassing on the property.
The property owner has now been receiving death threats.
In a Facebook post on Friday, King addressed the two men saying “I need you to know that I know where you live and where you are hiding out.
“Right now I’m the only thing keeping about 150 different from [sic] people killing you,” he added.
King went on to address the “state of Georgia,” saying “hold these men accountable for the lynching of Ahmaud Arbery. I assure you it’s in your best interest.”

The post was later removed, either by King or by Facebook. It was archived by Post Millenial Editor-at-Large Andy Ngo.
It is unclear why Facebook did not suspend his account, which clearly violated the Terms of Service guidelines against violent threats. King’s page, with 1.9 million followers, remained active on Friday evening. The District Herald has reached out to Facebook for comment and will update this post if one is provided.
On Tuesday, a local radio host released footage of the shooting, which prompted rapid social media outcry. People were quick to assert, seemingly without any evidence, that these white men had stalked and “hunted” the black man because of his race.
CNN reports that Waycross Judicial Circuit District Attorney George Barnhill had found that the autopsy, however, appeared to be consistent with McMichaels claim that there had been a struggle over the weapon.
“The first shot went through Arbery’s right palm, consistent with Arbery grabbing the gun barrel, Barnhill, who said he saw an autopsy report, wrote. The second shot is consistent with Travis McMichael ‘attempting to push the gun away from Arbery while Arbery was pulling it toward himself. The third shot, too, appears to be in a struggle over the gun,’ the prosecutor wrote.”
Arbery family attorney S. Lee Merritt has said that even if he had robbed someone, it is not up to the public to take justice into their own hands.
“We don’t believe that this was even arguably self-defense or a citizen’s arrest, but even under their sort of peculiar theory, they can’t set a trap,” he told CNN, discussing the state’s Stand Your Ground laws.
“They can’t stop someone in the middle of the road, hop out with (guns), create a dangerous situation and avail themselves of stand your ground or self-defense. That’s just not how the law’s designed to work.”

Black Lives Matter Extremists Cover Former Home of Chauvin Defense Witness With Animal Blood, Leave Severed Pig Head on Doorstep
The former home of Barry Brodd, who testified as a witness for Derek Chauvin’s defense, was covered with animal blood and a severed pig’s head was left on their front porch on Saturday morning.
The former home of Barry Brodd, who testified as a witness for Derek Chauvin’s defense, was covered with animal blood and a severed pig’s head was left on their front porch on Saturday morning.
Brodd no longer lives at the Santa Rose home that was attacked.
Brodd testified last week that police were justified in keeping George Floyd pinned because he kept struggling.
The new family that lives there called the police when they were awakened by the group of black clad individuals outside their home shortly after 3 a.m.
Law enforcement believes that the individuals thought that Brodd still lived there.
Santa Rosa Police say 45 minutes later a hand statue at the plaza mall was vandalized w/blood and a sign saying “Oink Oink”. The substance is believed to be animal blood.

“Because Mr. Brodd no longer lives in the city of Santa Rosa, it appears the victim was falsely targeted,” police said in a news release.
Santa Rosa Police Chief Rainer Navarro through Brodd under the bus on April 13, issuing a statement saying “Mr. Brodd’s comments do not reflect the values and beliefs of the Santa Rosa Police Department.”
Approximatey 45 minutes after the home was vandalized, a hand statue in front of the Santa Rosa Plaza mall was also splattered with animal blood. The vandals, who match the description of the people who attacked the home, left a sign with a pig on it that read “oink oink.” The statue has no apparent message related to the trial, as it is dedicated to immigrant agricultural workers.
Damage to the residence exceeded $400, making the attack a felony, according to a report from KPIX.
Anyone who witnessed or has information about the attack is encouraged to contact SRPD through their online Tip Line: http://www.srcity.org/CrimeTips.

A GoFundMe campaign to support the restaurant has raised over $20,000.
In an email to her ex-husband Hunter Biden, Kathleen Biden told her troubled former spouse that he is a better father than Joe Biden was.
The cryptic email was found in a trove of documents currently being reviewed in a joint effort by District Herald and the Nationalist Review, provided to us on Friday by a source who obtained them from former Mayor Rudy Giuliani.
“I want you to know that you are a great father – a better father than your dad. Your girls love you because you love them for who they are. You haven’t judged them, you have loved them for who they are. You listen and you make them and their problems important to you. You make them great because you allow them to be who they are without unfair expectations. You are patient, caring, and loving,” Kathleen Biden wrote. “I know you and I have struggled but your love for the girls hasn’t waivered. Remember how we use to joke that the girls didn’t have anything to survive to make them strong and interesting? Well, we gave it to them! They did survive it and they are stronger. Through it all they never questioned your love or commitment.”
Kathleen Biden asserted that the former Vice President “wasn’t perfect” as a father.
“I know you love your dad and I do too but he wasn’t perfect,” the mother of Hunter’s children continued. “No one is perfect. At your core, you taught our girls what was important. They are kind, thoughtful, open, curious, funny, compassionate and hard working. You were as much a part of that as I was in helping them grow. Don’t ever question whether you were as good a father as your dad. You were better, in every way.”
In response, Hunter wrote that he worries he has failed them. “Thank you for this it means everything to me. I worry so much that I have failed you all in so many ways,” he said.
Hunter also acknowledged that he will need to earn his children’s trust and respect back, though the reason is unclear.
“I know the girls love me- but I often wonder if they trust and respect me. I know it’s something I have to earn back. And I know that you are the best mother I have ever known. You have raised three incredible young women. We are so lucky to have them, and I am so lucky to have met you 23 years ago. Thank you,” he wrote.
