Massacre of ten students by two home invaders prevented, because one of the intended victims had a gun

More facts are needed to understand this story, but the basic picture is there. The invaders, after they had broken into the apartment and had brought the five male and five female students under their power, confirmed to each other they had “enough” bullets. Clearly they were intending to commit mass murder. The students certainly believed that that was the case. One of the five male students had a gun in his pack. When one of the invaders began a sexual assault on one of the five female students, the male student took out his gun and fatally shot the would-be rapist and mass murderer, and the other invader ran away.

The only student we know anything about, because he was interviewed on TV, is Charles Bailey, in whose apartment the incident occurred. Bailey is black. It was one of his guests who used the gun. It would seem most likely that Bailey’s guests were black, since young blacks and whites would not be expected to socialize that much.. Also, one of the suspects lived in the same apartment complex, so it appears that the complex is largely black. All of which raises the question of motive. I do not recall any incident in which black criminals or home invaders committed mass murder on a group of blacks without some prior motive such as personal vengeance or criminal “business,” but I may be wrong about that.

Further, the skimpy news story on the incident, all 350 words of it, from WSBTV, dated May 4, is the only news article about it. All other reference I’ve found in a Google search are a blogs and websites that are quoting the original WSBTV story. A remarkable thing like this happens, a mass murder prevented, and it gets virtually no coverage. Why? From the nature of the story—home invasion by blacks, intended mass murder of the young victims, resembling the Witchita Massacre—I had initially thought the ten students were white, and I attributed the lack of coverage to the media’s not wanting to tell the story of a white male using a gun to stop a racial massacre of whites. But since at least some and probably all the potential victims were black, the reason for the non-coverage might be the media’s lack of interest in the use of a gun to stop murderers, by a potential victim of any race.

College Student Shoots, Kills Home Invader

COLLEGE PARK, Ga.—A group of college students said they are lucky to be alive and they’re thanking the quick-thinking of one of their own. Police said a fellow student shot and killed one of two masked me who burst into an apartment.

Channel 2 Action News reporter Tom Jones met with one of the students to talk about the incident.

“Apparently, his intent was to rape and murder us all,” said student Charles Bailey.

Bailey said he thought it was the end of his life and the lives of the 10 people inside his apartment for a birthday party after two masked men with guns burst in through a patio door.

“They just came in and separated the men from the women and said, ‘Give me your wallets and cell phones,’” said George Williams of the College Park Police Department.

Bailey said the gunmen started counting bullets. “The other guy asked how many (bullets) he had. He said he had enough,” said Bailey.

That’s when one student grabbed a gun out of a backpack and shot at the invader who was watching the men. The gunman ran out of the apartment.

The student then ran to the room where the second gunman, identified by police as 23-year-old Calvin Lavant, was holding the women.

“Apparently the guy was getting ready to rape his girlfriend. So he told the girls to get down and he started shooting. The guy jumped out of the window,” said Bailey.

A neighbor heard the shots and heard someone running nearby.

“And I heard someone say, ‘Someone help me. Call the police. Somebody call the police,’” said a neighbor.

The neighbor said she believes it was Lavant, who was found dead near his apartment, only one building away.

Bailey said he is just thankful one student risked his life to keep others alive.

“I think all of us are really cognizant of the fact that we could have all been killed,” said Bailey.

One female student was shot several times during the crossfire. She is expected to make a full recovery.

Police said they are close to making the arrest of the second suspect.

Another reason the story may not get much airplay is this: it shows blacks using their Second Amendment rights to protect themselves from predatory blacks. That violates the liberal worldview in serious ways. For liberals, black savagery must be denied, even as it provides the lowest common denominator of human conduct that legitimizes totalitarian government domination (including the disarming) of everyone. For blacks to show that they too can use the freedom of the non-totalitarian, non-liberal order to protect themselves and suppress black savagery robs the liberal manager of his purpose on this earth. It confirms what many blacks know: they have armed themselves and are ready to shoot to kill blacks who attack them or their families, regardless of socio-political excuses for black crime.

The MSM doesn’t like to cover a story in which a possible victim uses a gun to save himself.
