Black woman murders two female tourists in Atlantic City

The killer’s mug shot has been on the Web at least since this morning. But most of the articles on this double murder decline to show her photo and are silent about her race. Also, I believe that the two victims are Chinese, but I no longer have the link that indicated that.

One of the stories said that the killings took place “during a botched robbery.” How unreal that is. Armed robbery means that you are threatening the victim with death or serious injury if he doesn’t comply with your demand for money. An armed robbery culminating in murder is not a “botched robbery,” it is a robbery ending in one of the three or four ways in which it was destined to end.

Further, when the killer stabs the victims multiple times, as in this case, the murder has far transcended the robbery, the murder has nothing to do with the robbery. Yet still they call it a “botched robbery,” or a “robbery gone wrong.”

CBS in Philadelphia reports:

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (CBS)—Two female tourists were stabbed to death in what appears to have been a random and unprovoked attack [translation: an attack by a black] in Atlantic City Monday.

At about 10 a.m., an officer on patrol in the 1900 block of Pacific Avenue in Atlantic City saw a 44-year-old woman, identified as Antoinette E. Pelzer, stabbing another woman. The officer drew his gun and ordered Pelzer to drop the knife. She complied and was taken into custody.

Police say an 80-year-old woman and a 47-year-old woman, both Canadian residents, were stabbed multiple times in the upper body region and taken to AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center where they succumbed to their injuries.

It is unclear if the victims are related; their names are being withheld pending family notification.

Witnesses say Pelzer was attempting to rob one of the victims of her purse. There is no indication the victims and suspect knew each other, according to investigators.

Pelzer had a driver’s license from Pennsylvania and police are looking into where and how long she has been staying in Atlantic City. Those who knew Pelzer are shocked to hear of the news.

“She’s a very good girl, she’s very upstanding and has been a very good friend of mine,” said one woman who did not wish to be identified.

Pelzer is charged with unlawful possession of a weapon, possession of a weapon for unlawful purpose and robbery. She was also charged with two counts of aggravated assault, but it is anticipated that there will be additional charges due to the deaths of the victims. Bail was not set as of 6 p.m. Monday.
