On a Saturday afternoon in late March, middle-aged Charles Edward Turner walked into a McDonald’s in downtown Pittsburgh, tackled a 12-year-old boy, and stabbed him in the neck with a box cutter.
It took three family members to free the boy of Turner, who resisted being held down by shoving and biting one of them on the bicep, spilling blood in the fast-food restaurant. The family had stopped by for a quick bite after the diabetic boy’s blood sugar fell low. As the family’s everyday outing turned into a chaotic scene of blood and violence, they found themselves fighting for his life.
By the time police arrived, Turner had managed to get outside the restaurant. “White n——,” “white devils,” he shouted as officers and witnesses tried to get him under control. Turner fought with officers, striking one in the face, kicking and punching another, hurling racial slurs. According to the criminal complaint, he kept brawling with police even at the station house, kicking an officer and calling all the rest “white devils,” “rapists,” “white n——,” and “white satan.”
Turner is black, and what little we know of the incident strongly suggests his victims were white. Investigators said they do not believe Turner and the boy knew each other—as if that would make the incident any less depraved. The 51-year-old faces charges of attempted homicide, assault, and resisting arrest. For many observers, this has elements of a hate crime, just not the kind you’re supposed to notice.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
