Alabama Teen Faces Terror Charges over Alleged Threats to Shoot Black People at County Fair
2022-10-11
[BREITBART] Alabama 18-year-old Pharrell Smith is under arrest and will face charges for allegedly threatening to shoot black fairgoers attending the Lee County Fair.

WRBL reports a post threatening black fairgoers began to be investigated by the Opelika Police Department on September 19, 2022.

The Opelika PD released as statement which said, in part, "Early yesterday, 9/19/s022, the Opelika Police Department was made aware of a racially inflammatory post on Facebook where an individual threatened to shoot attendees of a certain demographic at the upcoming Lee County Fair."

Opelika Police chief Shane Healey said, "The department takes threats like these very seriously and immediately began an investigation. Officials were able to trace the social media account to a residence in Lafayette, AL. Through the investigation, 18-year-old Pharrell Smith was developed as a suspect. On 10/06/2022, the Lafayette Police Department arrested Smith on unrelated charges."

#14  ^ My first thought, too, but no, there were Rebel flags involved and the unspeakable word seems to have been "N-gro." Clearly a committed Black white supremacist.

#13  Most likely his post was about “I’m gonna shoot some niggas,” which is just how blacks talk. Just more shoehorning in racism where there is none.

#7  I suppose it seemed clever at the time--go after a rival gang and try to cast blame on people who look different from you.

#2  According to the local Valley Times-News,

According to a press release from the LaFayette Police Department, Pharrell Tayshawn Smith, 18, of LaFayette, was arrested in connection with a shooting that occurred in LaFayette on Sept. 1, 2022, near 6th Place SE.

“Smith was arrested on the charges of attempted murder, reckless endangerment, discharging a firearm into an unoccupied dwelling, criminal mischief, and discharging a firearm in city limits,” the release said.

Smith is also wanted on unrelated charges through the Opelika Police Department.

Three variants, and at only 18 years of age. The yoot is positively precocious.
