Attempted Lynching in Indiana. Meet the Survivor, Human Rights Commissioner Vauhxx Booker

We go to Bloomington, Indiana, to speak with the African American human rights commissioner for Monroe County, Vauhxx Booker, who says he survived an attempted lynching when a group of white men pinned him against a tree over the Fourth of July weekend. “You have to be aware of George Floyd and how many other Black folks in our history have heard their executions spoken before them in real time,” Booker recalls. “I felt myself want to cry out 'I can't breathe’ with these men on top of me, and I just couldn’t say the words.” Police were called, but no arrests were made. “These men remain loose in my community,” says Booker. The FBI is investigating the encounter as a potential hate crime, and Bloomington’s mayor has condemned the incident in a statement. But Booker is now calling on the U.S. District of Southern Indiana to convene a grand jury to take up the case. “At this point, I’m not sure that we can find justice in our local system,” he notes, “so we’ve asked for the federal government to step in.”

    Unfortunately, many of these people consider themselves Christians protecting our country from "evil". Note the Christian Cross tattooed over one of the attacker's heart. Trump has attempted to blend Christians with hate groups into his base. It has resulted in a perfect storm of hate and evilness. Good people who try to follow Christian beliefs are now sickened by the result. They are frightened and exhausted by Trumpism, or they double down, following Trump blindly while also essentially abandoning their faith, unable to live according to both the President and the true path of a loving Christian God. We are literally in purgatory with Trump as President. Christian or not, there is no hope under his leadership "brand". Disgusting.

    Cherub , my Indigenous melinated bro’s and sis must understand that these Grandchildren of European Colonists maintains the racist system in order to enjoy their “Whyte Privilege”, on these shores. The very sad thing is , no one points out that the Grandchildren of European Colonists oppress Indigenous Melinated people around the world! I been leaving this gem as a warning to the Grandchildren of the Europeans colonists. “ Sins of the Fathers shall be visited upon the Sons”. 😳 My people know this so well. Why, you may ask?!? Because we are the Grandchildren of the fallen Moorish Empire. Our ancestors enslaved the Europeans. God warned Us, the Children of *Israel (* old code name used for us Moors), to never enslave a human. God said if we do, that The Lord would destroy our nation then scatter us to the wind! This is the root cause as to why the Great Moorish🇲🇦 Empire fell and all melinated citizens of that empire that remained were enslaved! We paid the price of our ancestors sins! Peace from the Magi Hypnotist in the East. ❤️🇲🇦🇺🇸✡️📿🙏🏾

    @TheHalfBlackReaper I bet Mike Pence is really proud of that, too. This shit has to end. I'm almost 60, grew up in racist E. Texas but my High School in the 70s was a lot more progressive than most schools are now. I lived in a suburb of Dallas where many of our parents worked for high tech, international companies like Rockwell, E Systems, Texas Instruments, Eriksson, etc. We had students whose parents were from more than 60 different countries, and that diversity was encouraged and celebrated, racism wasn't tolerated. About 10 percent of students were black, and we had no stupid "dress codes" that prohibited natural hair and expression of style. One of the smartest guys sat behind me in Algebra, and helped me pass that class (I still suck at math). "Cubby" was also a star athlete, funny, cute, very popular, and had a HUGE afro that wouldn't be allowed in school now. I'm glad he didn't get hassled about his hair and was able to focus on being successful in school. He earned a full scholarship to Grambling U, and was drafted by the Dallas Cowboys upon graduation and is now a member of the NFL Hall of Fame. Cubby is better known as Everson Walls.

That ended in an altercation in which he were restrained against a tree, at which time one of the companions began filming, and there was an argument between the two groups that led to one of the people from the other group slapping a phone out of his friends hand, which he picked up almost immediately while moving to stand behind him and film. Their were 5 or 6 total cameras recording on his side, among his group, and not one of them captured any video that confirms his accusations. He has a history of causing altercations and becoming confrontational, which has resulted in him being banned from several businesses in his area, and he is considered a vocal and confrontational activist by people in his community. Beyond that, he is known to have political aspirations.

    Zir Alert A lot of people do ‘trespass’ without fear. Especially in cities. In some wooded area, you might be lost (& nervous), but the owner has an obligation to see to it that harm is minimized for anyone coming onto their property. Liens are placed on properties all the time for that very reason. Unless an owner of a property is up to no good, I can’t think of any particular reason that a sane landlord wouldn’t simply point the misguided persons to the correct tracts for access/egress, since without fencing, you’ve got no outlines. (Very few homeowners buy all of the woods & encroachments, unless there’s a neighborhood clause in the mortgage.)

The only reason I did it was because it was in a northern blue state. I'd never do that where I'm from in the south. Ever. I was a little nervous doing it with all the white people up north. But they were cool and loving, as I suspected.

This country tries so hard to pretend like this doesn’t happen everywhere, all over, every single goddam day. It’s not just a bad, racist single apple in some far-flung flyover shithole that coastal elites can scoff at, no: this is Amerikkka. Look it right in the eyes!

Stand your ground also doesn’t apply to Black ppl, a woman who had a “stay away order” against her abusive partner, was arrested for murder when the man came to her house and tried to break in. She had a gun permit to protect herself but wound up in jail for protecting herself. Those laws only apply to us white ppl.

    As a white woman, let me tell the world one lesson ive learned: never apologize to a white man when you aren't in the wrong. It emboldens them rather than de-escalates them. I'm not suggesting go toe to toe, but avoid taking a one-down position. I'm not criticizing this man. He has my utmost support. I'm just passing my experience as people may be wondering what they can or should do if something happens to them. I use questions to put the ball in their court. 'I'm on private property? I didn't know that. Whose land is this? Where is the forest service boundary? Why isn't it marked?' I dont know if this would help once evil people are drunk, but it helps a lot in a lot of situations. It makes the aggressors do all the thinking. It makes them walk away grumbling instead of arguing my points.

    @Zir Alert i should rephrase this because a white man might read It? Are all white men so fragile they can't let one slide for the cause of empathy in this really intense case?

    I really don't think those meathead thugs knew or cared about what Vaughxx' job was, and I don't think they'd understand it if they were told. Vaughxx says that even the policeman continued to lecture him about property rights even after it was clearly stated that no trespassing had occurred and that Vaughxx was actually an expert in local property laws. The attack was definitely deliberate based on Vaughxx' skin color and even the police offered basically no support. The level of ignorance in this situation was extreme.

    daft wod i think there's more to the story also, he seems disingenuous . no sound from video in woods. i think it's a setup of some sort and he trespassed on private property , cameraman at the ready. he was prob told it was private property and said screw you im cutting through to get to my campsite . campsite was public but if he cut through private land and got combative. and the someone bring me a noose statement , sure in broad daylight and on film we're gonna hang someone?.. smells funny
