Black Woman Shot and Killed By Man who Drives through red light causing Accident [View all]

is this what they mean by "taking our country back" ?


<At 7:20 a.m., as she was driving her Ford Taurus, she had no idea that she was living her very last moments on this Earth. Matthew Ryan Desha, a 29-year-old white man, ran a red light at an intersection and hit Pearl's car with his Jeep.

After his car flipped many times and hers was pushed into the intersection, what happened next was like something out of a horror movie.

As Deborah Pearl got out of her car to assess the situation, Matthew Desha did as well. Except he also grabbed his 5.56-millimeter high powered assault rifle. According to witnesses, Pearl then proceeded to put her hands in the air in attempt to save her life from the armed stranger who had narrowly avoided killing them both in the crash just seconds earlier.

It mattered not to Matthew Desha. A witness who called 911 reported hearing him fire off at least 12 shots. At first, they appeared to be random. The 911 caller heard Deborah Pearl, who was a sitting duck at that point, begin screaming. Desha then began aiming and firing at her. While it has not yet been released how many times she was hit, when police arrived at the scene, Deborah Pearl was found on the pavement mortally wounded and bleeding out. >
