Ibn Hunter, 25, is one person that Atlantic City could do without. Hunter was arrested after he starred in a vicious video posted on YouTube where he taunts and then knocks out a 45-year-old homeless woman. The videotape below is disgusting and all the more disturbing by the utter lack of reaction of people around them.
Hunter is shown standing in front of the victim and asking her: “I ain’t gonna do what? I ain’t gonna grab you? I ain’t gonna do what?”
A person off camera joins the taunting and says: “She said you ain’t gonna smack her, dog.”
Hunter then stares into the camera and decks the woman as the cameraman yells “Bing! and “It’s over.”
The role of the cameraman should result in his arrest as well since he is actively participating in the creation of a videotape (which appears the strong motivation of Hunter). They appear joined in a common purpose to assault the woman while filming the crime.
The woman suffered severe head trauma. She was eventually upgraded to serious but stable condition.
Hunter was arrested on a warrant for aggravated assault. Not surprisingly he has a long criminal history with prior convictions for drugs and theft, including five adult convictions for burglary, robbery and drug possession. He racked up his first cocaine conviction at the age of 16.
It is not clear if an individual identified as Bdsp BroadDay was the man who filmed the crime, but police are trying to find him. BroadDay said on the web that the woman had tried to spit on Hunter.
The joy shown by Hunter in the taunting and assault of this woman should weigh heavily in my view on sentencing. I consider this type of criminal to be the most dangerous to society — someone who enjoys causing and watching the pain of defenseless individuals. It is conduct that should push a sentence to the very top of the discretionary scale for a court in my view.

Gun control is part of why this assault took place.
Incorrect. The chances of a homeless woman having a gun are essentially zero no matter what the laws are.
Rick wrote: “The chances of a homeless woman having a gun are essentially zero no matter what the laws are.”
Not true. I have known a significant number of homeless women to carry a handgun in their purse for protection. You might remember the famed serial killer prostitute who was homeless, Aileen Wuornos. She carried a handgun. It also wasn’t that hard to find a few examples on the internet of a homeless woman with a gun. The point is that the chances are not zero, and if the laws changed so that the taxpayer paid to arm and train citizens who could not afford protection, the chances are even higher.

Note that in Switzerland, every man must serve in the military and he is issued a firearm to be kept at his home. All his ammo is paid for by the government for target practice, etc., and when is service is over at the age of 40, he keeps his firearm (automatic weapons are converted to semi-automatic weapons at that point). Such results in virtually every home in Switzerland having a firearm.
“My point was why are you bringing up gun control on a case where there is not and will never be a gun?”
Gun control is part of why this assault took place.
The violent man feared her not, and used her as comic relief, knocking her unconscious.
What would you do when surrounded by 4 black gang banger teens trying to rob you on an NYC subway in 1984?
The incident sparked a nationwide debate on race and crime in major cities, the legal limits of self-defense, and the extent to which the citizenry could rely on the police to secure their safety.

Self-appointed blog monitors, stirring the pot. Overly invested, apparently.

Or a stun gun. Wouldn’t it be great to see her light up this mofo?”
Like these “good guys”?

“A newly released video, taken from the stun gun, tells a different story. Ajibade wasn’t fighting. He wasn’t moving at all when a deputy sheriff placed the high voltage device directly against his groin and fired.
“Law enforcement, who is supposed to protect him, particularly in times of need, killed him,” Mark O’Mara, the family’s attorney, told NBC News.
O’Mara, who is perhaps best known for his defense of George Zimmerman, told NBC News the family is considering a civil suit. He called the latest video, taken directly from the Taser and shown in court, “disgusting and vile.”
“It is nothing less than torture,” he said. “
Pretty good discussion. It’s nice some folks always sleep in.

The irony in this country is it’s much more difficult to purchase a taser than a gun. The govt. got in on the ground floor and regulated the hell out of taser purchases.

Hence her homelessness.
But what if she keeps it for self-protection, are you OK with that?
It doesn’t bother me as long as she doesn’t have mental health problems, but that isn’t the issue. My point was why are you bringing up gun control on a case where there is not and will never be a gun?
If not, then how can she be protected, since you oppose self defense?
Who opposes self-defense?
This is why Obama keeps letting everybody out of prison.
This guy is either not going to jail or will be out before the 2016 elections. The Democrats are counting on his vote.
Or a stun gun. Wouldn’t it be great to see her light up this mofo?
How about pepper spray for her?

What if I buy her one.
What if the NRA raises $50K and gave away guns to the homeless for self-protection.
You okay with it then?
I put the over-under on when she sells it at three hours.
KCF, Just read the words of Justice Holmes. He is soooo conflicted. He want cops, who he dislikes and doesn’t trust, to be the sole bearer of weapons. Because, his derision of cops is trumped by the fact that they are the govt., and govt. is a liberal’s religion.

It is almost impossible for a person to get a carry license in “Gun Controlled” New Jersey.
Mr. Turley. I pose a question with all due respect, what would you have done if you were there at the time? People who commit crimes also may have a greater potential threat for use of deadly force against anyone stepping in. If a person legally carries a firearm, then yes, intervention is possible to stop the bad guy in his tracts as it should be.
“I’m sure you realize that vigilante “justice” has little to do with protecting women or anyone else.”
Are you equating self-protection with vigilantism?
Why?
“She was homeless, how was she going to afford a gun?”
What if I buy her one.
What if the NRA raises $50K and gave away guns to the homeless for self-protection.
You okay with it then?
No, I don’t think the affordability is the problem for you.
Shorter Justice Holmes:
Yes, she has to live alongside these barbarians and do whatever they say, and get beaten whenever they feel like it.
Too bad, but self defense is too ‘problematic’.
That’s some social justice you got there, Justice.
