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.
“Think of all the auto accidents.” Interesting point, Nick. Do you think there would be less, or more, auto accidents without required motor vehicle registration, training and licensing? I think we should treat gun ownership *at least* as seriously as we treat cars. I mean, cars are designed to get us from point A to point B, guns are designed to kill people.
ringhals – there is no Constitutional right to drive or own a car.
Elaine, Think of all the auto accidents. You would have us riding bikes, wouldn’t you Elaine? LOL!
The above three instances are only a tiny sampling the thousands of hits one gets when searching for “accidental shootings”. All you people who seem to think you can be a hero with your gun, you’re more likely to shoot yourselves or innocent bystanders.
A security guard for Palmetto Dunes was taken to the hospital Oct. 14 after he accidentally shot himself in the foot while demonstrating firearm safety for another security officer, according to a Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office report.
The incident is the second accidental gun discharge reported by a security guard in the Hilton Head Island gated community this year

Accidental shooter in Salina theater knows guns
His gun went off accidentally during a movie at a Salina theater Friday. But tonight this Concordia man says it has nothing to do with how well he’s been trained with guns. This is a follow up to a story we first told you about this weekend.
After the shot went off witnesses told Eyewitness News that they heard him yell, “I’ve been shot!” and “I just got my conceal carry license.” It’s something that he denies. He spoke exclusively with Eyewitness News about the training he’s had with firearms.
Cody Deneault says he’s former military, but an accident can happen to anyone and that’s what happened to him Friday night at a Salina theater.
“I think I either bumped the trigger or pushed it the wrong way or something and it went off,” Deneault said.
He and his wife say they were celebrating his birthday last Friday with a trip to the movies in Salina. Deneault says he was trying to re-position the gun he was carrying in his jeans pocket when it went off.
“I’d say my biggest mistake here was probably I didn’t have a holster,” he said. “And that is on me, for sure.”
He ended up spending the weekend in the hospital and still carries the bullet in his leg.

Atlantic City Man Arrested After Video Show Him Taunting And Assaulting Homeless Woman
Why the surprise?
Ibn Hunter was simply acting in a manner to which he has been conditioned his entire life (right or wrong): the strong prey upon the weak. We can observe this phenomena in individuals, groups and even nation states. Ibn Hunter may be an uneducated (scholastically speaking) and violent street rat but he is not stupid. In all of his 25 years gracing this planets surface Ibn Hunter’s government has been waging war and Ibn has been watching and not just any old war mind you but war where the world’s sole hyper-power, the US government, preys upon weaker nations such as Panama, Iraq 1990-2015, Yugoslavia, Somalia, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya (etal) because it can.
Ibn’s education continued on the domestic front and even though he may have dropped out of school at an early age but he had a front row seat on the streets to the war on drugs and how the local police using the expediency of the war to violate the very laws they have sworn to uphold all the while employing maximum violence (eg SWAT for warrant service) in a misguided attempt to police human nature and whose measure of success is destroyed families, over burdened courts, mass incarceration, trillions of dollars squandered and untold numbers of children who will grow up to be like Ibn which is not a very pleasant reality.
Ibn learned his lessons from the masters of violence:
that might makes right and the strong prey upon the weak.
Society itself is at fault for both Ibn Hunter, his street rat ilk and the homeless woman’s plight.
It is quite telling that in such an advanced and supposed first world nation such as the US with tens of trillions of dollars available to be squandered at the drop of a hat for the waging of war upon the weak or supporting rampant cronism run amok that we as a society neglect our most vulnerable and allow the edges of our culture to fray to such a point where the center may longer hold.
Is altruism dead?
The need for a weapon appears to directly correlate with certain city demographics.
My town is turning into Oakland. Oakland lite.
Drive-by shooting last night, a guy pumped three bullets through the walls of a house into a bedroom where three boys were standing. Missed.
Nurses walking home get mugged on and off.
Convenience stores are robbed.
Certain neighborhoods are really bad.
Gov. Dayton says I should leave, and I am thinking about it.
I’d also like to add that it’s sort of ridiculous to expect people to carry firearms everywhere they go
@ Jim
As a gun owner, I must agree with you about carrying a weapon everywhere. That is not a thing that very many people do and it does seem excessive. Actually, NO one has stated that expectation either, so that is a strawman argument.
Places that I don’t carry a gun. The grocery store, the post office, the doctors office, going out to a local restaurant, the beauty parlor, the hardware store and all sorts of other normal day to day activities. This is because I know my area. Know the people and likelihood of any serious danger is very very slim. Besides, conceal carrying is not easy and you have to be hyper vigilant at all times and aware of your weapon’s situation. Too much work for the normal life that I have.
However, if I were to go into the cesspool where this situation took place, I would certainly be carrying. First of all…..I wouldn’t go there. Been there done that. But hypothetically. IF I lived in Oakland Ca. I would carry ALL the time.
Where I do carry. Outside at night on our property. Not so much for people predators but for animal predators (mountain lions, bears oh my). During the day when hiking, snakes and again predators. When we are taking a drive in the forests and back roads. You never know what kind of nutball or drug cartel member you might run into in the National Forests. When on a lengthy road trip and if I am alone on a road trip. Where I have a weapon available (not carrying) at all times (unless there are children in the house) is at the front and back doors to easily be able to reach and chamber a 12 gauge shell if needed. KA CHUNK!.
DBQ stated it best.
Scenario #4 was what I was pointing to when referring to herd immunity earlier.
“t’s sort of ridiculous to expect people to carry firearms everywhere they go”
Yeah, you usually don’t need a gun .
Until you do.
Thankfully, it’s always obvious when thugs are going to pick you for their next victim.
Like disarming the military recruitment centers.
I mean, who needs guns at the mall?
And community colleges in the northwest US being Gun-Free zones.
Who is going to shoot at some college kids in class?
That’s just crazy talk!
To be serious. The issues are several here.
1. The depravity of these young men (I hesitate to call them men since I believe them to be barely human and are on the level of feral animals) in treating a defenseless woman in this manner. That they find it funny to torment and hurt another human being should be horrific to all of us.
2. That there are so many homeless who are clearly not capable of taking care of themselves even in the best of circumstances but even more so when incapacitated by drugs, alcohol or mental illness
3. That the people who are bystanders do not raise a finger to help this woman or try to stop it. Possibly they are afraid for themselves. Fear of becoming the next target or victim. But even worse and more horrific is the idea that the bystanders just don’t care. Ho hum….another homeless person and another instance of depraved youths….move along….nothing to see here.
4. Then there is the idea that IF there existed in the crowd those who were armed and therefore would be less likely to be afraid for their own selves and more likely to be able to intimidate the young guys from harming the helpless woman. If there was the possibility of an armed CC person the young guys might have had second thoughts about what they were doing. (Probably not, I doubt they have even first thoughts…but they might)
Would that last scenario have happened? Who knows. But we do know what happens when a bunch of unarmed sheep stand around goggle eyed while another human being is being tormented and hurt.
I prefer to have scenario # 4.
I was, as already stated, recommending an absurd solution to Rich’s argument that the homeless woman couldn’t afford a gun, offering to give her one or have the NRA buy them for the whole lot of homeless.
The purpose was to see if Rich was opposed to self-defense per se.
Absurdities aren’t always laugh out loud funny.
But they are jokes.
Although I now understand how making Swiftian modest proposals is no longer obviously seen as satire, when the ridiculous really does happen now on almost a daily basis, and it becomes difficult to tell when you are reading the Onion.
I’d also like to add that it’s sort of ridiculous to expect people to carry firearms everywhere they go. This is overblown and honestly makes gun rights proponents look like extremists. Jeez, step away from the gun and listen to how you sound. It’s not helping those who want to own guns and not be lumped in with the NRA and the like.
I didn’t take KCFleming’s comment regarding arming homeless people as a joke. He may have been trying to prove a point but it was not obvious in the way he formatted his argument. Annie and Rick were not in error taking is seriously, in my opinion. As I see it, either he meant what he said and then attempted to back out of it when it was questioned, or his attempts at joke making were of very poor quality.
Ha!
I arm my dog.

Annie, in fact, the woman thought he was going to hit her earlier, as she raised her left arm in defense when he did a mini-wind up.
My bet is she was stoned or drunk, unable to react.
That was no cold cock punch. He took several steps back, walked up, threw his leg high and raised hisd fist, then spun around.
Ain’t much more signalling of a punch possible.
