A grand jury declined to indict Jacob Bard. He is a free man. On December 6th, Jacob Bard and his wife were at the Kentucky State University (KSU) campus. Original reports were that a father shot at students while helping his son move off campus. It sounded like a reckless act of anger, and no additional details were learned until weeks later.
What led up to the shooting and the decision not to indict is shocking and shameful.
Jacob Bard's two sons, 18 and 19 years old, are both students at KSU and are on its baseball team. In October, the 18-year-old reported that a robbery had occurred in his dorm room, and he was subsequently beaten up in his dorm room, along with 3 other students, by 15-20 people in retaliation. When this group robbed Jacob Bard's son, fire alarms were pulled, and fire extinguishers were used to disable security cameras, which demonstrates that this was an orchestrated crime. In another incident, 30 people came to the dorm room to terrorize Bard's 18-year-old son, but they disappeared when campus police arrived after being called.
It was normal for the son to call his parents, who drove from Indiana and arrived at midnight, to check on them. Bard's son and his roommates had not left their room to eat for days for fear for their lives. Bard took them all out to eat, then he and his wife met with campus police. It was this meeting that left the Bards feeling even less confident about the security of their sons on campus.
Bard and his wife decided to move their sons off campus as a result of repeated threats to their youngest son's safety. It was during this move that the criminal students approached the family and started assaulting the sons. Jacob Bard shot at the crowd of individuals attacking his sons, using his wife's gun. He hit one individual and killed another. Bard was arrested on murder and assault charges, but his legal team convinced the grand jury that it was KSU's poor security measures that created an unsafe, criminal environment that led to the shooting in self-defense.
Recently, the parents of the student who was killed, 19-year-old De'Jon Fox, were arrested in Indiana for attempting to attack Jacob Bard. They are being held on a $ 1,500 bail.
Not all campuses are the same. It is unthinkable that an organized group of criminals can grow to such a size, and the brazen nature of this group indicates the poor security at KSU. Unfortunately, some educators believe in having an open-door policy where continuous forgiveness and overlooking faults is the way to handle problem students. The belief is that everyone has a right to an education, including those students who do not prioritize education.
KSU President Koffi Akakpo said, "The University is enhancing security measures and continuing internal reviews, while taking steps to help ensure our campus environment remains one where all can pursue their education safely. In accordance with University policies, when conduct within the University's jurisdiction is found to violate our standards, appropriate action will be taken through established processes."

Increase in Violence Against Women in America
Basilisa Negron, 47 years old, was murdered after being stalked by her ex-boyfriend, with whom she had a 20-year toxic relationship. After ending their relationship, he stalked Negron, who moved from her Pennsylvania home to her daughter's in Harlem, NY. She shared 3 children with him. He taunted her children by calling and recounting her every move he witnessed her make. They all went to the NYPD, who were no help. The boyfriend came into the victim's adult daughter's apartment, while the daughter was at work, and shot her multiple times. There was no record of a restraining order at the time, according to news reports, and there have been no arrests yet.
In Bonanza, Arkansas, Charity Beallis, 40 years old, and her six-year-old twins were found shot to death in their $755K mansion one day after her divorce proceedings were finalized. The day after her death, her husband's attorney filed a motion to dismiss the divorce case since the wife was now dead! She filed for divorce after her husband, Dr. Randall Beallis, choked her last February, in front of their children. He was arrested, pleaded guilty, and given a one-year suspended sentence and a $ 1,500 fine.
In her Facebook posts, Charity expressed her frustrations with the court system and her fears for her family's safety. She accused the system of protecting her husband and stated that the Prosecuting Attorney Daniel Shue has been impossible to contact and has refused to accept a letter from her. The sheriff's office will not provide any details about its investigation, nor has anyone been arrested in this murder.
It is interesting that in the movies where white women have been domestic violence victims ("Sleeping with the Enemy," "Dolores Claiborne, Fried Green Tomatoes," etc), they kill their abuser. I ignore the Tyler Perry films, such as "Diary of a Mad Black Woman," where the domestic violence victims' weapon or strategy is to forgive their abuser to move on with their lives.
The problem with America is that people are commodities, especially women. We are viewed as property or tools to enhance someone else's life, to our own detriment. There is no balance, which is why when women end these types of toxic relationships, they are hunted down like animals, tortured, and then murdered in cold blood.
Instead of relying solely on efforts to convince politicians and law enforcement to create and enforce laws that discourage domestic violence, there should be even stronger efforts to embrace, support, and protect women, such as Haila Gabr, Pieper Lewis, and Chrystul Kizer, who have fought back against their attackers. The problem with men who would rather commit assaults, murders, or murder-suicides against women who suggest a break-up is a systemic issue that public service announcements won't fix!
The main problem is that the oppressed allow the oppressor to be the problem solver. Racist, sexist, and ageist mentalities should not be involved with any social problem-solving because they ARE part of the problem. People who look to these sociopaths for solutions are the other part of the problem. The media is the enabler of America's sociopathology. We should know America is not serious about attacking sexism, racism, ageism, and other social ills because the American media would rather invest its efforts in uncovering the social ills of other countries, especially Muslim ones or ones on every continent except Europe.
It is ridiculous to leave it up to our enemies to decide how to remedy racism and sexism when it is obvious they have a skewed view of reality.
