Caution When Coming To The Rescue

Ah Hammond, Indiana….

2 killed, 3 hospitalized after mass shooting at Indiana bar, alleged shooter arrested

The shooting happened in the city of Hammond that is in the shithole northwest corner of Indiana along with Gary, an area just outside of Chicago that is a festering boil on the Hoosier state. A mass shooting is not surprising to anyone familiar with the area, Hammond borders Gary and that is one of the blackest cities in America at a steady 80%. I travelled there on business once and regretted it.

The gist of the story is that a 2G was at the casino in Hammond where he proceeded to lose reportedly between $7,000 and $10,000. The 2G in question is one Caprice Cashaw.

I assume his mama was not familiar with “caprice” as a noun meaning “An impulsive change of mind”, where we get the word “capricious” so I can only assume she was naming him after the crappy Chevy car. Maybe she got knocked up in a Chevy Caprice before she had him?

Anyway, as he had just lost many thousands of dollars gambling, the obvious thing to do was get into an argument with his unnamed girlfriend as it was apparently her fault that he can’t gamble worth a damn and then proceeded to beat the shit out of her in the car. That is when they ended up at the Portside Pub in Whiting, Indiana, which is fairly close to the casino in Hammond. It was at this point when this really went to crap.

Caprice Cashaw was beating his “girlfriend” for a solid six minutes. A high school wrestling match is six minutes and believe me if you are losing that can be a very long time but if someone is hitting you, it must seem like an eternity.

A 58 year old woman at the bar named Lorraine Reyna left the bar and saw what was going on….

She went back into the bar and told the bartender, a 25 year old named Paul Emigdio Olivares what was happening…..

Olivares went outside and tried to do the right thing, which often ends up being fatal around 2Gs…..

“What’s going on?,” Olivares said to them after he and Reyna approached the vehicle. The two other patrons stayed behind outside.

While they were approaching, Cashaw’s girlfriend bolted from the vehicle and attempted to run inside the bar.

Olivares can be heard saying “get inside the bar” and motioning for the girlfriend to enter when they may have been obstructed from doing so.

Documents state that the two patrons who stayed back entered the bar prior to Reyna, the girlfriend and Olivares and the front door was closed.

Olivares said “open the door” repeatedly and then over 20 shots rang out. Authorities allege that Cashaw shot multiple rounds directly into the back of Reyna after shooting Olivares.

Cashaw’s girlfriend came running into the bar and collapsed halfway inside after being shot.

Surveillance footage showed the two patrons previously mentioned being shot as sparks bounced off the metal barstools from bullets. Police allege Cashaw walked into the bar and fired at least five rounds.

Cashaw shot a 59 year old woman in the back multiple times after shooting the bartender who was trying to help a woman in distress. The girlfriend was shot 10 times but is expected to survive as are the other two unnamed bar patrons who were also shot in Cashaw’s fit of rage.

Paul Olivares was trying to do what seemed like the right thing. A man is beating the crap out of a woman, so he tried to intervene to protect her. What he didn’t do was be prepared for the sudden escalation of violence far out of proportion to the situation that is a trademark of black culture (ex. stabbing someone to death for asking you to move). It seemed to all happen very quickly, from just walking outside to see what was happening to being murdered in cold blood by a 2G chimping out because he was mad.

If your immediate mindset change upon seeing a black in a state of….well of being black isn’t to be on full alert, expecting violence and being prepared to defend yourself, you are asking to be a victim. The first step is of course to avoid them when possible but if unavoidable then situational awareness is even more critical than being armed.

I get the impulse to race to the rescue of a woman being beaten up by a 2G but then again she was his “girlfriend” so she voluntarily got herself into that situation. Do you think this is the first time he has responded to being upset with violence?

Your blood is too precious to be spilled to defend some chick that is in a relationship with a black guy. Don’t be a hero because in the real world they often end up dead.
