Bo Morrison Killing Was Self Defense Against Milwaukee Types—Blacks



Segregation in Milwaukee area - Blue is white, red is black

Young women hosted an unreasonably loud party around 1:00 A.M. and party-goers treated the next-door neighbor, Washington County homeowner Adam Kind—the killer of Bo Morrison—with disrespect in early March.

These are not capital offenses; inviting black guests in Slinger, Wisconsin is.

"Police reports said the homeowner [Adam Kind] had ongoing issues with his next-door neighbors. The homeowner told officers he'd seen people deal drugs and stated he knows the girls mingle with individuals from the Milwaukee area, but he told police he didn't report it then for fear of retaliation," reads a report from WISN.

Milwaukee area, you know: Blacks. Who cares if 20-year-old Bo Morrison is from West Bend. Yeah, he looks like Milwaukee to me.

Kind says he feels he cannot tell police the girls hosting the party mingle with individuals from the Milwaukee area, for fear of retaliation; but Kind feels empowered to shoot and kill with a 45-caliber pistol a crouching, young black man hiding after the break-up of the party, without fear of retaliation.

Something smells in Washington County: Adam Kind.

In a related development, PolitiScoop notes Washington County District Attorney, Mark Bensen ruled the killing: Self defense, Slinger Shooting – Not Castle Doctrine After All.

This murder investigation should not be over now, not by a long shot.

"He took one bullet and killed my son," Bo's mother, Lauri Morrison said.

Don't think the Slinger, Wisconsin, police and Washington County DA are too hot on the idea of looking into the killing of this young, black man.

Adam Kind took away everything from Lauri Morrison; 'too bad,' say the Slinger, Wisconsin police and Washington County DA.

Adam Kind of Slinger Is a Killer; Gov Candidate and Dem Sens Voted: Aye

Memorial Service for Bo Morrison

Update: Killer to Bo Morrison at approximately two minutes and thirty eight seconds into 911 call: "You stupid fucking kid." Nice.

Adam Kind is the admitted killer of 20-year-old Bo Morrison.

The killing by Adam Kind occurred in Slinger, Wisconsin, a village in Washington County, population: 3,901. [Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel (Vielmetti) and PoltiScoop (Tascoupe) have excellent reports.]

The Washington County DA ruled the killing by Adam Kind is justified under the controversial Wisconsin Castle Doctrine, passed 26-7 in the Wisconsin State Senate last November, including the votes of Democratic gubernatorial candidate Sen. Kathleen Vinehout, Spencer Coggs (D-Milwaukee), Lena Taylor (D-Milwaukee), and Bob Wirch (D-Pleasant Prairie). Of course the State Assembly overwhelmingly voted for passage as well, 71-24. The Castle Doctrine is close to the Florida Stand Your Ground law that was the basis of killing young Treyvon Martin. Most states also have Castle Doctrine laws.

But we're not kidding our selves.

Life is cheap for Adam Kind, George Zimmerman, and apparently for the politicians like Kathleen Vinehout, Coggs, Taylor and Wirch, who one would believe know better.

Wonder if these folks are having second thoughts now about their votes. Giving legal permission, it turns out, to load 45-caliber pistols, aim and shoot trespassers results in death by bullet. Who knew?

A we-were-wrong statement from all legislators and Scott Walker is a good beginning. Somehow I do not think this is forthcoming. At last Democrats and Walker have found something in common: Never admit a mistake.

Take a close look at the deceased, young Bo Morrison at right, and surprise: He's black and the killer is white.

Well, a bunch of young, loud, likely obnoxious underage kids were drinking and maybe smoking pot at a party at 1:00 a.m., got scared and ran when the party was broken up.

One of the kids ran inside Adam 'the killer' Kind's porch to hide. Kind, who moments before was on the phone with the 911 operator and police, had confronted the kids in the drive-way next door who were partying too loudly, went back and decided he had no choice when he heard a "banging," but to load his gun and kill Bo Morrison.

This was a lawful killing. But among the rational, this was a murder.

"When police arrived, they found Morrison still crouched between the dresser and refrigerator [on the porch], but found a bullet hole in the wall 49 inches from the floor. Morrison had been shot through the heart and lung" (Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel). Have a look at the Journal-Sentinel's timeline and graphic.

Privatizing murder is not the way forward for Wisconsin or any civilized society.
