PREJUDICE OR COINCIDENCE?
A teenager by the name of Jacob D. Robida was shot and killed by the police on Sunday. This teen had been accused of attacking three men in a New Bedford, Massachusetts bar. He attacked them after asking if the lounge was a gay bar. He then drove to West Virginia picked up a thirty three year old female from her home. The two then drove to Arkansas where Jacob was pulled over for a minor traffic violation. He then pulled out a gun and shot an officer to death and drove away. The word got out that this had happened fairly quickly because not too long after Jacob found himself in a high speed chase with Arkansas police. This chase went on for twenty miles through the hills of Arkansas. He then crashed in the small town of Norfork. After the crash Jacob shot his female passenger and started firing at police. Not too long after this Jacob himself was shot twice in the head and dies in Cox-South Hospital in Springfield. The police were still looking to find motivation behind this issue. They looked at a common internet site for teens known as myspace, and found the teens profile. They also found out that he had a swastika tattooed on his hand and has the symbol on much of his clothing. An interview with a friend of Jacobs' discusses more in detail.
