A Houston Black Panther organization called for the arrest of a store clerk after a confrontation that left one man shot in the stomach. The Black Panthers led a march yesterday.
Street thug Alexander Calloway was shot after assaulting the clerk at 3:30 in the morning.
The protesters claimed Calloway was an innocent young father.
KHOU reported:
As family members of a man who was shot by a Valero clerk in southeast Houston called for the store clerk’s arrest, the store owner released surveillance video.
Alexander Calloway, 21, and his two cousins were trying to enter the gas station on Martin Luther King and Belarbor around 3:30 a.m., but the store was locked.
The young men got into an argument with the clerk, who unlocked his door and came outside, police said.
Someone punched the clerk in the face and the clerk pulled out his gun and shot Calloway in the stomach, according to HPD.
Calloway’s cousins rushed him to a fire station on Cullen at Selinsky, and paramedics transported him to Ben Taub Hospital in critical condition.
On Tuesday, the store owner played the surveillance video for KHOU 11 News.
It showed the store clerk being punched by Calloway before the clerk opened fire.
Community members marched in front of the store and demanded justice. Calloway’s father blamed the clerk for what happened to his son.

The clerk should be getting a reward for removing a thug from the streets.

Obama voters.
Comrade J commented:
So according to thug’s dad, the clerk didn’t have to shoot him? After the thug attacked the clerk?
Both the thug and his dad belong in jail. As well as those protesting.
Remco Kimber commented:
On the other side of the glass door is,
a black,
who is belligerent,
and it’s 3 in the morning.
Why did he unlock that door?

I would have blown his head clean off of his shoulders – hence, end of story.

Should have aimed a little higher. Dead detrious doesn’t cry racism.

Why did he unlock that door? There comes a time in every man’s life where he takes a stand, when he won’t, just. can’t. take. it. anymore. and acts.
Mad Hatter commented:
He should get employee of the year. Also, if you’re ever physically assaulted like that, learn to empty the chamber since he may be carrying, and could easily shoot you.
Eddie Baby commented:
I guess it’s hard to block a punch when you have a gun in your hand. Of course, you should not get in a fist fight with somebody holding a gun in his had, so it all works out.
Ragspierre commented:
The clerk will very likely have to face a jury. He did a lot wrong, starting with opening the door. When you have the right to use deadly force, you have the responsibility to use it according to the law.
Rachelle commented:
When is somebody in the legal system going to arrest a Black Panther for putting out a reward for killing or kidnapping George Zimmerman?
I thought it was supposed to be illegal to pay someone to kill another person.
Apparently not if you are black.
These people may end up with the total destruction of race relations in America.
Robert commented:
Maybe the father should aks why his son is at the locked door of a business at 3:30 in the morning arguing with the clerk.
Patty commented:
Clerk shouldn’t have opened the door. That said, THIS WON’T HAPPEN AGAIN? sorry, LOL! Really?

I agree! Yet, now, he will be arrested.

++
there was a time in which a stunt like this may have worked for Al
Sharpton and his manipulative thugs, however, unless these well
known criminals have a GUN to dl Holders head, it shouldn’t work
for “his people”.. but, up is down, good is evil, etc, these days as
well.. and to be frank, “we the people” seem to do little more than
just sit and complain about it.. no, we don’t want to be like them,
but Obama et al are apprently determined to give US no choice,
like i’ve been saying for several years now, Obama is not only hell
bent on revolution, but correcting Hitlers mistakes..

Patty commented:
A lot of whys and whats missing from this sorry. It is obvious that thugs out for the night making trouble. This is their MO.
Disgusted commented:
Dude had it comin. 2 bad he’s not takin a nice long dirt nap.
Patty commented:
Like a homeowner in some states, if a victim of a burglary, once someone steps into your home, you can shoot them. I just wonder if the clerk figured if he was hurt inside he could shoot.
Ambulance chasers are itching to take on this case. Clerk will be another Zimmerman. I realize this is not the same but just another night in the city.
