Pass the Axe
🕑 Added 2021-04-22 02:54:53 +0000 UTCNew Bedford, MA - or, “The Whaling City,” is a quaint fishing town that is one of the most multicultural & diverse in the United States. With large Portuguese, Black, and several other various ethnic communities occupying the close knit neighborhoods, New Bedford would be the last place anyone would expect to witness a horrifically violent hate crime. Yet in 2006, that’s exactly what its residents would be forced to endure. 18-year-old Jacob Robida walked into a New Bedford gay bar armed with a pistol, knife, and a hatchet- tucked in his belt, under is black hooded sweatshirt. This is the tale of an anger-fueled loner, influenced by ideologies of homophobia, racism, and violent music.

You could've stopped at the part where Jacob domed himself. I cut the episode off after you said you were able to talk to his friends blah blah blah. I don't give a shit. No one should. Let this fucker fade into the dustbin of history.

Haven't finished this episode yet. I live 60 miles from Gassville, AR. I remember this. There's a stretch of highway named after the officer.
