Last year, a 77-year-old Milwalkee man named John Spooner shot and killed his neighbor, 13-year-old Darius Simmons. The racist John Spooner was the victim of several burglaries and believed Darius Simmons was involved with at least one of them.
So he confronted Simmons with a gun as the teen was taking out the garbage – and murdered him. Luckily the incident was videotaped – so the jury couldn’t pull a George Zimmerman and pretend that the 13 year old child was the aggressor. John Spooner was just convicted of murder – but the court has yet to decide whether to send him to a mental facility instead of a prison. If they decide the man was “insane” he’ll go to a mental healthy facility instead of jail.
