Not me, sharing for the person though. >I am seeking help with my legal fees in association with my stand your ground self defense case which is a new law passed this year in Arkansas. I am hoping to raise the funds for my lawyer fees and debt from posting bail. I had to stand my ground to defend my wife and children and now we are facing this legal and financial hardship. Any help is appreciated. >What happened: While trying to make a quick stop at the local Walmart on the way home a black woman decided to run the stop sign while exiting the parking lot. The black woman got mad that my wife didn’t yield to her. So they followed us through the entire parking lot pulling up next to us so close that I couldn't get out of my car, then they moved their car behind us blocking us into our parking spot. I did not know it was the same people or that they had followed us until they got out and started screaming at us for over 10 minutes about how they were going to “ beat our white asses” and “ kill” us. I tried to explain to the black woman that she ran the sign and almost hit us. The black woman slapped my wife’s hands and started chest bumping my wife. My wife told the black woman to stop or she was going to get shot. The black woman responded by putting her hand into the shape of a gun, she pointed her hand-gun at my wife’s head and said, “I don’t care because I’ll shoot back, I'm going to get my gun.” Then proceeded to go to her car to look for her gun. At this point my wife called the cops, we reported the license plate number of the black woman’s car. There was now a mob of over 6-8 blacks surrounding us, including a white woman recording the “racist whites attacking the poor black woman” on her cell phone. We decided to get our daughters out of the car so we could flee into the store. As soon as my wife turned her back on the mob to get our daughters out of the van the enraged black woman moved to attack her again, charging between my wife and I, separating us on different sides of our van. I could no longer see my wife, all I could see was the mob of blacks separating us. It was at this point I could no longer deny the threat of death and physical violence these people were going to inflict on my wife, daughters, and myself. Fearing for our lives I pulled my EDC out and told the black woman to “back up” and “leave us alone.” >The blacks did not back up or retreat at all, instead they started screaming “gun hes got a gun” and trying to play the victim and encourage the mob to commit violence against us. My wife proceeded to get our daughters out of the car as quickly as possible so we could flee into the store. As soon as we reached the front of the store the police finally showed up, I waved them down and tried to explain what happened. The officers blamed me for what happened and accused me of trying to be the victim and that I should have walked away, they immediately arrested me and put me in the back of the police car without taking my statement. They never uploaded the woman’s cell phone footage or retrieved the Walmart security footage. The police only took statements from the black mob. The black women were high fiving each other and celebrating their victory of getting me arrested. No one was interested in hearing my side of what happened or taking our statements. While I was in jail there were others in there with lengthy criminal records that were given much lower bail for the same charge as me, I had a clean record and my bail was set three times higher than the black criminals I was being jailed with. >The prosecutor, after only reading the statement from the blacks, without seeing or even trying to get the video evidence, offered a deal of a misdemeanor charge, fine and wants me to pay court fees with a 12 month suspended sentence. The prosecutor still hasn’t reviewed any evidence, the officer still has not retrieved the video from the bystander or Walmart and my wife still hasn’t made an official statement. Luckily my dashcam got the black woman running the stop sign, following us, blocking us in and getting out to attack us. Then it turned off because of “parking mode”. This is how we learned they followed us after the fact. The bystander that recorded this event is a self-hating white, and has the perspective that I’m a racist and attacked poor innocent blacks so she is not willing to help us at all. We Still haven’t gotten any names of anyone involved or videos from the police, so my wife is unable to press charges against these people. >Everyday I wake up terrified to go out to do anything that involves leaving the house. I have no way to defend myself because they took my EDC and even if I had my EDC I am terrified of trying to defend myself or my family again. Thank you for your time and we greatly appreciate any help you can send our way.
