Raging White Man Mows Down Special-Needs Black Man Because He Spoke To His Girlfriend

A manhunt has been issued for Joshua Anderson who fatally hit 20-year-old Kevin Marshall with his car following an argument.

Authorities in Georgia are on the lookout for a man who intentionally ran over a developmentally challenged man following an argument on Thursday, July 4. Police have put out a BOLO for Joshua Anderson who killed 20-year-old Kevin Marshall in a fit of rage.

As per reports of the incident, the fight took place at a residence in Covington's North Lake Drive. Witness statement described a series of unfortunate events which unfolded after Anderson flew into a blind rage when he saw Marshall speaking with his girlfriend.

When a scuffle broke out between the two, partygoers managed to separate the two, and Marshall left the premises. But as the 20-year-old autistic man walked home, an enraged Anderson climbed into his Toyota pickup and rammed the vehicle into Marshall, who died on the spot.

Marshall's mother, Robbie Marshall, tells Atlanta Black Star that the way her son was killed bore a likeness to a hate crime. "That's hatred, to beat somebody and then run him over at that impact and keep going," she said. The heartbroken mom went on to describe her son as a 'sweet boy' who wasn't disrespectful towards anyone.

our conditions in prisons are deplorable. It is very dangerous especially the prison logic which are far different than societal norms such as in prison you have to exploit other prisoners that are perceived as "weak" or you will be considered "weak" yourself.

and then take his own life. The rest of his life is worthless at this point, anyway. Once he arrives on the cellblock, word about why he's there will spread, and the only defense he will have is to join a white supremacist gang. They don't need any more members.

...not the lesser charge of vehicular homicide where a drunk unintentionally kills someone while driving intoxicated.

police who 'feared for their lives' cause he 'reached for his waistband' ... even though he's basically already a known murderer, as opposed to a 'shoplifter' or 'hoodie-wearer'?

Godspeed, Mr. Marshall. What a DICK this guy is.

Niagara County Sheriff James R. Voutour said local law enforcement agencies had a tip that Anderson might try to enter Canada at the nearby Whirlpool Rapids Bridge. Anderson's girlfriend, who was traveling with him, also was present but was not charged, Voutour said.

Either his friends or his girlfriend turned him in. I'm not thinking girlfriend actually because she would've been arrested anyway for helping him. She either didn't know or never admitted to knowledge of it.

the rest of his life in prison. I hope enough attention is paid to this as he is captured, tried and convicted, that he doesn't get off with a light sentence. Horrible, just horrible.

Until he draws his last breath, he needs to be incarcerated.

I just hope the poor victim didn’t suffer. Maybe his passing was swift.

I am beyond disgusted at how someone loses all sense of humanity or decency. I’m not sure why this particular story makes me so sad, especially since there are so many terrible things that happen. But it has left me heartbroken for the young man and his family & friends.

Ohhhh, how exciting! How about a state-wide f'ing manhunt though?

"On the lookout"? Sounds like something out of Loony Tunes.

They were looking for him actively.

A “BOLO” is issued for wanted criminals, which means Be On the LookOut.” So that makes sense.

Obviously they were in contact with other law enforcement agencies.
