Officials: Man shot for joke he told 7 years ago

April 26, 2005

PHILADELPHIA -- A black man shot a white former co-worker to death on Easter, claiming he did it because he overheard the victim telling a racist joke seven years ago, authorities said Monday.

Stanford A. Douglas Jr., 29, was arrested Sunday after a two-hour standoff with police. He was charged with murder and jailed without bail.

Douglas allegedly shot William Berkeyheiser, 62, three times in the chest and shoulder on March 27 after he opened the door of his home.

Douglas told investigators he had thought about killing Berkeyheiser ever since he overheard Berkeyheiser tell a joke with racial overtones in 1998, Bucks County District Attorney Diane Gibbons said. Douglas refused to recount for detectives the joke that angered him, according to court papers. AP

I bet that the guy forgot all about that racist joke that he made when he was shot dead.

 

[imported_MAKaveli_10]

Racism sucks. It makes everyone feel bad. Damn that man must wish he never told that joke because now hes dead. Must have been a bad joke.

 

[TecK NeeX]

Must have been one hell of a joke, I wanna hear it

1998! Man, I'm thinking like in 1993-1994. Shit how time flies.

I don't agree. The guy didn't deserve to die. This nut sack took things too far. He could've talked to the guy and ask for any apology instead of being nuts with a gun.

 

[L.O.G.O.S.]

I tell racist jokes all the time, I like hearing them as well, theyre funny particularly because theyre so politically incorrect. If youre going to get your panties in a twist over it i couldnt really care less, learn to live a little and stop taking things so seriously. I dont care if theyre white jokes, black joes, asian jokes, arab jokes, theyre funny if you have a sense of humour. People can get on my case about it but id suggest you think of more important things to get angry about...

peace

 

[Silleone]

its like white people saying "nigga", the people you know might be kool with it but dont get mad when you get fucked up for sayin it infront of the wrong guy.

but the guy shouldnt have killed the man for it.

 

[tourniquet]

that joke must have not been very funny..

 

[The.Menace]

Must have been one hell of a joke, I wanna hear it

lol, quote.

 

[CalcuoCuchicheo]

I can respect that.

 

[not really ken]

^I can't. The joke, from what I have read, wasn't even directed to the black guy who is the murderer. Also, the guy recipricated (spelling) a reaction which was over and above to what he had experienced himself. that mentality is irrational

 

[Ay-G]

sigh...you dont kill a guy for a joke. I know it was a racist joke, but a few punches in the face would of been bettre and would of tought him more of a lesson. Cause now, he's just dead. If that black guy broke his cheak bone or something, then THAT would of been a lesson.

 

[Zero Cool]

He didn't kill him for the joke, if he had really took offense to it he would have taken action there and then. This is possibly one of the worst excuses for a murder I have ever heard.

now thats some crazy shit
