These
white
folks
truly
believe
that
they
are
judges,
juries,
and
executioners
who
have
been
ordained
by
society
to
mete
out
justice
in
the
streets.
According
to
Law
&
Crime,
in
May
2019,
Hannah
Payne
witnessed
an
accident
in
which
62-year-old
Kenneth
Herring
ran
a
red
light
and
made
a
collision
with
another
vehicle
in
Clayton
County,
GA.
After
staying
on
the
scene
of
the
accident
for
approximately
15-20
minutes,
Herring
left,
and
Payne
who
was
not
involved
in
the
crash,
thought
that
she
should
inject
herself
into
the
situation
on
some
Batgirl
s**t.
Despite
being
told
multiple
times
by
the
911
operator
NOT
to
engage
in
a
pursuit,
that’s
exactly
what
the
caucasian
“do-gooder”
did
under
the
guise
that
she
believed
Herring
was
intoxicated.
“He
is
drunk.
I’m
not,”
Payne
told
the
dispatcher
before
the
fatal
confrontation.
“I’m
sorry,
but
I’m
here
to
tell
you
I’m
not not going
to
follow
him
because
he
is
going
to
cause
an
accident.”
Law
&
Crime
reports
that
despite
Payne
believing
Herring
was
drunk,
a
witness
—
a
state
corrections
officer
with
medic
training
—
also
saw
the
crash
and
came
up
to
speak
to
Herring
and
suggested
that
he
was
having
a
medical
emergency
and
could
be
in
diabetic
shock.
“For
example,
Herring
was
disoriented,
displayed
red-orange
eyes,
and
had
walked
around
his
truck
several
times.”
Ultimately,
prosecutors
said
that
Payne’s
vigilante
pursuit
culminated
with
her
blocking
Herring’s
vehicle
with
her
car,
running
up
on
him
“very
aggressively”,
cursing
at
him,
punching
him,
pulling
out
her
gun,
and
threatening
to
shoot
him
TWICE
before
ultimately
pulling
the
trigger
and
taking
his
life.
Payne
was
subsequently
charged
with
murder
and
one
month
later
was
charged
with
several
other
felony
crimes
connected
to
the
killing.
Yesterday,
according
to
Fox
5
Atlanta,
a
jury
only
needed
2
hours
to
decide
on
Payne’s
fate.
They
found
her
guilty
of
every
single
charge
against
her
including,
felony
murder,
malice
murder,
aggravated
assault,
false
imprisonment,
and
three
charges
of
weapons
possession
during
a
crime.
Payne
wept
as
the
verdict
was
read.
Part
of
Payne’s
defense
was
that
somehow
Herring
shot
himself
with
her
gun
as
the
two
wrestled
in
traffic.
“I
pulled
it
out
and
immediately
started
trying
to
just
continue
to
push
against
the
door
with
it
—
like
push
it
away
from
him”
she
testified.
“He
grabbed
my
hand
with
the
gun
in
it.”
“As
he’s
pulling
it
is
when
it
—
the
trigger
went
off,”
she
added.
“After
it
went
off,
my
entire
body
kind
of
fell
backwards.”
That
premise
was
particularly
galling
and
offensive
to
the
family
of
the
deceased
and
they
made
their
feelings
clear
when
the
court
was
adjourned.
Via
WSBTV:
“When
I
heard
the
first
verdict
tears
started
rolling
down
my
face
because
at
that
moment
I
felt
relief,”
said
Herring’s
sister,
Jacqueline
Herring.
“I
think
it’s
selfish
to
blame
the
victim
when
you
were
the
aggressor,”
Herring’s
sister,
Vickie
Herring
explained
outside
court.
A
sentencing
hearing
will
be
held
on
Friday.
We
hope
the
judge
throws
a
Barnes
&
Noble
worth
of
books
at
this
killer
Karen.
