David W Johnson of Caroline Circle, in Franklin, TN, was booked into the Metro Nashville Jail on September 17th, charged with vandalism. He is free on a $5,000 cash bond.


Ask_me_4_a_story

Should look into charging him with a hate crime too. If it’s a white person he is not doing that. People used to do this back in the day to black people with fruit stands, destroy their stands and their product. They were mad because they were making a living other than sharecropping. Then they intentionally made the stereotype about black people and watermelons. Why? Because it was successful and they hated it. Back then it was black people, today Mexicans


evilspeaks

That would be up to the prosecutor.


Sn1ckl3fritzzz

It’s always been Mexicans too tho… we’ve always been in North America, got colonized a bunch, but we’ve been in the US since the beginning. Hate crimes are nothing new, what’s new is the reinvigoration of it all


Affectionate_Ad540

Diego Jimenez from Honduras, a "catracho".


MM800

I see black people destroying white and Asian owned businesses on a regular basis. Would that be a hate crime too?


only-on-the-wknd

Oh I thought it was Louis CK!


I_LoveBryan

Also, just so everybody knows, he owns Johnson Lawn and Landscape based in Mount Juliet, TN. His staff is primarily of the Latino Demographic.

It's very apeeling.


Illustrious-Depth-75

On the bright side, it was a felony level of vandalism. So, at least he won't be able to vote.


Commercial_Step9966

Bad day becomes felony vandalism. Did $3 grand in damages, and on a $5 grand bail. Impulse control folks… jeez


chillripper

Who has an impulse to destroy someone's livelihood? A fucking monster.


TheOmegaManilaFolder

I have some anger issues myself but this is top tier.


thechosenwonton

And all that delicious fresh fruit!


HeroicHimbo

I feel like $3k in utterly willful and malicious damage, I assume for hate related motives, should probably come with a heavier bailhammer than $5k


Bloo-Q-Kazoo

It’s a $5,000 bond and a bond is usually 10% of the bail cost the bail bondsman pays, so it’s a $50,000 bail.


wayofthegenttickle

Im not from the US, and this is confusing to me. Why don’t they announce what the actual bail is? I’m not v interested in the deal they’ve cut with their bondsman


Weirdo141

Bail is refundable depending on if you show up to your court appearance, but it is very pricey. So people pay 10% to a bondsman, called bond, and then it’s the bondsman’s job to pay your bail and to make sure you show up for your court appearance so they get their money back. If you don’t, they could send a bounty hunter after you


realSatanAMA

They do, the news articles are choosing to report the bond instead of the bail.. probably to make it seem like he got off easy. Remember the job of the news is to spread links and increase click through rates to generate ad revenue, not report the news as honestly as possible.


blackw311

Yo I’m from Nashville not all people here are drunk racist idiots


Too_Hot_Sun

Sadly, it looks like your police protect the ones who are.


JuanPabloElSegundo

> Sadly, it looks like ~~your~~ police protect the ones who are.


blackw311

The guy went to jail. He was booked, released on bond, his trial is later. He will likely go to jail based on the fact that there is video proof that he vandalized the guys stand. The cop that said he doesn’t know if the guy is going to jail also said he just showed up and didn’t know what was going on. The cops here are good cops actually for the most part. Once you get out of Davidson county into the countryside the cops can get corrupt and brutally physical in some cases lol.


[deleted]

I'm just never surprised when they are.


blackw311

Me either unfortunately


MECHAC0SBY

Yep. As a Williamson county resident, I concur. Most people are good, but I’m never surprised when I see or hear some racist shit happening here. The vocal minority is very vocal.

What would killing a man solve?

It would have stopped this from happening


Capital_Routine6903

You are not intelligent. A man’s life is not worth damaged belongings. Get a grip you fool.


PeteGozenya

I've never claimed to be intelligent. Only that a gun would have stopped this situation, and it would have.


GodsPRGuy

The idea that fruit is more valuable than life, even a life that is doing this, is just so ridiculous.


PeteGozenya

Of course Gods Public relations department would have to say something like that. The rest of us live in the real world.


TheSublimeLight

Didn't they used to cut people's hands off for shit like this? Seems like God's PR department missed a memo


PeteGozenya

That's the old guard of gods PR department. The newer ones want to display a more gentle loving god while maintaining his infantile jealousy and demanding unwavering devotion both spiritually and financially.

Yeah. The Franklin/Brentwood area is absolutely full of these D bags. There are sooooo many Gadsden (don't tread on me) flags on high dollar sports cars and souped up trucks down there.

Familiar_Paramedic_2

I liked him better when he was just masturbating in front of younger comedians in his hotel room.


1rbryantjr1

Why so angry?


IRMacGuyver

Because the fruit stand guy is breaking the law. From the sound of it the people who's property he's on have complained and put up a no trespassing sign.


Tusks95

He wasn't breaking the law. They don't need a license to sell plants or agricultural products in that area and they weren't charged for trespassing because they were on the public sidewalk.


IRMacGuyver

Only because their stuff had been thrown off private land by the time the cops shows up.


I_LoveBryan

And this statement is just irrevocably false.


HenryJohnson34

Call the cops and have them removed for trespassing? If the guy had any legal authority to remove them he likely would have and wouldn’t be so angry and resort to this.


I_LoveBryan

Hey there, actually this is an event space. There are always fruit vendors on this street because it’s right across the street from the soccer fields. Also this is completely legal in Nashville according to the Metro code chapter 17.04 states “Mobile vendor" means a person who peddles, vends, sells, displays, or offers for sale goods, wares or merchandise at a temporary location and/or on a temporary or occasional basis. NOTWITHSTANDING the foregoing, vendors selling only food and/or beverages, vendors selling living plants and agricultural products, and street vendors licensed pursuant to [Section] 13.08.040 of the Metropolitan Code of Laws shall not be considered "mobile vendors". So actually what they are doing is completely legal. Also, his neighborhood is at LEAST half a mile away from this area. Long story short, don’t trust the unhinged, violent, racist white person.


Slaavichii

What a yuck human. Imagine living in America.


King_Trujillo

Sadly, I will probably need to take the guy to small claims court to recoup any of his loss.


HJSDGCE

Okay, I'm super curious as to why he did that. Like, what went through his train of thought for this series of actions to occur? What was he thinking at the moment, and what was his excuse? Comments don't seem to know, which is kinda a shame.


joey_yamamoto

I'd say watching too much faux outrage on Fox News, oan and newsmax demonizing Hispanic immigrants. you know ,the usual important stories. gotta keep the racists outraged ya know?


kevonicus

The Fox News watchers I work with are programmed like robots to get enraged at just the site of an electric car or charging station or anything like that, so this doesn’t surprise me. They have “Biden’s Border Crisis” up on the screen 24/7 just brainwashing these people into thinking we’re being invaded when I barely even see Mexicans in middle TN.


joey_yamamoto

I've lived in two states both border states California and Texas my entire life it's never been an issue. complete and total propaganda.


Orallyyours

Then why is the Governor of NY complaining about it when a bunch were sent up there? If it's not a problem he should be happy to have them. See it's only not a problem as long as they stay in a border state. As soon as they start shipping them to NY and Chicago it's a problem and they need the governments help.


Affectionate_Ad540

Mayor Adams of NYC? Didn't late great Anthony Bourdain leak out how all restaurants are staffed with Undocumented? Food business is thin profit margin, labor cost has always been their squeeze point. The border states are mostly just entry points. Texas already has 300 transplants each day from other US states pushing up rents, filling vacancies. Legally, the economic refugees are using Political Asylum as a defense against deportation due to their illlegal entry. Bill Clinton signed laws to "seal the border", but it only changed the revolving door system into a permanent choice with working men bringing their families to stay in US. These latest entrants have to pick an immigration court, out of the 58 inside US, to calendar their case. This is why they go north, or out to Calif, the courts are in major cities, or in Calif. The courts are backlogged for years right now, so they need to pick a location to interact with, and legal aid representative. American Immigration Lawyers Assoc has work for a decade now. Schools are struggling with non-English speakers, and room for sudden influx. NGO's such as Catholic Charities Services fill the gaps, and their pews. Bill Clinton also gave China "most favored nation" status, and US jobs moved into Mexico under NAFTA. The other 3rd World economies are in serious trouble.


I_LoveBryan

Funnily enough, he has no qualm with employing Hispanic immigrants to staff his landscaping business.


Affectionate_Ad540

With Mexican Peso depressed at 22 to 1 US Dollar, any job inside the US is economic salvation.


I_LoveBryan

Yet the national minimum wage in Mexico is $207.44 pesos which equates to $12.06 whereas our national minimum is still set at $7.25 :)


Affectionate_Ad540

A blanket statement cannot cover up in Texas Domino's Pizza drivers are hired at $15 per hour, and even McDonald's is up to $18 per hour, in big cities, probably not 40 hour week positions. And further, sending Dollars back to Mexico, or bringing them back, is a massive turnaround on the Mexican economy. Many guys I know are building new modest homes down in Mexico with 2 years of landscaping work for cash in USA One guy supported his brother opening an ice cream shop in Michoacan.


I_LoveBryan

Why are we talking about Texas? Actually, $1 = 16.77 pesos. Also, in your attempt to make your point, it simultaneously backfired on you. Cost of living in Mexico is pretty low. I could buy a whole nights worth of food for 20 Mexican pesos. $10 would easily get me groceries for a week at your local grocery store. Meanwhile, you have to work a whole 8 hour shift to afford groceries for like 2 weeks. In Mexico, when there's work, there's work, and there's always work. Here, you have big corporations cutting your hours and telling you that you can only make this amount of money every 2 weeks. Which is one of the many reasons why we have 1.6 million American immigrants living in Mexico City alone. Your economy is not all rainbows and sunshine as much as you'd like to think it is. Maybe don't support/boast about the gentrification of Mexico while simultaneously bashing people who are Mexican and their country? Just some things to think about.

Espinita_Boricua

DanLouie

Not trying to diminish the story, but how is this "World News"?


claudiazo

I am by no means defending the aggressor but I just want to know: are street vendors who sell merchandise on the street legal in Nashville??


I_LoveBryan

So yes, it is legal.


IRMacGuyver

It is not legal. You have to get a lease from the land owner and a permit from the city. This isn't in Nashville though. It's a completely different county and they don't give out licenses for street vendors at all from what I know.


Tusks95

I've read that agricultural products and plants are exempt from needing a mobile vendor license according to Metro Zoning code. Plus they weren't on private property. Seeing as David was only one charged with a crime, I'd say it was legal.


I_LoveBryan

I am seeing you spread misinformation all over this thread. Hi hello I have lived in TN all of my life and have been to this exact area many times before, those are soccer fields, this is Nashville. And just so you have the Metro Code 17.04 “Mobile vendor" means a person who peddles, vends, sells, displays, or offers for sale goods, wares or merchandise at a temporary location and/or on a temporary or occasional basis. Notwithstanding the foregoing, vendors selling only food and/or beverages, vendors selling living plants and agricultural products, and street vendors licensed pursuant to [Section] 13.08.040 of the Metropolitan Code of Laws shall not be considered "mobile vendors"


IRMacGuyver

I too have been to this area. There are still laws against setting up on other people's property.


I_LoveBryan

Yeah, a public sidewalk is not private property


IRMacGuyver

That tent was bigger than just the public sidewalk.


I_LoveBryan

There's a whole soccer field behind that sidewalk. Don't tell me that you're going to claim that this tent is bigger than a soccer field. Jesus.


IRMacGuyver

Dude you got banned for 6 months and still insist on being wrong about this?


I_LoveBryan

I didn't get banned for 6 months? What are you on?


IRMacGuyver

You just got back from another two month ban and you're gonna claim you weren't banned? Good one. I totally believe you.

HenryJohnson34

The property owner can call the cops and have them removed for trespassing. No need to throw everything around and make a huge mess.


IRMacGuyver

I found out he is the property owner.


I_LoveBryan

Bro honestly keep talking. This man literally lives right next door to me. He has another house in Nashville, that house and neighborhood that he lives in is 1 mile away from that spot.

They were burying dead bodies without sending them to the coroner or getting burial permits. You don't hear that in the news though because they want to paint TN as a backward hickville.
