Home Invasion - Domestic Terrorism - Ruthless Murder

 

 

Below are Some Details of the Killings


On January 1, 2006, the two Black males, Ricky Javon Gray, 28, and his nephew, Ray Joseph Dandridge, 28, ruthlessly slashed the throats of Kathryn and Bryan Harvey and their two daughters, Stella, 9, and Ruby, 4. Six days later, on Friday, January 6, these same two Black males killed Percyell Tucker, 55, his wife, Mary Baskerville Tucker, and her daughter, Ashley Baskerville, 21. The lead that led to the suspicion of Gray and Dandridge was that Ashley Baskerville had once dated one of them. Ashley Baskerville had recently gotten out of jail and was looking for work and taking classes, according to her aunts.

After the arrests, the investigation widened. Richmond police have also charged the duo with a home invasion in Chesterfield County, VA, in which there were no injuries.

A SWAT team arrested the duo in Philadelphia on Saturday, January 7, at the home of Dandridge's father, Ronald Wilson. They used pepper spray to subdue one of the men, who resisted arrest, according to Philadelphia police.

The men remained in custody Sunday in Philadelphia; an extradition hearing could be held as early as Monday.
 

All seven victims were found bound with tape in their homes, authorities said. The Harvey home was set on fire after the killings on New Year's Day, and the Tucker home was ransacked Friday in what police described as an apparent robbery. Robbery was given by police as the motive in both cases.

Although neither the police nor the news media has mentioned the race of the killers, a video is available at this website which shows the killers and Dandridge's father in a short interview. http://abclocal.go.com/wpvi/story?section=local&id=3791973  A photo of Ray Dandridge was available though the prisonpenpals.org website:

On Saturday, as detectives in two states were tracking down the suspects, more than 1,400 people packed into a Richmond theater to remember the victims.

Ricky Javon Gray, believed to be from Arlington, and Ray Joseph Dandridge, both 28, were both charged Saturday in Virginia with conspiracy to commit murder and auto theft, Richmond Police Chief Rodney Monroe said at a news conference Saturday night, publicly connecting the two crime scenes for the first time.

Dandridge had been released from James River Correctional Center in November after serving a 10-year term for robbery and use of a firearm, the Richmond Times-Dispatch reported.

His father, Ronald Wilson, said Dandridge had left his Philadelphia home on Christmas to visit his mother and Gray in Virginia and the two returned to Philadelphia Friday afternoon.

The two sets of vicious attacks in the span of a week cast a pall over Richmond, a city of about 200,000.

Bryan Harvey, 49, had been a fixture on the local rock music scene since the mid-'80s — most notably as guitarist and singer for the critically acclaimed duo House of Freaks, which released five albums on three labels from 1987 to 1995.

His wife, Kathryn Harvey, 39, was the half-sister of actor Steven Culp, who played Rex Van De Kamp on "Desperate Housewives." She co-owned World of Mirth, a quirky toy and novelty store in Carytown, a 12-block stretch of trendy boutiques, cafes and coffee shops just west of downtown.

The couple and their daughters, Stella, 9, and Ruby, 4, were found in their basement, bound with tape and with their throats cut, authorities said.

The Harveys had invited friends for a chili party on New Year's Day. Bandmate Johnny Hott, the first to arrive, entered the unlocked front door and was engulfed in smoke. He shouted for a neighbor to call 911, and authorities discovered a fire and the bodies in the basement.

Less than a week later, in another Richmond neighborhood, the bodies of Percyell Tucker, 55; his wife, Mary Baskerville Tucker, 47; and her 21-year-old daughter, Ashley Baskerville, were found Friday, also bound with duct tape.


Friends and family said Tucker, was a forklift operator, and Mary Baskerville, worked at a nearby cleaners, the Times-Dispatch reported.

A makeshift memorial of flowers and candles had built up in Kathryn Harvey's store during the week, along with condolences scrawled on a large poster and sealed letters addressed in children's handwriting to Stella and Ruby.

Comment:

 

In a spot-check of 620 reports posted on the Internet (Google News search) about the slaughter of these two families by two Black males, not a single one of the reports identified the perpetrators as Black males and only 4 of them carried photos or video of the perpetrators (see above). We find this to be absolutely irresponsible. We at this website believe that it is extremely important to identify the race of perpetrators of crime, be it robberies, rape, assault, or murder, so that the citizens of America can inform themselves about who is committing violent crimes. We need this information so that we can take the necessary precautions to protect ourselves. When judgment day comes, the media moguls will be put on trial for complicity to "domestic terrorism."

 

It is absolutely crucial that people be aware of the fact that Black males commit crime far out of proportion to their numbers. These statistics are so alarming that it is essential that everyone in America be on guard when they are in the presence of Black males or when they see Black male strangers approaching them. The people who control the establishment news media know the facts about Black crime and they are purposely withholding information from the public, because they want to keep the people uninformed. An uninformed public can be more easily controlled and manipulated. If we, the people, are going to be better informed, we cannot count on the news media to help us - we will have to do it ourselves. To that end I am posting the name of an author and his recent book about the extent of non-White crime in America.

 

**********************************************************************************

In order to inform yourself about the extent of Black crime in America, please go to the following website: http://www.amren.com/store/colorcrime.htm

Mr. Jared Taylor, the author of the book, "The Color of Crime," lists the following as some of his major findings about crime committed by non-Whites:

• Police and the justice system are not biased against minorities.

Crime Rates

• Blacks are seven times more likely than people of other races to commit murder, and eight times more likely to commit robbery.

• When blacks commit crimes of violence, they are nearly three times more likely than non-blacks to use a gun, and more than twice as likely to use a knife.

• Hispanics commit violent crimes at roughly three times the white rate, and Asians commit violent crimes at about one quarter the white rate.

• The single best indicator of violent crime levels in an area is the percentage of the population that is black and Hispanic.

Interracial Crime

• Of the nearly 770,000 violent interracial crimes committed every year involving blacks and whites, blacks commit 85 percent and whites commit 15 percent.

• Blacks commit more violent crime against whites than against blacks. Forty-five percent of their victims are white, 43 percent are black, and 10 percent are Hispanic. When whites commit violent crime, only three percent of their victims are black.

• Blacks are an estimated 39 times more likely to commit a violent crime against a white than vice versa, and 136 times more likely to commit robbery.

• Blacks are 2.25 times more likely to commit officially-designated hate crimes against whites than vice versa.

*************************************************************************************

 

When Ricky Gray and Ray Dandridge broke into the Harvey home, while the Harveys were at home, they committed a home invasion, and then they killed the Harvey family and slashed their throats which may well have been out of general hate for White people. The fact that they slashed their throats is a very strong indicator that this was a "hate crime." Gray and Dandridge have also been charged with a home invasion in Chesterfield County, VA, on January 3rd, during which no one was reported to have been injured, but the police in Chesterfield County, for some reason, are withholding the details of that crime. It is not known whether or not they committed a home invasion of the Tucker home - they may have killed Ashley Tucker out of jealously, and then killed Mary and Percyell Tucker in order not to leave any witnesses.

 

At any rate, a home invasion is an act of terror: when a criminal selects a home at random and enters it with a weapon with the intent of robbing the home-owners, this is an act of domestic terror. Furthermore, if the two had "cased out" the Harvey home, and ascertained that the homeowners were White, then this could also qualify this crime as a "hate crime." They could well have picked out the Harveys because they were White and lived in an upper-class neighborhood. If the home that they invaded in Chesterfield County was also owned by Whites, one would have to conclude that they selected White people for their home invasion/robberies, since they knew that these White people would have money.

 

As I stated above, another strong indicator that this was a "hate crime" is that the duo slashed the throats of the White victims, Kathryn and Bryan Harvey, and their two young daughters, Stella and Ruby. The police, for some unknown reason, did not say how they killed the Black family victims, but, one can bet, that if they had cut their throats, the police would have mentioned this. The lesson to be learned here is to be wary of Black males - they are much more aggressive than males of other races, and it would be in everyone's best interest to be very cautious when Black males are around. Remember: there are Black males all over the country, and, because of good roads and fast cars they have access to almost every community. Please stay alert to stay alive.


Yours Faithfully, Liberty
