“Hanging Obama” truck makes way into Charlotte

CHARLOTTE, NC (WBTV) – A truck with a disturbing display has made its way into Charlotte for the Democratic National Convention.

The truck is hauling a trailer with eight mannequins hanging from ropes with nooses from a rafter.

The mannequins are all dressed as different people, including President Barack Obama, North Carolina Governor Bev Perdue and Senior Resident Superior Court Judge W. Douglas Parsons.

A WBTV web producer snapped a photo of the truck as it traveled up College Street near uptown Charlotte on Thursday afternoon, ahead of President Obama’s acceptance speech.

The truck is owned by a man who calls himself “Patriot Phipps” on YouTube.

He says the truck was made to bring attention to a murder case for William Henry Phipps, who was shot and killed while he was riding down the highway with his father.

“You say it’s racism. I say it’s not. Absolutely not,” he insisted in a YouTube video from May 2012 that explains the display. “Had we been hanging people in effigy when George Bush was president, I would have hung him, no problem. It wouldn’t have been a problem at all.”

Phipps says that he took the display to New York City, sans President Obama, two years ago and “people hardly remember, hundreds of thousands of pictures was taken then.”

He says they added the president to the display after a federal case into the murder investigation went nowhere.

“Wouldn’t it have been better for Timothy McVey to do this, than what he done?” he asked at one point in the video. “We have nothing else.”

Phipps says that people don’t understand how long and how hard they have fought before going to this extreme.

“We did not want to do this, ” he said, gesturing to the mannequin display. “Mister Barack Obama can get down, he can get his mannequin down any time he wants to, but it is a federal investigation we are after.”

He says the display isn’t a racist display.

“It is not our fault that Mister Barack Obama is President and he just happens to be black,” he said in the video. “We had nothing to do with it. That was God.”

He says be believes most people would do the same things in his situation.

A WBTV viewer also snapped a photo of the same truck on Wednesday after it was stopped by the Highway Patrol along Interstate 85 at Peeler Road near the Rowan, Cabarrus counties line.

According to the viewer, the truck had a sign reading “Obama on board. Dummies in nooses.”

Troopers told WBTV they stopped the vehicle for a vehicle equipment violation. The driver was issued a written warning and allowed to leave.

I just want to know what is going on now of days! Women wise up, this is not for all females but if what I have to say bun yuh….look into yourself my girl and do better. Ladies its 2012 it is not cute to be sitting around depending on a man for you to be able to pay a bill, do your hair, nails, eat food etc. Its one things for a man to treat you show he is investing into a relationship, but the end of the day you can hold your own and take of yourself. It is another thing when you, you haffi tek ill treatment, box down, and kick just to get some money at the end of the week. Then have the nerves to boost how, mi man ah mine mi, but yuh nah talk all the shit weh yuh go though to get certain things. More power to you! It feel so nice to punch a time clock and mek a honest living for myself, but it bothers me to know that some of these females have the nerve to bad mind a next women who works hard at a real job. I don’t understand, when I see people with their things I don’t bad mind them because I don’t know how hard they work for it. I might punch a time clock, pick up a extra shift a work; while you might have your mouth or pum pum pick up over time. At the end of the day, I can hold my head high while others pretend their happy on the outside but you can see their spirits are broken on the inside. You are worth more than that, honestly women to women don’t put your self in a position that if your relationship, or whatever it is mash up Yuh Dead fi hungry. Its not cute, not a wise decision at all. Women wise up!

A Harare man was caught at his love nest and bashed by his wife who was acting on a tip off on Saturday.

Million Chihwande, whose full name sounds so tailor-made, and is said to be a regular client was bashed and left unconscious by his wife Marjory Mugwagwa at Fintra Court.

Mugwagwa was tipped that her husband was spotted entering the flat in the company of a commercial sex worker identified only as Letty and she reacted quickly and caught him holed up at the love nest. The melee spilled to Harare Central police station where the couple was taken for counselling.

When our crew arrived at the scene, Million was unconscious and a group of prostitutes was trying to resuscitate him by pouring urine on him.

“Mukai Save, Chimukai kani, (vuka tshomi, vuka mani)” the Sexual Public Relations Officers (hookers) could be heard calling Million by his totem.

Mugwagwa has no regrets of bashing her husband and she was very livid.

“I can’t stand this anymore. Million is not smart enough to be my husband, he is not my match and I have kids to look after and I do not want to die of AIDS. I was told that he frequents this place demanding unprotected sex from these hookers and today he was hooked up by one prostitute called Letty. One of the hookers I bashed last time informed me about Million’s presence and I quickly came here and found him in the hooker’s arms. I do not want to see him at my house or even drive my car anymore. He did not bring his salary last month and now I know where he is misusing the money,” lamented Mugwagwa.

She also added that Million was spoiling thigh vendors with goodies and recently he bought soft drinks for his latest catch Letty. When Million woke up, he threatened to hang himself but was restrained by the hookers.

“It’s better for me to die because you are no longer interested in me,” Million said.

Meanwhile, the hooker who blew the whistle came under fire from her colleagues who accused her of taking away their business. In another interview on Sunday, Million confirmed quenching his sexual appetite with Letty before being bashed by Mugwagwa.

“Inotambika sha, (kuyatholakala mfo) it was just an unfortunate incident but I have asked for forgiveness from my wife and everything is now alright. I did not give the hookers my allocation of the soft drinks but I sold them to someone in Arcadia before visiting Fintra Court that is why I did not take them home,” said Million.

The man was also caught by his wife and bashed last year around the same time. Mugwagwa is a teacher stationed in Sunningdale while Million works at a leading beverages company.
