War on Whites? At 11 p.m. on July 3, a 21-year old black man, Michael Joseph Fobbs Jr., was pacing angrily in and out of the San Antonio Amtrak Station, waiting for a train.
At one point, according to a crowd of witnesses and a surveillance videotape, Fobbs stopped in front of a white man who was quietly sitting on a bench just outside the station door, also waiting for a train, and sucker punched him in the head, and then hit him again, knocking him out. Fobbs, who is 6’3” and over 250 lbs., then reportedly said, “I feel like killing someone,” and beat his white victim to death.

Witnesses said that Fobbs calmly walked back into the station, took a clean shirt from his things, and changed his blood-drenched shirt in the bathroom.
Police said that Fobbs was abnormally detached and lacking in affect. He announced to them that he had hit his victim to protect himself, even though the victim had given no suggestion of violence.
News reports helpfully added that no one had heard the victim say anything that might have “provoked” Fobbs.
Michael Joseph Fobbs Jr. has been charged with murder.
