    Barry Washington Jr.
    Feb 3 2023
    Barry Washington, Jr. was just 22 years old when he was shot and killed during a bar fight. Although his killer would argue that race had nothing to do with the shooting, the racial slurs his killer used shortly before shooting him, the characterization of Barry as a "big, angry Black man," and the fact that Barry was an unarmed Black man all speak to the contrary. This case highlights the racist undertones of Oregon and the modern lynchings of Black men - killed simply because of the color of their skin. This episode is dedicated to Barry Washington, Jr. and his family. ------------------- **Sources** A racist history shows why Oregon is still so white - OPB What defines a lynching - Medium When Black Men Meet White Communities - POLITICO APA Press Release Study: people see black men as larger and more threatening than similarly sized white men - Vox Jury reaches verdict for Ian Cranston murder trial Guilty on all charges except 2nd degree murder Jury deliberating in Cranston case Ian Cranston murder trial: Barry Washington asks for help in police body cam video Ian Cranston's friend Tyler Smith testifies on Day 3 of murder trial Ian Cranston testifies on Day 4 of murder trial: 'I didn't want him to die' Defense rests on Day 5 of Ian Cranston murder trial Cranston on trial Oregon defense attorney breaks down when it's legal to use deadly force | KATU Oregon self-defense laws explained - KTVZ What’s the Difference between a Hate or Bias Crime and a Bias Incident? - Oregon Department of Justice NAACP explains the ‘Angry Black Person’ bias | abc10.com Emmanuel Acho on the myth of the 'Angry Black Man' How Challenging Stereotypes Can Save Black Lives Hate Crimes — Basic Rights Oregon Nightclub Shooting in Downtown Bend Kills New Resident of Oregon Black Man Shot Dead in Oregon After Hitting on White Man's Girlfriend: DA Bay Area man's killing outside bar: 26-second gap highlighted Remembering Barry Washington | The Source Weekly - Bend, Oregon Ian Cranston sentenced to 10 years for death of Barry Washington Jr. Barry Washington Jr.’s shooter to be jailed until trial - OPB Judge denies release on bail Law & Crime Judge sentences Ian Cranston to 10 years in prison for Bend nightclub shooting Jury convicts Ian Cranston of manslaughter in Bend nightclub shooting Redmond man pleads not guilty in Barry Washington Jr. murder case - OPB Bend shooting suspect charged in killing of Barry Washington Jr. _____________________ MERCH INSTAGRAM TWITTER WEBSITE FACEBOOK https://linktr.ee/truecrimecatlawyer Learn more about your ad choices.
