Asian store owner murders negro teenager over $1.00
Asian kills black kid.
Blog King, Mass Appeal
COLUMBIA — The only certain things in life are death, taxes and Asian proprietors shooting black kids. Residents of Columbia, South Carolina are in an uproar after gas station ⛽ owner Rick Chow was acquitted on Monday in the 2023 murder of 14-year-old Cyrus Carmack-Belton. The negro teen was Ctrl-Alt-Deleted after being wrongly suspected of shoplifting 4 bottles of water. Rick, a 61-year-old Hong Kong native, and his son chased Cyrus the length of a football field before shooting him in the back. Cyrus allegedly dropped a gun and Rick told police the youngster pointed it at his son — sparking a reaction. To add insult to fatality, Rick believed Cyrus’ life was worth less than a water bottle. Damn. After a Richland County jury read the verdict, you can hear Cyrus’ family wailing as Rick bowed his head into his hands. “This makes us feel as if our children don’t matter and they do,” family attorney Todd Rutherford told reporters. “This makes us feel like Cyrus’ life didn’t matter and it did.”
During closing arguments, defense attorney Sean Kent had the audacity to claim his client acted in self-defense. Ain’t that a bitch? “This case is not about a shoplifter,” Kent told jurors. “This case is about a father who sees a gun pointed at his son and had to make a decision.” Defense attorney Jack Swerling added, “My heart goes out to [Cyrus’ family], but a 14-year-old kid should not be roaming the streets of Columbia or South Carolina with a semiautomatic pistol loaded and ready to fire.”
Solicitor Byron E. Gipson told jurors Rick “chased a kid down [130 yards] and shot him in the back.”
How in the hell is that self-defense?
Not to mention Rick has a history of shooting at customers.
Social media reaction was venomous.
One commenter wrote, “Black people, stop going to their places of business. Get your fried rice, hair weave and fake nails somewhere else.”
Another chimed in with, “That same jury would have found a black defendant guilty under the same circumstances.”
A third person added, “F*ck the court system.”
Prior to the killing, Rick’s wife followed Cyrus around the store à la the nosy Chinese lady who yelled “Hurry up and buy!” in the 1996 comedy “Don’t Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood.”
Cyrus’ family held a prayer vigil ✝ outside Rick’s store where bereavers arranged a bunch of empty water bottles to spell out the kid’s name.
Watch Rick hunt Cyrus down, the verdict, testimonies and instant reaction.

Boycott All Asian Stores Now!!!

Nobody values our lives so stop paying them to kill us.
He should NEVER EVER be allowed to operate a business again where WE spend our dollars! WTFU people! Make it UNCOMFORTABLE, for him to do business in YOUR community!
Where s are the Democrats, CBC, and NAACP at?!!!! If the victim was an immigrant they would go nuts. Silence speaks volumes when politicians and organizations who say they represent you don’t care about your life and have shown this over and over again. Black America needs to wake up and start demanding things from these same people. We cannot even get an Anti-Black H@te Crime Bill but illegal immigrants are protected even from law enforcement in America. Now this immigrant gets acquitted for taking A Black life and its crickets. Where is Trump at?
We too busy boycotting Target instead of these Asian stores
When are we going to start taking justice into our on hands, stop killing our own and go after our enemies?
@BlackSheep: What the hell is wrong with you! That would be playing into their hands. Stop acting in your emotions!
The justice system is a complete joke. 😡
If you shoot a person who charges at you posing a threat its self defense but if the person retreats, runs and you chase him, its no longer self defense, its murder. This is BS, that kid ran away and was shot in the back, this was a kid, child, he was shot in the back. This is Bull Shit…
Not guilty? Fuck that! The father needs to handle it.
File a civil lawsuit against his ass and BOYCOTT THAT STORE!!! PUT HIM OUT OF BUSINESS!!! HE NEEDS TO MOVE HIS STORE TO HIS OWN DAMN COMMUNITY!!!
STOP SHOPPING IN THEIR STORES WE LOOK REAL STUPID
Put that sweet n sour muthafucka outta business
The asian george Zimmerman
It seems like Mr. Chow was waiting his whole life for that moment.
Stop spending $ in these folks stores
So the kid had money for a gun but not water? And what was he doing in the store with no money and a loaded hand gun anyways?
This was Rick Chows 3rd shooting for alleged petty theft
We need street justice ⚖️ 🙏
If you’re upset that Asian store owner Rick Chow was acquitted in the death of a 14-year-old black child, Cyrus Benton, don’t forget that Kamala Harris, Joe Biden, and Democrats rallied behind and passed the Anti-Asian Hate Crime Bill S. 937 during COVID.
They hate us because we were first and shall be last.
14 year old strap with 9mm Glock, hmm only a matter of time before this kid shoots and kill someone anyway, maybe what happened was a good thing, but still sad
@Daddy69: There’s no video evidence of a gun. It was probably planted. I dont trust the police in this matter.
Someone with a gun, robbing a store gets no sympathy from me. I want my communities to do better. We should be protesting at the parents house instead.
I’m glad Chow won.
Kids these days are way too unhinged and I think the justice system got this one right.
Stop robbing Asian stores and nobody will get shot. its that simple. RAISE YOUR KIDS BETTER.
I don’t think people understand he chased him for more than a NFL football field
Another dumb kid who lost his life, but his parents would say, “He was a good boy.”
Congratulations to the Chow man.
My father used to own a small grocery store. Calling the cops for shoplifting never worked — they usually came 4 to 5 hours after the call. He was so frustrated.
Many years ago, a Black woman stole a few dollars’ worth of items. He got into a fight with her right outside the store. About half an hour later, three Black guys came to the store and beat him up so badly that they cracked his skull. He never fully recovered from the injury and died a few years later.
Fighting with or chasing a thief is totally not worth it.
Damn so homie had a gun but ran…doesn’t seem like a threat, now an illegal immigrant chasing him down with son and shooting, thats the mothafuckin threat
It don’t make sense… running from a threat with a loaded fire arm? He would have turned around and unloaded. I think it was planted by the defense.
WHY CANT THE USUAL PEOPLE LEARN DICIPLINE THEN THEY CRY VICTIM WHEN ISH BITES THEIR 🍑 BLAME THE PARENTS. GIVE A KID A GUN. GIVE A KID NO MONEY. GIVE THEIR KID NO DICIPLINE. THEN PARENTS CRY LIKE THEY CARE??? 😂😂 COMEONNN
I bet that store is still open in a black community!🤦🏾♂️
It is sad that a 14 year old would have to die in this manner. But what’s important to address is, why do many 14 year old black boys have guns? And why is stealing so common in the culture or demographic? I say it’s the garbage music that’s perpetuated to the community and a lack of strong fathers in the family, and many do not realize it.
Working in retail they always tell you don’t chase any one out the store. Let alone over a bottle of water.
damn im conflicted
Business owners are tired of people stealing from them, and you wonder why all the stores in certain areas are boarded up???????
@Paul Howard: SO WHAT THATS A PART OF THE BUSINESS YOU WANNA PREVENT THEFT GET SECURITY !!! No where in LAW does it okay a business owner to chase down a supposed thief and shoot em dead ! NO WHERE !!!
He left the store ran away he’s no longer a threat. This is MURDER 😮.
Why did he run, if he didn’t do anything? Why did they kill a kid over a bottle of water? I don’t know what happened but to chase a kid down over $2 or less water is crazy.
This old chinese mothafucka killed a kid. Nigga too scared to confront a man.
I’m never one for violence but I hope street justice takes place since traditional justice doesn’t exist anymore.
THIS JUSTICE SYSTEM FUCKED, What happened to calling the police if he was stealing SMH
Why the hell is this man still free. He clearly has a dirty harry complex. The cops should have been called if he felt his sons life was in danger. I feel sorry for this community cause now all hell will break loose. This is what the world is coming to. People are getting too brazen with thier actions.
Over fuckin bottles of water 💧 that it looks like he put back. Shot in the back. I’m lucky and blessed that it’s not my son. The government gives foreign minorities loans for opportunities in business in Black neighborhoods.
This was absolutely a senseless killing of a young 14 yr old kid!
The video that’s been posted displays almost a hatred for the life of that child! The owner came from the back of the store with a Gun running after the kid for a bottle of water when the kid completely left the premises 😢
With the store being left Totally unattended as the father, son, and mother chased this kid with a bottle of water? WTF ? This isn’t China! Where’s the police, 911, insurance claims 🤔 Seems this was part of some sort of Planned Practiced drill.
In America in most states we can’t shoot a criminal who has even robbed our house and is outside the structure of the home. Leaving it as a police action.
Most businesses have policies of non Contact with criminals ,opting to use law enforcement use insurance companies to avoid the Risk of injury or life. My God my heart hurts for this family and this senseless unnecessary 💔 killing! The kid even followed the ladies instructions to remove his back pack , Dammit !! how bad a kid was this to be ran down and shot and killed over a bottle of water?
I have 2 things to ask. Where is the water bottle 🍶? If the 14yr old had stolen it it should have still been on him or near him somewhere on the scene. Secondly what did the jury look like? Are white people still putting all white juries when it comes to judging black people. This isn’t 1950 or the 60s. 👀🤬😤
He didn’t lose his life because of a water bottle, he lost his life because HE MADE THE CHOICE to commit a crime with a firearm and point that firearm at another person❗️
if that dumb ass wanted water so bad, why couldn’t he just turn on the faucet??? Because you know you are an idiot when you lose your life over 89 cents. bad decisions.
