A hate crime?

In utterly disgusting news, a Florida man expressed no remorse after being arrested July 30th for shooting a Black man in the head, saying to police “I only shot a N__er”.

Walton Henry Butler, 59, allegedly shot  32-year-old Everett Gant in the head, who visited his Port Saint Joe apartment to confront him about making racist comments to children in the apartment complex, according to the Broward Palm Beach New Times.

Broward reports,  Butler proceeded to eat dinner as Gant laid bleeding outside his door and cites an affidavit saying that Butler used the racial slur when questioned by the sheriff.

Butler is charged with attempted murder with a hate crime enhancement.

Bulter apparently called 911, and was confused during the time of his arrest.

“He was brought to the investigation unit where he was interviewed and basically admitted to shooting the victim and said he shot a, used a racial slur, and said that is what he shot and acted like it was not like a big deal or anything to him,” Gulf County Sheriff Joe Nugent told WJHG.

Gant is in stable condition at Bay Medical Center and is expected to survive. Butler is currently being held in Gulf County Jail.
