The racial powder keg.

Blacks may also be starting to realize that many Latinos hold intensely negative stereotypes about them. In a 2006 study that ten academic researchers conducted of various racial groups’ attitudes in Durham, North Carolina, 59 percent of Latino immigrants said that few or no blacks were hardworking, and 57 percent said that few or no blacks could be trusted. By contrast, only 9 percent of whites said that blacks weren’t hardworking, and only 10 percent said that they couldn’t be trusted. Interestingly, the survey found that blacks were broadly well-disposed toward Hispanics, though how long that will be true remains to be seen.

A Franklin County sheriff’s deputy is out of a job after being charged with larceny.

Richard (Ricky) Bryan Shearin was accused of stealing guns from a Louisburg home on Aug. 18. He and other emergency workers were at the home of David Gillespie Sr. responding to a 911 call.

When they arrived, Gillespie’s body was found inside. He had died of natural causes.

Investigators said Shearin then stole two valuable pistols and an UZI 9mm submachine gun from the home. He returned the guns after a family member reported them missing.

Shearin was placed on administrative leave on Nov. 21 in response to the incident. He was fired Tuesday after being indicted on three counts of larceny of a firearm.

Last time I saw Ricky he was selling cars, though admittedly that was something like 20 years ago. I wonder–what paths brought him to his present location?

Franklin County Deputy Richard Bryan Shearin has been charged with three felony counts of larceny of firearms and has been fired from the department.

Shearin reportedly took the guns — among a collection of about two dozen — and put them in his patrol car, Green said.
