Justin Barkley, a 38-year-old Ithaca man, is charged with second-degree murder for the shooting death of William Schumacher in a Wal-Mart parking lot
- During Barkley’s arraignment he claimed the person he killed was Trump, not Schumacher
- The judge refused to allow him to enter a guilty plea and said Barkley will now undergo psychiatric examination
Justin Barkley, 38, from Ithaca claimed he knew where the president-elect would be on December 8.
He told the judge he then waited outside of the store where he shot a man he believed to be the billionaire – however he actually fired at 52-year-old William Schumacher.
‘I shot and killed Donald Trump purposely, intentionally and very proudly,’ Barkley said during his arraignment on Monday, according to the Ithaca Voice.
As a former UPS man, I feel sorry for him and his family. I know how hard every one of them work.
I think the asshole that shot the UPS guy should be dragged behind a UPS truck 500 feet for every year the driver was employed at UPS.
Trump is going to have to be extra, extra careful with all these democrat nutbags running loose. We know their desire is to off him so they don’t lose their piece of the corruption pie.
Filthy bunch of evil losers.
Trump is often seen at a Walmart as are all billionaires
In all my years alive on this planet- this has been the
worst election ever, and I have seen many.
I think it’s been the worst reaction to an election because all the entrenched interests see their piece of the pie evaporating under a Trump presidency.
The temporary insanity plea should not be allowed.
If you do the crime, you get the punishment.
The death penalty may not deter crime, but it stops repeat crime.
Let him plead temporary insanity.
Then he can be sentenced under a “temporary” death penalty.
Then we can “rescind” the death penalty after the execution!
The death penalty will deter crime when it is not hidden away from the public, and is swift.
The guy has the same look about him as that Night Stalker serial killer.
Quite frankly the Leftist media shoulder quite a bit of the responsibility here. Their lies and vitriol has whipped up the hatred to levels like nothing I’ve ever seen before and brought out these Nut-Jobs in the process!
Ithaca. Why does that not surprise?
Ithaca is a cesspool of basement dwellers feeding off each others hatred and supported by the atmosphere of the colleges which sit atop the hills, above them in so many ways.
that bastard shot Santa Clause. Cuz the UPS man brings us our presents! (RIP brick and mortar)
Racism. The left hates white men.
Why does the left hate white men so much?
It’s simple Davy – – they kill raccoons and wear them as hats.
Second-degree murder?
Premeditated, planned, and executed with malice aforethought?
HTF can that be second-degree murder?
Take this clown out behind the barn and hang him – he’s already admitted his guilt.

More blood on Hillary’s hands for stirring the pot of hate and division.
I guess he missed the fake news story that Jodie Foster’s not really into dudes.
The Left has no problem with crime like this as long as the target is a conservative.
They are NOT our fellow Americans. Keep that in mind always.
I wish he would have shot the local UPS guy here who doesn’t bother to knock, and then leaves “Sorry I missed you” notes on the door when I’m home.
🙁
This is how Paranoid Schiz looks.
@Vietvet
Not sure what to think of the UPS guy that just left a package 10 minutes ago.
Drop and run. I only heard the drop. No knock.
Now, I’m weighing the risk of theft against the time it takes out of my day to go fetch the items…
Which would you prefer? They aren’t going to slow down and wait for interaction with the recipients. That would double their day.
Dementocrat. That’s what I’m calling them from now on. I pray fir Trump, Pence and their families every day.
Vietvet and Dadof4,
I must have the greatest UPS guy on Earth.
He honks, stops the truck, gets out and either knocks or presses the doorbell button, hands me my stuff, and once, while delivering a mattress, helped me carry it inside. Always friendly, though in a hurry – doesn’t stop to bullshit.

@Dadof4: I normally get the drop and run treatment myself, but this package required a signature, so it couldn’t be left. When I called to see if I could get it redelivered the same day, they said the driver was too busy, but I could pick it up later at their offices some thirty miles away(!). I asked them why I couldn’t get it at the UPS place here in town; they said that that facility was only for dropping off packages, not for holding delivery items.
I finally told them to reschedule it for the next day, but that I had a doctor’s appointment in the morning, so please make it an afternoon delivery. They said they would see that the driver got instructions to not attempt delivery before 1 P.M. Later, I got nervous and decided to ask someone to be here anyway, just in case. Good thing, too. The UPS guy showed up at 9 A.M.!
Seems to meet the standard for first degree murder. Planned to kill somebody, did it intentionally, admitted it..getting the wrong victim does not relieve or reduce guilt. See if he can run faster than a bullet.
