Hate and Anger

I stopped Mrs. Baily as she was walking out of the chambers and told her that I have worked with the UNABOM task force as a composite artist, and told her that the man who was upset with Alex for using the N-word, and Supervisor Jones for removing him (the upset man, not Alex) from the meeting, has a record of misconduct. She quickly answered me saying that this upset man had pulled a gun on her daughter, but she said that she had forgiven him and wanted everything to be forgotten.
However, this person accusing Supervisor Jones, doesn't have the same forgiveness that he was granted to him by Mrs. Baily, and is trying to get Jones to give up his chair position.

Redding Police Conclude Battery Investigation
On May 5th, 2021, Redding Police were notified of a media report regarding a battery incident between 42-year-old Carlos Zapata of Palo Cedro and 32-year-old Nathaniel Pinkney of Redding. The incident occurred on the evening of May 4th in downtown Redding. After learning of the incident, Redding Police Detectives began an investigation into the allegations.
During the investigation, detectives spoke with witnesses and viewed video surveillance to determine what occurred. The investigation concluded that on May 4th, Carlos Zapata and his spouse arrived at a local restaurant around 7:40 P.M. and sat at the bar as patrons. Pinkney was working as a cook in the rear kitchen area.
Pinkney became aware that Zapata was in the restaurant and made contact with him from behind the bar. A verbal argument between Pinkney and Zapata ensued, during which time Zapata tossed a glass of liquid. The glass shattered, and liquid spilled on Pinkney. Zapata was asked to leave the restaurant, and he complied.
After Zapata left the restaurant, he was followed by Pinkney and a co-worker Kenneth Cornelius, 32 years of Redding, to another downtown business. Pinkney, Cornelius, and Zapata became involved in a second verbal argument at the other downtown business. Zapata was joined by two acquaintances who were customers at the location. They were later identified as 45-year-old Christopher Meagher of Redding and 40-year-old Elizabeth Bailey of Anderson.
This argument eventually carried on into a parking lot in downtown Redding.
During this verbal argument, it appears Bailey grabbed Pinkney’s shirt. Pinkney was able to pull away from the Baileys grasp and then was struck in the face with one punch from Meagher. Meagher was then hit with one punch from Cornelius. Meagher grabbed ahold of a large CO2 bottle from a local business and held it toward Pinkney and Cornelius in a threatening manner before placing it back down and leaving the area. There was no further physical contact between the involved parties. None of the involved parties sustained any significant injuries.
Following the assault, Pinkney went back into the business he was working at and armed himself with a handgun. It appeared this is a firearm owned and registered to Pinkney. After arming himself, Pinkney made statements he was going to shoot the other involved party but did not provide a specific name. Other employees were able to disarm Pinkney and calm him down.
This investigation has been submitted to the Shasta County District Attorney’s office for review. Any further questions will be referred to the Shasta County District Attorney’s office.
