in response to 9 yr old black girl selling candy door to door, homeowner posts his shooting fantasy

Tyler Chambers is coming under fire after posting a picture of a young Black girl who visited his home in the Tampa suburb of Riverview and captioned it, “You’re lucky we weren’t home to shoot your a— dumb b—.”






Before deactivating his account entirely, Chambers deleted his post and later stated his case, alleging the girl was acting as a “decoy” for an attempted break-in at his home without sharing evidence to support the accusation.

“I saw that on my camera and have a wife and 7-month-old at home, which I will protect as you would. I was hot when I posted it which is why I deleted it right away I could have handled it a lot different,” Chambers wrote, adding he wants to locate the girl’s parents to apologize.

In response, the child’s mother, Beyond Shabazz, later posted the circumstances surrounding her daughter’s visit to Chambers’ home.

Shabazz explained that her family lives in the same community as the Chambers. On April 14, her 9-year-old daughter, Sincere, and 11-year-old niece came home from school around 4 p.m. and then left to go sell candy around the neighborhood, which is what prompted the visit to the Chambers’ home.

After seeing Chambers’ post go viral, Shabazz said she filed a police report.

Shabazz said that Chambers reached out to authorities with the hopes of reaching her to have a conversation, but Shabazz is rejecting his attempts at contact, displeased by the vitriol and lies he spread on social media.

I find it amusing he had a LinkedIn page for a GM of a car wash.
The average salary of that position here in Illinois is under $36k per year.
Kind of a grandiose title for a position like that.

Technically, looks like he's part owner, though recent filings (this week) suggest that other owner has removed himself from the biz.

Doubt that landscape company is long for the world at this point.

I love how he realizes that he might get fired as well as get into other social trouble for this, so now it was an act of irrational anger and he wants to apologize to the family and 'have a discussion'.

Yeah, here is a discussion for you. You are a racist. You are a vile excuse for a human being and your feeble attempts at trying to save your neck from the piranha pool are pathetic and completely superficial.

Discuss.

26. In early 1960s Dallas,, our white neighbor was ANGRY black children played w/ my sisters
Fri Apr 18, 2025, 09:42 PM
12 hrs ago

In early 1960s,

In Dallas, a north Dallas neighborhood, house on Pinocchio

My 3 sisters, all my sisters were then younger than 11 years old,
They were always wanting to play with the grandkids of my parents
house keeper,

AND my sisters were constantly bugging my mom and housekeeper to have them come over and play all day in the summer.

WELL,,,, the neighbor next door came over unannounced,
Loudly knocking on our front door,,,,

My father answered, or was called to front door.

That neighbor then told my father….
‘You have gone too far now. I put up with your Kennedy signs and
your Democrat signs, BUT now you have black kids over in your yard…..
and….. ‘. (have no idea if he used N word or not, but likely yes)

My father cut him off and ‘TOLD HIM TO GET HIS ASS OFF OUR PROPERTY AND DONT YOU EVER COME BACK AGAIN’ (or something like that, likely Dad cussed him out too, but I don’t know,

(my father was a VP of a Fortune 500 company back then)

That white neighbor then did not like the chainlink fence that separates
the back yards, SO that white bigot neighbor put up a new wooden picket fence
6 feet tall,,,,, so he wouldn’t have to see my sisters playing in our yard,
and so he would not see black children playing.

I NEVER KNEW ALL THIS UNTIL YEARS AND YEARS LATER.

I now know why mom told us “to never ever play on the neighbors front yard”
“to never walk across , or cut across the neighbors yard, never to walk on
the snow on neighbors yard”, on the rare snow days in Dallas.

Racist pricks

This easter weekend, and he fantasizes about shooting a little 9 year old black girl. And who does he think is actually going to believe his stupid story? Decoy, my ass. I'm SO done with these people. YOu know what, WE have guns, too... and many of us can still aim and shoot 'em and we aren't afraid to do it. We may or may not hit you... our eyesight may not be so great lately.... but you're worse than some of the people we went to war to fight.

Wanna nazi? Accept the consequences!

I'm sorry, this just makes me SO mad... these people are all about protecting their precious children from anything and everything, and yet would should someone else's child. I'd bet he'd even shoot a white child if the kid did anything he considered "suspicious." This guy is just flat-out evil. I'm glad his and his family's name is out there. I hope he pays a price for this deed.

That's the cleanest word I could think of to use. He would have shot an innocent child standing on his porch? Big tough guy. Ignorant racist bastard. And such a command of the English language: "Your lucky we weren't home to shot your dumb ass bitch". TO A CHILD! Seems to me HE'S the dumb ass bitch.

I sold candy for Camp Fire Girls and cookies for Girl Scouts.
Some of the people were downright rude to me for disturbing their day, but no one threatened to shoot me or called me an ass or a dumb bitch.

This dude is a vicious racist ba$tard.

I hope he gets everything that he so richly deserves.

I flung the door open and barked WHAT! but then was very sorry because I startled a little Girl Scout - her dad was nearby and said OH we're so sorry and was going to usher her away when I said, "Well WAIT, what do you have there, COOKIES? If you're gonna wake me up at least have the decency to SELL ME SOME." I bought three boxes. Dad said, "Do I need to tell you you rock?" I winked at them and closed the door and started noshing away.

Yes INDEED

Glad to know that you bought some cookies. .

I hated going door to door, but my dad insisted that I had to, and further more that I should sell more boxes then any other kid in the group. I always appreciated it so much when someone bought a box. I had to go out after school, when it was still daylight out, and my parents didn't accompany me.
I'm so glad that nobody ever threatened to shoot me. We didn't have social media in those days, so at least I didn't have to read about how someone wanted to murder me for the 'terrible crime ' of coming on to their porch.

Jesus Christ calls his "FOLLOWERS" TO LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF. PERIOD.

MATTHEW 25 is pretty clear that some those "who claim to follow" Jesus, NEVER KNEW HIM. What you DO to the Least of These, You have done it to ME.

In our day and age, anyone can CLAIM to be "christian" but clearly it is not what you say. IT IS WHAT YOU DO. (Or say you will do.)

HINT - even SATAN can CLAIM he is a "christian" but you will know him by "his fruits" LIES, HATRED & DIVISION.

JESUS CHRIST is about LOVE, TRUTH, RESPECT, CARE, COMPASSION, and EQUAL TREATMENT OF ALL PEOPLE.

Mr. Chambers does NOT Follow Jesus, CLEARLY.

REPENT Mr. Chambers, REPENT, REPENT, REPENT... For the LOVE OF GOD, REPENT....

I also have had no solicitation signs on our door etc. since the pandemic. One sign says "STOP... even if you are vaccinated you must wear a mask". I printed them all out and had to redo them with permanent ink, one new metal "no solicitation" sign I purchased with a larger one that was garbage unfortunately. I stuck the smaller one on the front door too.
