Rev. Marvin Winans Identifies the Men Who Carjacked Him
Pastor Marvin Winans said that he knew he was getting into a “bad situation” when he was beaten and carjacked last month at a gas station. The pastor of the Perfecting Church in Detroit identified the three assailants who attacked him: Montoya Givens and Christopher Moorehead, both from Detroit, and Brian Young, 18, of Clinton Township.
The three men are being charged with carjacking, unarmed assault and conspiracy. Pastor Winans said that he became concerned when he walked into the CITGO and saw ”10 to 12 black young men in the gas station.”
Pastor Winans said that he thought about turning around, but then decided that ”I’m not going to be afraid of us.”
Winans says that as he left the station, four men came out behind him. One of them, Givens, told Winans that gas was spilling as he filled his tank. After he finished filling up the tank, the man hit him in the eye.
“At that point, all three of them began to pummel me, striking me and pulling me away from the truck,” Winans, 54 said. “And then, when they threw me to the ground they began to kick me.”
Winans said that the men then took his $20,000 watch, the keys to his car and $250 in cash. When he got up, his car was gone and the men had left. He suffered a broken finger and said that none of the men who attacked him was the one who drove off in his SUV.
The testimony was part of a preliminary examination of the trial to determine if the men are guilty of the crimes for which they’ve been accused.

Why would you ask if what they did was a crime? If they had beat you up and broke your finger, stole your watch,drove off in your car,what would you call that?????????????
Something is terribly wrong when a black man must be fearful when he sees a group of younger blacks mugging him. I have no compassion for the young men they should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. When my former wife became a sheriff’s deputy and she told me the horror stories of black men openly bragging about murders they committed I then became a proponent of the death penalty, some people don’t deserve to live. These men probably did not recognize the very famous Rev Winans, maybe since their deeds have come to light all will reconsider their life choices after of course they serve their time.
If you’ve ever been to Detroit lately, and visited the NE suburbs, you’d know why our young black men are “troublesome”…..
Besides Chicago and Cleveland, Detroit is the most SEGREGATED city in the mid-west!
Crime is a by-product of the environment being created or sustained…..let’s pray that race becomes less of a factor in the years to come and communities and state leaders learn to frame our social problems and then begin to fix them!!
thats too much b.s. to swallow!!!
Just because you believe it to be B.S. doesn’t mean that you are correct. Or even that you can disprove what “Motown Sound” is saying. The ghetto is something that was created and sustained by the forces of the dominant culture (white people and the white supremacist system). You need to read American Apartheid. You need to become familiar with the concept of redlining and block busting. These are terms used to describe a ghetto formulating system targeted at black people. A burgeoning black population is a threat to whites– period. It threatens the political power of these major cities, and the reactions where to create a forcefully contained area for blacks while depriving them from mortgages, small business loans, subjecting blacks to inferior education, job discrimination, and an array of other ills to numerous to list. Now you are seeing the by-product of this systematic neglect. My heart goes out to Rev Winan, I have to been a victim of getting my car shot up, burglary to my home, having 2 cars stolen, my lawn mower, and few other things living on the South Side of Chicago. The volatility of the ghetto makes it hard to sympathize because of the extreme acts of violence that occur from the people most affected by this oppressive situation. However, this violence must be put into its proper context in order to effectively solve the problems superimposed on our community. The crux of the matter (and this is irrefutable) is that the ghetto was created, and sustained as a political tool to protect the white power political structure—And this is extensively documented. So if your reactions aren’t in line with these facts, you’re just as much a part of the problem as these young misguided boys who robbed this man.
This is the reason many have adopted the moniker; “last one leaving Detroit, please turn out the lights”.
The black man don’t need the kkk to come and attack our black brother, we will do it for him, so we are lighting his dirty work that he done to our ancestors, because we are doing it to ourselves over and over every day all across America. Instead of standing together, we are destroying each other, so we are our own worsiest enemy and this makes absolutely no sense, so why destroy your own community like a fool as we have done in past riots, you are only hurting your own stupid goofy self. Grow up and be a man or woman and stop all this none sense. Remember, Nothing from Nothing leaves Nothing.
These kids don’t have a prayer b/c they have been bred to believe that the world is their oster to open at will and take whatever they want from whoever they want. This problem stems from too much permissiveness as youngsters from parents who are mostly absentee parents. I am talking about the substance abusing parents who have others (aunts, uncles, grandparents & other relatives) to depend on to take custodial care of their children while living the life of the carefree, yet sabotage the efforts of those “others” when they get the opportunity by whispering damaging messages to the kids about how society owes them something. In other words, it is bad parenting that has led us here. When are we going to demand that we as Black Americans must take more responsibility for the behavior of our children?
When I was a child, children under 18 years of age had to be in the house before dark during the summer unless out on vacation with parents.And even then kids never saw the darkness outside b/c they were already asleep. But just check out the condition of the cities of the north. You can see little children outside at 11:30 p.m. playing just like it is 11:30 a.m. But will you see them outside at 11:30 a.m. today or tomorrow? No. They are much too tired to get up that early due to the late hour that they went to bed. When will we wake up?
black self hate! is all this is an example of in addition to just plain ole ignorance of the law.
People, please stop excusing criminal behavior on upbringing. Many people have grown to be successful adults who had horrible parents and who lived in deploring areas. Once you turn the age of 12, you know right from wrong. People who commit crime, do it because they’ve made up their mind that they will not work hard for a decent living, or to get the thngs they want and need. Plain and simple.
If an upbringing were to blame for murder and robberies, why don’t these people with bad upbringing do other unspeakable things, like commit suicide, orharm themselves, if their life has been so horrible. They make these choices on their own. They are not lead to anything, they went there on their own.
I live in Detroit and his church took up a collection to replace the $40,000 that was stolen during his carjacking.
Does that make it alright??
His Church should have taken up a collection to have the boys put to 20,250 hours fof hard labor. Had them clean up the street of inner city Detroit. Feed them beet,carrot, onion, and snap pea soup with the juice of chicken and soe corn bread for two meals a day lots of water
