Correct colour guy shoots wrong colour teen

There's nothing he could do. According to prosecutors, the victim was on the other side of a locked door, no words were exchanged, so the homeowner obviously had to shoot him... Twice.

You and suzi are certifiably insane, advising unarmed citizens to grab guns pointed at them if they should be unfortunate enough to be in that situation is going to get people killed. That's the message you're being given by the gun, don't move, don't try any stupid tricks, the needle is all the way in the red on the high risk gauge.

Internet tough guy.

Even without racism in the equation, there’s something seriously wrong in US society.

WTF???

Yes, but.

When you're speaking of a society in which racism is endemic and systemic, this sort of thing is far too common.

The shooter there was immediately charged with second degree murder.

@mott-the-hoople said
the shooter wasnt 84 yrs old either
but the victim not being black is your concern isnt it?

The timing of charges doesnt come into play either.

I keep hearing this BS about him shooting through the door.

Every account I read has him opening the door, speaking to the kid, then shooting him in the head, then, after he went down, he shot him again. Clearly intent to kill.

The shooter has been charged.

"As pressure mounted on Monday afternoon, the Police Department said in a statement that it had submitted the case file to the Clay County prosecuting attorney’s office. The prosecutor, Zachary Thompson, publicly identified Mr. Lester a few hours later and announced that he had been charged, saying what many already believed: “There was a racial component to the case.”"


Guess this is over then.

Hate crime law appears.to directly contradict stand your ground castle doctrine law.

In the one case, you should not discriminate.

In the other case, discrimination is required.

I don't get.it. someone smart please explain.

@Suzianne

Has anyone checked the 'interracial murders in the US' stats?

Edit: Here's one.

Wonder if he'll be going home from the hospital on Sunday to a $1000000 fund raising? Nope, probably not, he's dead.

Race vultures, race baiters, live by the stats, die by the stats
