Man, as a black Briton, I feel sorry for black folk in America. Not that I don't live in a racist country too, but it's like the whites out there just don't give a fukk anymore when it comes to killing black people.
It's one thing to be a typical racist redneck cac, but it's like every other day I'm reading stories of people shooting black folk as if they're hunting deer. I remember watching a movie with James Earl Jones when he played a pastor in Amerikkka's deep south back in the 50s and he spoke about a white dude who had to pay a fine for shooting a rabbit out of season, yet black folks were being lynched all day every day and nothing happens. He said something along the lines of, if you're a rabbit then you will get far more justice than a black person if you get shot dead because n*ggers are always in season. Powerful scene.
This is why back when Obama got elected, people like Frances Cress Welsing and Umar Johnson were saying you're gonna see racism from cacs explode on a level not seen since in over five decades.
It just seems like the mid to late 2000s have gone back to that era, difference being the technology.

I don't know all the facts yet, but I'm assuming she had a concussion and was disoriented after the accident. The autopsy showed that she was shot in the face, but imo, that doesn't relieve the homeowner of homicide/manslaughter/murder, and I don't know why the family said she was shot in the back of the head. I hate when misinformation is spread, even with a side I sympathize with, because ultimately it hurts the cause.
To be fair...if someone knocked on my door or was lurking around my house at 1:30am, I'm on high alert and calling the cops. This is a very stressful situation.
Plus its dark...parents have shot and killed their own kids for trying to sneak into a window thinking its an intruder.
I think its disgusting to kill someone if you are not in imminent danger, the self defense and SYG laws need to address this loop hole. But, I really don't see how he was wrong for defending his house. The shooter should have let the cops handle it, but he's not obligated.
I had my 14 year old cousin who was stranded, I told her to go to a gas station and have them call me & tell me where you at, I would have never told her to knock on a stranger's door.
We still don't know the facts of this case, so its not cut and dry. But if things happened the way it did, I don't see any crime was committed.

He just opened the door and shot her.
How is he not in jail?
To be honest, I doubt he gets convicted.
Her phone could've diedYo, im not trying to be that guy. But you telling me she didnt have a cell phone or nothing
I wouldn't even knock on my neighbors door at 2:30 for my car breaking down. She stereotyped that neighbor hood as being safe. Honky couldve been behind the door scoping just waiting for a reason, but he just might be within his rights.

If you're a person of color think twice before seeking help these days.
