This is so heartbreaking. A young, saxophone playing black teen was doing his mom a favor by picking up his siblings. He knocks on the wrong door (think Street instead of Terrace), and is shot by the home owner. White homeowner then shoots him again.
This is ridiculous. |

| America has never been more racist than it is right now. |

This was exactly the point of flooding this country with guns under the guise of “freedom”
Flooding a country with so many guns creates this kind of chaos, paranoia, and terror that inevitably leads to a power vacuum to be filled by the worst types of individuals and groups. |

| The shooter needs to be charged with attempted murder and a hate crime. |

| This is terrible. What is wrong with people? If a stranger knocks on your door why not just keep it closed and tell them to leave? We do that at my house. We don’t open the door and just shoot someone. |

| Op here, this happened in Detroit to a young woman a few years ago. |

| I saw this story this morning. WTF is wrong with people? I feel terrible for him and hope he recovers. The man that did this should be in jail and treated as a total pariah. |

As a Black mom to Black sons, I just…can’t anymore.
I guess now we’ll all have to debate how aggressively the band nerd rang the doorbell. Guess I’ll add to PLEASE make sure they are at the right house to “the list”. |

| I nearly vomited when reading this. The photos of this young man and his younger twin brothers. OMG. Anyone who feels the need to answer the door with your hand on the trigger should just keep their fat white ass in the recliner. Sick. They need to arrest and prosecute immediately! |

| I hope they get charged with murder and hate crime, and are sentenced to lifetime in jail. Plaster their evil face is all over the Internet, so everybody knows who they are. Disgusting. Pos. |
