[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is wrong with you all? Please stop trespassing on people's construction sites. It's just not appropriate, no matter what color your skin is.[/quote]

It's against the law for one. Someone bought that lot and was having their home built. Why would someone think they can go onto that property and inside the home? Framed or not.

That jogger wasn't admiring the structure fyi. Many look for expensive equipment, copper, or tools left behind. From all the videos I saw all 3 showed poor judgement. The two men should have called police instead of trying to confront him. I would think they will get some sort of judgement against them. Problematic may be the jogger charging the one man, and perhaps other factors. [/quote]

This.

But let's keep the bs going on, this was a jogger who was randomly targeted by some snipers...some folks are nuts.[/quote]
Does trespassing automatically earn you a death sentence in this country?[/quote]

NP. No, it shouldn’t. But let’s not all pretend that this was random and could happen to anyone. It couldn’t. He was snooping around someone’s private property (that was in a vulnerable state for theft) where he had no business being. When he was caught doing the wrong thing, he didn’t just apologize like a normal person, he acted even more guilty, running away even though he clearly wasn’t a regular jogger there (or probably anywhere due to his attire). When stopped, he defended himself very aggressively even though he knew he had just done something wrong and that people had a fair reason to be suspicious that he had taken something and/or was up to no good. Nobody was a hero here, but nobody was innocent either.

I’m a white woman, planning a house, and I’d love to snoop around sites to get an idea of how it works. But I don’t. You know why not? It’s illegal. And if I decided to do it anyway one day then I’d definitely be ready to explain myself afterwards.

There are some rare cases where a black guy gets shot when he’s innocent (like when the cop was in the wrong apartment) and they are completely unacceptable but most cases have a lot of poor judgement involved. This is one of the cases where it’s a lot more difficult for me to have sympathy for him.[/quote]
Wow! You’re actually defending people being shot in cold blood.[/quote]

No, I’m not. I’m saying that people need to use better judgement. If you commit crimes then you should be ready to calmly explain yourself rather than add more fuel to the fire by trying to flee or attack the people trying to apprehend you. And if a cop screams at you to stop reaching around in your car because he’s concerned that you might have a gun, then you should actually stop. Stuff like that. When there’s a lot of poor judgement, events become more like accidents than they would otherwise be.[/quote]
Yes you are defending this. Why? Are you a racist who automatically believes all POC are up to no good?[/quote]
