[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the victim were white, there’d be a go fund me by now. You guys are such hypocrites.[/quote]

You just have to bring race into everything?  If the victim was white and allegedly he had an ankle bracelet and was acting aggressively toward the shooter (lots of Wootton kids are saying he was planning to jump the shooter with friends), the sentiment would’ve been the same[/quote]

It wouldn't.

Kids get in fist fights at Wootton somewhat often.  [b]Under almost any circumstances, the community would rally behind a victim[/b] even if there was history between the victim and shooter that didn't involve a weapon.  What makes this different?

And people need to just stop talking about the ankle monitor.  It is unverified and actually makes very little sense.[/quote]

Victim's identity is not known.  How do you "rally" for him? [/quote]

Well for one, rallying entails not insinuating or outright saying that the victim deserved it, or had it coming.

Second, rallying entails a lot more empathy and concern for his health condition, possibly even a collection for medical bills or a gathering in support.

You don’t need his name to start any of that.

Apparently many people need to know next to nothing about him to smear his name.[/quote]
