[quote=Anonymous]Sorry, somehow I clipped part of my message and posted an unedited version. I want to edit the scenario I posted because I think it is important. This is why this is a race issue. so here goes:

Let's paint another scenario. A "black guy" is following your white, 17 year old daughter, who is walking alone on a dark street, in a car. He gets out of the car and walks up to her, confronts her, starts questioning her like he is some kind of official, but he has no badge and is not in a police car. Your daughter begins to put up a fight, and begins to win the fight. The "black guy" shoots her dead.

Would the black guy be arrested? Should he? Or should the police just ASSUME it was self defense? I think we allll know the answer. He would have been arrested. Under any scenario, someone who confronts another person and ultimately shoots them should face a thorough investigation. But in reality, think about how silly the scenario above, would be. No policeman in his right mind would arrive on the scene, see a dead white girl and a black man with a gun, and just decide it was self defense, even if the black man said it went down exactly as it did. Even if there was a 911 phone call where the black guy called in and said the girl was suspicious. It just would not be believable.

But swap out the characters for our black teen victim and white male shooter, and then the bias is clear. Of COURSE the white guy was just defending himself, concluded the cops. The other guy was a SCARY BLACK TEEN! We all know what they are capable of, right?

So, even though some of you racist assholes may think that it's fair enough to be scared of black teenagers because of the actions of some of them, the law is a different story. It is not actually legal to just drive around taking black kids out, as much as many of the fucked up individuals in this country might like that.

So the criminal justice system is not ALLOWED to just assume "white dude vs. black teen - must have been self defense for the white guy" in that way.

WHERE is the arrest here? Why is there no more info on this? And for those of you defending this guy, be thankful. Maybe you will be reincarnated as a black man in your next life. Or perhaps more agonizing, a black mother of boys.

This thread is as depressing as the act of violence it discusses. [/quote]
