  1. @cwg9238  The home owner opened the door and shot him through the storm door. There is no evidence the boy was breaking in. Claims of racism are unfounded, but clearly the home owner overreacted.

  2. @egobrain6826  First off, we don't know if he was attempting to get in or not. Secondly, we DO know that the homeowner opened the door, gun in hand, to this supposed extreme danger, and that there was yet another door between the boy and the homeowner. And no, you can't shoot someone in the head to prevent a burglary. From an ethical perspective, dealdly force can only be used in self defense. And for the record, the most like scenario was that this old man sits around watching Fox News, grabbed his gun at the slightest provocation and freaked out when he saw this poor black kid at his door. But since that is utter speculation, it is just as meaningless as yours.

  3.  @egobrain6826  A lack of evidence is not evidence. I didn't say it was racially motivated, I said that there was no solid indication either way.

  4. Sean, you may complain about the MSM promoting a non-representative incident to support an untrue narrative. But you cannot assert, with zero evidence, that race was not a factor in this shooting anymore than race baiters can assert it was. The reality is that we don't and may never know. It seems to me like you are kind of doubling down on your position because you misreported the details. And the clickbait title was absolutely cringe. I'm a huge fan. I know reacting in real time is difficult. Pardon the bluntness of my critique.

  5. @egobrain6826  Correct. But AJW's claim that this was NOT racially motivated is unverifiable.

  6. @egobrain6826  The home owner opened the door to a stranger and shot an unarmed boy in the head. This is manslaughter at minimum.

  7. @egobrain6826  Repeating your speculations over and over is not going to make them true. If you are in fear of your life, you don't open the fucking door. This idiot freaked out and shot a harmless boy in the head. The fact that he feels bad about it is inconsequential. You're almost as bad as the cavalcade of imbeciles in the comments responding with the horrific instances of black home invaders as if it justifies the shooting. Or talking about "The Jews."

  8.  @asterixandobelix195  If the door was locked, that's even worse.
