@ajm5007 Yeah, makes perfect sense. She's never had a single complaint in her 26 year career, never a single accusation of racism, and now out of the blue is dying to kill a black man. Some people just don't get it.

Tina1924 Well if you know anything about heuristics, it's absolutely possible to make a mistake which happens outside of conscious awareness. I'm not saying she didn't also behave recklessly. But there have been other cases of mistaken gun-for-taser by police. This may be one of those cases that shows again how common sense is often wrong.

A grieving mom deserves a pass. That said, we have ample evidence of Wright's criminal past, which includes participating in a car jacking, shooting his friend in the head, and armed assault and attempted choking of a woman who's tearful testimony can be seen in a Fox video. The mother of Duante undoubtedly has either denied these charges, or forgiven him for committing them. What Potter did can't begin to compare to what Wright did. It's a double standard at best to give her son a pass and stick it to Potter big time. One day, with the passage of time, perhaps Wright's mother might realize that if she could forgive her son for behavior far more outrageous than this, she might have it in her to have some forgiveness for Potter too.

@ajm5007 "I'm willing to change my mind when confronted by rational argumentation..." Well I've given you some in my above quote on hunting accidents and heuristics.

@ajm5007 It's the 12 reply down, right between Hoodrich's and your reply to him.

@ajm5007 Well that is weird, but no surprise given Youtube's view of its users as basically animals, to be insulted, mocked and ignored at every turn. I'll post again and see if you get it this time.
