Better yet, I remember with some ambivalence my adolescence. I lived in a neighborhood that was about 90% White. I got shot with a paintball gun, was nearly thrown off my bicycle, and a few kids threw rocks at me. All of those incidents took place at the hands of White kids. Want to blame diversity on that?

The obvious question to me, is whether the victim should be legally allowed to shoot as many of these assailants as possible?

Yes would be my answer.

I told him he was being played by the news trying to get him all wooped up against liberals. He looks like the victim so he identified with the victim. Criminals beat up innocent people every day. It's not enough to only get outraged when the victim looks like you.

Your comment doesn't say much about your husband's character. A normal person would be outraged regardless of what the victim looks like.

As for you, 47 robberies of cellphones in three weeks by a crime ring is not a typical 'criminal beating innocent people.' It's certainly possible the crime ring includes whites, Asians, Hispanics, and some victims were black. We don't know from the article. To find out I'd probably have to search for websites I don't go to.

Considering he's obviously intoxicated, would you want him shooting into a crowd if you were in the area with your family?

Racism isn't that important though, when compared to life and good health.

If my family was in the area, this wouldn't be happening.
