People are either so afraid of strangers, or so high on whatever, that they shoot first and well, they just shoot first.
Says something about the mentality of the residents of Detroit.
It also says much about the way that communities see black people.
I'm not condoning the shooting....just doing what lefties do....looking at the root cause. Isn't that what lefties constantly do? Look for the roots of problems?
This is unfortunate, no question about it. But can someone tell me why non-blacks have to make their neighborhoods, businesses, streets etc safe for blacks and free from discrimination and profiling, while blacks aren't required to do the same?
If a black person gets shot in a non-black neighborhood 'This black person was racially profiled!! That's WRONG and it shouldn't happen. We need to stop being racist against blacks!'
If a white or non-black person gets shot in a black neighborhood 'Well what the hell was he doing in THAT neighborhood when its known to be a dangerous area?? Its sad that he got shot, but he should've known better than to pass through there'.
Can someone explain to me how this is fair? Hell I think most non-blacks would just settle for blacks not making NON-BLACK neighborhoods and streets dangerous, let alone making black neighborhoods safer. So please tell me why non-blacks have to bend over backwards to accomodate blacks while blacks won't bend AN INCH to reciprocate?
It says that she was shot in the back of the head.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation’s crime database reports Detroit had 386 murders last year, up from 344 in 2011 and essentially unchanged from 2000 – when the city had 200,000 more residents. The steady outflow of residents has driven Detroit’s murder rate up to 54.6 per 100,000, more than 10 times the national average and the highest in the country among large cities. Equally troubled Stockton, Calif., fifth on this year’s Most Dangerous list, has less than half the murder rate of Detroit.
Actually, it took place in Dearborn Heights, and she's from Detroit. Dearborn Heights is a sundown town. A sundown town is an area that is purposely all-white. It comes from signs that were allegedly posted stating that people of color (non-whites) had to leave the town by sundown.

Dearborn Heights: 86.1% White, 7.9% African American, 0.4% Native American, 1.7% Asian, 1.0% from other races, and 2.8% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 4.7% of the population.

Soooo, you are calling a town with 8% blacks a sundown town?
It's all white! 86%!
As someone trained in math, I can assure you that 86% is not "all".
Why are you trying so hard to malign an entire town and of course whites over the bad actions of a single individual?
You know, that's what racists do, point to the bad actions of 1 black and say "that's black culture" and garbage like that. How is what you are doing any different?
He shot her in the back of the head. That doesn't sound like self-defense. He should be charged for murder.
People are way too paranoid about strangers knocking on their door. I know it's not common these days but whatever happened to being neighborly? The media has really screwed people's minds up.

That wasn't my intention. Dearborn Heights is a majority white town. The site that I linked in the previous post considers Dearborn Heights to be a sundown town.
By pointing out the Dearborn Heights is a majority town, I was trying to point out that due to the lack of racial diversity.
There is a tendency for whites who grow up in an area with majority whites to be prejudice towards those of other races. This is true especially when they don't move to another area. The same goes for blacks, Hispanics, Asians, etc.
It's on several news sites but my explorer is going wacky and they are crashing so no link, you will have to google it yourself.
