I haven't seen anyone defending the man with the firearm. did i miss something?
What other purpose could there be for putting the blame on the kid? He should have used Google, he was scoping the house for a burglary, he should have known his way...
It's just "What did she expect being dressed that way?" in different wording.
For anyone asking the question "what kid doesn't know how to get to his own school", you are asking the wrong question. Not knowing how to get to his school has nothing to do with him getting shot. Asking such a question is just a sly way of trying to justify him getting shot. I don't care that he didn't know how to get to his school. That doesn't matter to me. What matters is that he got shot and why he got shot. If he got shot because he was a Black kid asking for directions, then we have a racially motivated shooting. The person who committed the murder should up punished severely. Period.
BINGO!
While the kid did not actually get shot; it apparently wasn't for lack of the perp's trying and failing due to his ineptitude (thankfully he's probably stupid as well as racist) and poor judgement.
All of this questioning of the circumstances beyond the facts presented so far is just pap for the like-minded fear ridden who'd probably justify the whole incident as an "accident" or "misunderstanding" if not actually "deserved".
The sad thing is; this kid may have been brought up so far to believe in everyone's good intentions outweighing their bad. That's gonna be a hard sell now.

No it's not.
The man was wrong and I'm nearly positive it was race-related.
I didn't find out til later that mom took his phone away for whatever reason.
It's the exact same thing Uncle Crazy Joe Biden mentioned a few years back.
You don't need an AR15 Jill, just grab a double barreled shot gun, grab your shells, and let off 2 blasts...
It's not like that's a negligent discharge. We live in a rural area. It's perfectly normal to shoot indiscriminately in the dark... not like you're going to hit another house or person...
He advocated this behavior. Just let off 2 blasts... scare them off...
no one called his credibility into question. so of course i don't know that
You missed the particularly vile post #11, then?
