Wow... I would not want to live in your world.

I'm happy to live in an place where different races and ethnic groups do not feel the first thing they need to do is a pull a gun, never mind, feel they need to own one. And I own a number, none of them handguns, which I use to target shoot and hunt.

I don't want or need one for "Self-defense". Never did, never will.

My post was simply giving an opinion on the woman's reaction and those defending her. Several have stated that they would do the same if a similar group of young teens knocked on their door.

Anyone who would tried to justify pulling a gun on 4 teenagers for no other reason than goofing around is sick-minded and of an evil mindset.

So then Asians should pull a gun on whites since whites have a higher murder rate than Asians.

I would like to hear said person's perspective on that. Is it going to remain fair across the board, or is it only going to apply to Blacks?

Do you not see the sickness in that mindset?

I was responding to someone who said “I wonder” it’s literally right there in my post, I quoted it. So I have my opinion. I can support it by a whole list of cases showing very similar circumstances I which the police shot the black person holding the gun even when they were the “good guy” unlike the woman in this case. Let’s start with this one, the shooting of Jemel Robeson.

I'm not defending the mindset. It exists. It is how many people think and will react. That mindset, no matter the sickness, is the reality in many more places than anyone cares to admit.
