I’m on John White’s side on this one.

If the crowd had tried to break into his house or had done anything other than simply make noise, I would be also.

...trial testimony that indicated that Mr. White fanned the gun menacingly at each teenager and that Daniel did not lunge, but rather defiantly slapped the gun away...

The man trespassed on Mr White's (rightfully defended, gun unregistered or not) property and then assaulted him. But the whole race-card BS just pisses me off.

Get the NY Time's take on this:

The trial’s racial overtones were obvious from the start, suggesting that the tension associated with the Deep South was alive in a New York suburb with good schools, high property values and privileged children.

The sick NY media and their obsession with their perception of racism.

I feel for Mr. White. His defense team led him down a losing path, the Race Card path, but, this was New York, where that crap is played up.

Forget that! You come onto my property and threaten me, you are dead. D-E-A-D! Mr. White should be pardoned and given a citation of valor.
