I think you know.
Felonies used to be crimes that could get the death penaty.

Nevermind how race affects sentancing now.

So you carried guns into HS games at 19? You think acts like that have no bearing on his character and the person he is?

[Shortstop7]

This story is from 2013. What exactly does it have to do with the fact that two guys chased this man down while he was out jogging?

I don't understand some of you people. We will have to wait for all of the facts in ths case to come in...but posting this old story is just pathetic, IMHO.

If he got a grip on the fellow’s shotgun, it does make a difference.

[nickcarraway]

The fact is, we now know the shooter knew this guy. He was most likely dead the moment they caught up with him.

Even if he ran away and was shot in the back, just as many people would be saying he was to blame.

You are an American Patriot the same way James Comey is an American Patriot.

[Red in Blue PA]

So he went jogging with a hammer? Who does that?

[Red in Blue PA]

It is one more fact, one piece of the puzzle which you supposedly want to solve.

Or is this fact too inconvenient for you?

[nickcarraway]

Well, I am glad you believe in the 2nd Amendment, but I am sure you must have learned, just because you carry a gun, doesn't mean you can shoot anyone who doesn't obey.

I'm sorry I upset you, but I don't think you are thinking clearly on this.

[Shortstop7]

Posting an old story from 7 years ago about this young man speaks to YOUR character, or more appropriately, your lack of it. Just stop.

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

I am in total agreement.

[Red in Blue PA]

Facts upset you apparently. Why would anyone take offense to facts?

[nickcarraway]

LOL. That is ridiculous.

I just don't think someone has the right to accost someone on the street and force them to follow orders. If you did this in Pennsylvania to a white man, you'd be in jail.

And this is eventually going to be proved to be laying-in-wait first degree murder. This person had a history with the victim. It wasn't a coincidence.

Hi I’m an old FReeper and definitely remember the Viking Kitties and the html sandbox

... along with a lot of other 8things. ,:)

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

Yes, and guess what? its silver.

[nickcarraway]

Yes, I do, because when I get tired I have to hammer myself forward.

Apparently, he should have brought more firepower.

[proud American in Canada]

Of course we will, but do you need to stop off to get some Smarties and some soda pop. Because he truly is a saint. ;)

[Red in Blue PA]

Son why was he carrying a hammer if he was jogging?

[Shortstop7]

Sadly, you are right.

[nickcarraway]

Just like Trayvon Martin, he was a big puffball, a big, funny and friendly guy.

Trayvon Martin was not a 14 year old, but he wasn't a gang member or have any history of violence either. I don't approve of Purple Drank or pot, but a lot of kids use it and that hardly makes them a violent thug either.

The facts are he still wasn't 14, but he was some violent predator either.
