People here would not be trying to make excuses for the guy that shot him.

True. Not only that, but there would be outrage at the audacity of the homeowner to shoot at a student. There would also be mention of how the homeowner is fried because his own security video presents evidence that will be used against him. Finally, a couple of posters would state how, if it were their child, they would go to that homeowner and personally introduce him to 00 buckshot.

Let’s just say that while we are better than DU, there are nonetheless many similarities between the two forums. Key among those similarities is tacit hypocrisy ...for example, all the criticisms directed against President Trump (and President GW Bush to a lesser but still unfair degree) by the Libs were oddly absent during the terms of Obama and Sleazy Bill. Totally absent. Unfortunately the one-way mirror is not exclusive to Liberals...

There are a whole lot of things about this story that we just don’t know.

Based on how one fills in the blanks, one can justify anything from throwing the homeowner in jail for 20 years to calling in a napalm strike on the front yard.

This is a paint-by-number story. How a person reacts is based on that person’s bias and assumptions.

Since I don’t have a clue about any of the unknowns, and there is a zero percent possibility that anybody is going to play this straight, and nobody here is dead, I don’t think this is an important story on which to give an opinion.

‘Unfortunately the one-way mirror is not exclusive to Liberals...’

The problem here is there is absolutely no reason to identify the race of either party especially in the headline. Liberal journalist objective is to race bait, look at the comments here and at the article - objective achieved. If both parties were of the same race, no story. I am positive the way this went down was - mother calls media, media ask what color was shooter, white on black, fits desired goal, run story.
