Mr. White had as much right to defend himself and his family from this lynch mob as anyone else would.
Agreed, and until he chose to go outside and confront the mob and in so doing inflame and escalate the situation, the only thing that he needed 'defense' from was from drunken noise and trespassers.
He already had a shotgun in the house. He could have locked the door, called the police, and if the drunken kids tried to break his door down he could have blown them apart with his shotgun, and I would have been cheering for him.
Instead, he chose to go out to his garage to get a revolver, then to go outside and inflame the situation beyond what it was.
In a 'racial' situation like this, twenty police cars would probably have been there in moments of him making the call and diffused the situation because they are so very, very eager to avoid any hint of a 'racial' situation.
I have a massive gun collection and you'll be hard pressed to find a stronger supporter of the Second Amendment and the right of individuals to defend themselves with lethal force WHEN NECESSARY and within the context of established law than myself, but I have zero sympathy for people who act outside the law and needlessly inflame a situation.
The same people who elected Hillary, also elected a state government that decided to ignore his rights.
