If people like Horn and Peairs -- who are white -- can shoot people they feel threatened by, why is it that John White, a Long Island, N.Y., man -- who is black -- gets a jail term for defending his home when he thought a mob was coming to harm his son,

Let's throw in a racism charge and ignore the fact that the NY law is very different from the TX law.

I remember that case and nobody on FR thought that White should have gone to jail. Most us though he deserved some major “Attaboys!”
Sending him to jail for defending his home and his children was a travesty typical of the liberal gun control laws of New York City.

Seems to me the racist angle is the fault of the perps. They should have robbed a black man's home. That way, if he'd shot them, it wouldn't have been racist.
