"I think this verdict sends the message that people are tired of the crime, they are saying stop the robbing, stop the stealing."

Wow! I thought the “He was reaching for something.” argument was reserved only for cops. This is a good day.

It’s getting where being a thief isn’t a safe way to make a living anymore.

Mississippi is NOT a place where you want to break the law. Period.

Gwendolyn Hawthorne said, "Everyone can go get a gun, it will be like the Wild West!" This mouth-breather needs to do some research. The "wild" west was a relatively demure locale with which to live. There were far more killings in the un-wild east. Even the most infamous shoot-out, the OK Corral, resulted in the deaths of 3 people.

Unarmed black perp steals beer & returns to car. Perp is chased, shot & killed by Indian store clerk. Indian acquitted by jury of eleven blacks and one white. No Indians on jury. Verdict praised by black president of city council. Am I dreaming?

Members of the Hawthorne family left the courtroom in disgust. James Hawthorne’s mother tells WLBT, the jury has allowed store owners to take the law into their own hands.
Gwendolyn Hawthorne said, “Everyone can go get a gun, it will be like the Wild West!”
The family reported that they would be out robbing convenience stores for the rest of the day. /sarcasm

Gwendolyn Hawthorne said, “Everyone can go get a gun, it will be like the Wild West!”Well, they did point out that the store clerk was Indian, so that's a good start! ;)

Which was a much safer place than inner cities today.
