Not much for self protection are you.

This wasn't self protection. It was murder. The shooter was a racist hot head who wanted to kill whitey and did. You defend him thinking this demonstrates your own moral worth. The truth is you have been duped into this attitude by evil leftists who are running circles around you and laughing at you behind you back.

You are clueless. A mob was going to injure or kill his son. The came to his home with intent to attack his son he defended him self and his family, he did the right thing. I you cannot see this as the right tihing then I hope a mob visits your home.

There is way more to this story than this article would have a reader believe.

That kid got shot for nothing. This guy ran out into his driveway with full intent to shoot somebody.

The prosecutor didn’t go after this case for NO reason. Mr. White had no reason to perceive any threat from those kids whatsoever. In the part of America where I live, you don’t just get to shoot and kill someone who’s coming to your house to talk. These kids were not even on White’s property as I recall.

So John White got a free murder. All because the girl who accused his son of threatening rape either lied about it to begin with or lied after when she recanted. But hey, SHE’S still alive.

The kid who got killed, well he was inebriated over the legal limit and it would seem that the bunch who were supposedly coming after White’s son maybe had a bit too much courage from liquid spirits.

These sorts of things happen all the time. More NORMAL folks don’t go brandishing guns and shooting people. One could make an argument that Mr. White perhaps a perfect right to carry his gun to confront the group coming after his son, but the young man he shot was UNARMED, on a public street, and not a danger to anyone.

Merry Christmas to John White.

Ah, showing the old school outer borough/Lawn Guyland tribalism here. Not happy that a black "interloper" shot a drunken Vinny are you?

I may not care for the racial rhetoric on both sides of this case, but Mr. White was justified despite what all the whimsy Vinnys and Paddies in LIdiot land may think.
