the 7 11 survellience tapes do show a black man (not a boy) making a similar purchase.
The real question is what took him so long to get home. I don’t know about Stanford, but most 711’s are the place one goes to get one’s drugs....I used to meet all my druggie patients loitering around our “after hours convenience store” when I would pick up milk in the evening after work....presumably they weren’t there buying skittles.
And we keep getting told this was a “gated community”, as if it were full of 1 million dollar homes. No, it was a small community of houses. If it was a gated community, doesn’t that mean security patrols (paid for)?
As for the taking so long to get home. It would be a reasonable thing if he stopped along the way at a bus stop or stayed at the 7/11 while it was raining. Until it cleared up a little. Then again, if someone wants to walk at a slow pace, they can do that was well.
Would these “gated” communes have surv. cams?
