Article is kind of vague. States he wanted to take his mother, but then says he was with his girlfriend when shot. Nonetheless a sad reflection of what our culture has descended to.
Can I ask a stupid question?
Are we “prejudiced” against young black men, if experience shows that young black men are the perpetrators of disproportionate amounts of crime??
Rather than prejudicial judgement, wouldn’t it be simply observation and review of actual facts, which lead us to be suspicious of young black men, not a prejudice????
I grew up Los Angeles. Have been robbed with a knife twice, once at gunpoint, and carjacking once. Never by a white guy.
Isn’t St Louis where they threw snowballs at Santa Claus. /S
Sometimes I think that we would have far less of these crimes, if, most people had guns on them, and were trained in how to use them.

Perhaps another beer summit will work. Or maybe a CVS ad with the fists pumping in the air. If you haven’t seen that commercial, it’s a riot. No, really. A riot.
Hey, the car was black.
The local media also did not report that there were six other shootings late Saturday night, Sunday morning.
St. Louis City and County are on track for 300 homicides before the end of the calendar year.
For perspective, that population is about 1.4 million total.
A buddy of mine has worked nine shootings in the last four weeks.
In a town of 3000.
You better believe there is a Ferguson effect...
Has there been an arrest? Article doesn’t mention anything about that.
