So, you’ll bend over backwards to defend three thugs that murdered a kid? Regardless of whether he was a regular runner, was a runner, or was only running away from the three neighborhood thugs, consider what is generally known: These three thugs were not police, not employed security, did not know the property owner they claim was burglarized, the property owner says there was no burglary, the thugs one with camera, the two others armed, maybe all three armed, chased the kid down in the truck and car. Once he could run no more, apparently they cornered him, three shots from a shotgun killed him. Three shots. Now, a couple months later the videographer got cold feet over the murder and released the video. Interesting that rednecks, all bent on killing black people, and there apologists are all over themselves to destroy the kid, defend the killers. I’ll wait for the trial which will likely conclude the kid wasn’t perfect and that he was murdered by local thugs. If convicted, I hope they are executed.
Those three thugs you allude to are law-abiding residents of a neighborhood that was victimized repeatedly by your so-called victim. One of these thugs spent 20 years in law enforcement serving his community. Your so-called victim was a burglar. He had no connection to this neighborhood. He had been observed repeatedly illegally entering this house. Guns were stolen out of vehicles, purses were stolen out of vehicles, tools are being stolen out of the back of trucks, and this homeowner previously said he had been burglarized and items had been taken out of his house. Of course now, after being threatened by your so-called victim’s rent-a-riot, that homeowner has soft-pedaled the extent that he was victimized. But it doesn’t matter what you or I think. What matters is the law . Did they break the law? And if you think following a legitimate criminal suspect in a truck while holding a camera is murder, you are on another planet. The McMichaels were trying to effectuate a citizen’s arrest upon an obvious criminal suspect. He was not a jogger. He was not hunted down. He was a crook who was trying to get away, and decided he didn’t want to go to prison to be with his brother. We don’t have a separate black standard of law, which allows black guys to commit crimes, and instigate violence, under a different set of rules. He decided to ambush a guy with a shotgun. He tried to take the shotgun away from the younger McMichael. In fact, the shotgun may have gone off all three times because he grabbed the barrel and pulled on it while McMichael had his finger on the trigger.
