Protesters Demand ‘Justice’ After 16-Year-Old Goes to Wrong Door, Gets Shot
Breitbart ^ | 04/18/2023 | AWR HAWKINS

Protesters in Kansas City, Missouri, are demanding “justice” after 16-year-old Ralph Yarl allegedly went to the wrong address to pick up his siblings Thursday night and was shot twice by the resident shortly after the doorbell rang.

The resident, 84-year-old Andrew Lester, claims he walked to the door and opened it after hearing the doorbell and saw Yarl pulling on the exterior door handle, KCTV 5 reported.

CNN noted that Lester told authorities he was “scared to death,” in part because of Yarl’s size. Lester fired at least two shots, hitting Yarl in the head and in the arm.

The democrats MUST keep blacks on the ideological plantation. Extreme agitation is the only way.

nearly 10,000 blacks are be killed by other blacks each year in the USA, and it doesn’t matter one bit. In fact, its covered up and ignored.

They don’t want justice. They want a lynching.

The shooter has been charged with two felonies. Justice is slow, sometimes. The “protesters” want a lynching.

According to a segment on Newsmax last night, a white is 42.3 times more likely to be shot by a black compared to the opposite.

“If this was white on white or black on black you could care less.”

They would care less, but no matter the races involved, it is outrageous. What we know so far tells us the guy opens his door and immediately blasts the guy who rang his doorbell in the head. It’s outrageous no matter the races.

Of course, you are right in that white-on-white would not be creating riots and calls for “justice.”

I am 100% confident that if a creepy white kid covered in facial piercings and tats had been at the door and done the same thing, the old guy would of shot them also.

This had nothing to do with race, but FEAR.

Why open the door at all? If it’s late, and you’re scared, it makes no sense to open the door.

Actually, they probably wouldn't care at all.

Bottom line, it’s a tragedy. The kid by all accounts seems like a good one going places. The old guy is probably half scared from the wave of black homicide, home invasions, and violent crime. Essentially the kid paid the price for that black crime wave.

If you take black crime out of US statistics we are on par with any peaceful Scandinavian country.

For every incident like this there a hundred “knockout game” incidents, but you never hear about those because shut up.

It’s no wonder the old man was paranoid after what blacks are doing to people all over the country
