Jury finds Roderick Scott not guilty (A black man, Roderick Scott, indicted for the self-defense shooting and killing of a white teenager.)

A story with the same title was posted at the time as an excerpt. That excerpt's link doesn't work now.

My source has a video. My story's text doesn't have black or white when I searched the text twice. I read it iwice.

OK, so we're all even now?

When and where are the riots?

scuse me, while I go steal a 74 inch TV......

So he followed them, and confronted them, and one 17 year old man responded with violence (or tried to) and got shot.

Reminds me of someone.

What do you think is least likely to be shown by the main stream media: This story or a celebration of the life of Dick Cheney?

So I guess I need to make a “We are Christopher” sign and go stand by the side of the road with a “V for Vendetta” mask on.

Police say the “victim” was one of two youths who were breaking into cars at 03:30 am. Scott, a homeowner, armed himself and went outside and confronted them. One youths charged Scott and was shot dead.

That makes me mad. I think I will go and burn down my neighbors house.

If the point to this story is to compare it to the GZ case...fine.I’m too busy to research this case but I fully accept that there are circumstances where black people are justified in killing whites...”self defense” being the most obvious.White people,too,have been known to act in ways that a reasonable person...a reasonable person of *any* race...could see as acts representing a serious threat to their lives.And in such a situation deadly force can be used...used justifiably.

[Darren McCarty]

If it’s the same case I read about awhile back, I agree with the verdict. Not all that much different than Zimmerman’s case.

[Pining_4_TX]

Me, too! I am outraged... and I would like a new plasma TV.

[snarkytart]

And Scott wasn’t even attacked, an unarmed teen just ran toward him. Yet we won’t hear anything about this in the media beside local media.

[Conspiracy Guy]

Who and where are our white race baiters to go stir this up to a frenzy? We have been let down again.

[snarkytart]

Well, not really. Scott actually pulled his gun on three teens who were in the process of breaking into a neighbors car and when one of the teens lunged at him he shot twice. He wasn’t hit or knocked to the ground and head cracked open. Either way I think it was reasonable to shoot but I’m not sure about twice.

Best I recall the man should get a medal for neighborhood watch! It is rare when a thug teen gets what they bring upon themselves and the parent(s) iterate that the kid got what he was destined to get with the way he was going. Was a case not long ago where the Mother stated she was not surprised that her son was killed committing a crime ... rare indeed to hear that from a parent.

An armed society is a polite society don'tchaknow.
