The exits of many homes (especially in the north) used to have two doors each: a standard, wooden one with locks and a cheap aluminum one on the exterior side with a screen, plastic, or thin glass windows and a simple locking latch.

Visitors were supposed to ring the bell and wait. The owner would open the main door to talk to the visitor through the second and only open it if desired.

That provided a civil barrier so people could talk to one another without exposing the home owner to the elements or a potential physical assault.

Maybe it wouldn’t matter these days. And there are door cameras and speakers and whatnot that do the same. But you don’t see those doors much anymore (I don’t) but I think such a door would help in situations like these.

Hey, at least this finally SEEMS to be a case of an innocent black victim.

Usually, they’re rioting to support thuggery. I always ask, tell me when they kill someone truly innocent.

Stop capitalizing black while minimizing white.

Absolutely correct !

Actually many of the screen doors have to be opened to reach the bell. OR to knock effectively.

Young black men: 3% of the population. 60% of the murder.

He’s right , just not how he meant it.
What percentage of the population is young black males ? 4% ? They commit 50% of the violent crimes
Have a potential criminal knocking on your door at night and the old guy jumped to the conclusion that he was being robbed , considering the situation he had a solid chance of being right.

MR MAYOR:

I am pretty sure you are not 84 or 85 years old.

IF YOU WERE in this elderly man’s shoes: Please Understand:

IT was 10 PM.

House lights were off & house was dark & man was already in bed.

(IF “so very intellectual young man had an ounce of awareness-—he would have wondered WHY location he was ‘supposed to get his siblings at’ was dark & no sign of anyone awake.)

ALSO-—How come kid ‘didn’t have phone with him? Today’s kids consider a cell phone a permanent IMPLANT.

He rang the bell—which obviously MUST have been on the outside of the glass storm door-—NOT the main house door.

Man inside is startled awake-—he grabs a gun—After all—IT IS KC,MO.
the
When he goes to door & sees TALL, YOUNG, ABLE man-—(DOESN’T MATTER WHAT COLOR) rattling/attempting to open glass storm door——he easily could have thought someone was trying to BREAK IN.

He SHOOTS-—SO WOULD ABOUT 99.9% of ANY of us under the same scenario.

Kansas City, MO is already on the TOP TEN list of criminal towns-—as “MAYOR” you surely should have known that.

This elderly man did what many would do even if they were 44-54-64.

Vilifying him for living where crime keeps the city in the Nation’s Top Ten isn’t the answer. HE probably has lived there LONGER than you, MR MAYOR, have been alive.

Work harder to clean up the city you wanted to be MAYOR for.

Release this man from custody & all charges.

Did the mayor explain why 13% of the population causes over 50% of the violent crime? Even Jesse Jackson said he crosses the street when a group of Youts are walking towards him.

Negroes don't want to admit is that they have a reputation problem. The crime statistics are clear. Young negroes have a high probability of committing crime. Negro elected officials have been clear. They don't want anything to do will stopping crime and often they encourage it. Negro culture is clear. Negroes in music and entertainment (I use those terms very loosely) do not portray themselves as civil. In fact, quite the opposite. The news is clear. Everyday negroes are burning, looting or murdering. Negro politicians are clear. They want to take from "whitey". Professional sports are clear. Negroes constantly act like thugs and are unsportsmanlike. Going to work is clear. Negroes advanced based on the color of their skin, and there is a constant undercurrent of "If I don't get my way, I'm going to sue whitey."

It really doesn't matter where you go or what you are doing. Negroes give themselves bad reputation. There are not enough well educated, hardworking, honest negro encounters to make up for the negative encounters.

There isn't going to be peace until there entire 12% of Americans that are negroes start acting like the majority of the population.
