Bright lil kid goes to the wrong address (because he lives in a stupid city with stupid naming conventions) to pick up his lil brothers, and gets shot through a storm door by a crazy racist jackass. Mfer shoots him twice—once in the head, possibly after he's already on the ground—and leaves him for dead. Kid miraculously escapes death, and runs to seek help at nearby houses, only to be denied assistance by neighbours—until one relents and calls 911 after telling the kid to lie flat on the ground. He's initially in poor condition, but has now been discharged and is expected to make a full physical recovery (no idea whether his ability to play musical instruments has been affected). Cops release the crazy ol' racist because (they say) they need a statement from the kid before they can arrest him; he's skips town for his vacation home in another state.

Now there's a warrant out for his arrest, and authorities will hopefully be able to take him into custody before he harms himself or anyone else. The kid will (hopefully) be the beneficiary of a massive gofundme pot that's currently at $2.8m+ and perhaps some sort of justice will eventually be done (although I'd be surprised if the attacker does any real time). But it's striking what a primitive shithole country the US has become, where people—esp. non-white people—can't even breathe without risking murder at the hands of violent right-wing idjits among the public and even among the police. Also striking is the solidarity these murderous cretins find among their neighbours. Does anyone believe this is sustainable? A society where people get murdered for inadvertently taking the wrong turn? It's past time the halfwits who support this state of affairs were—at the very least—shamed right into the dirt.

Also: woman shot dead after turning into the wrong driveway while turning back around. Never even left the vehicle.

Gee I wonder why the media aired that story less often than the first one....

Thanks for proving once again that the only crimes you care about are those with a non-white perpetrator.

I guess imagining frying people who look like you isn't quite as exhilarating.

When your own family calls you a qanon racist it tends to add some fuel to the fire.

Because a minor picking up his sister is already more sensational?

Of course, it took you this long to comment because you've been trawling for reports you could use to claim the kid was a criminal, the way you do for every black male victim.

I wonder if Biden will speak with her family, 6 year old kid that's even more sensational. Why is the media not saying the suspect may have been racist and yet fall all over themselves to claim the 84 year old nutter is a racist?

What you seem to think is that your opponents being wrong makes you being right. But you can expend all your energy on exposing how CRT is mostly rubbish (and since it's mostly liberal Americans Americaning it actually is), but that doesn't hide the fact that you yourself are racist. And a pretty bad one for that matter too.

I believe everyone should be treated based on their actual actions with no weight to their racial or ethnic background. I've stood against racists on this very forum who want to use race in things like academic admissions. Get real.

Lewk's utopia: accidental trespass = death penalty.

No you don't, because you never do it. You behave differently the instant you find out someone is black. Your racism is the reason I had to finally start paying attention to background because I realized being blind to it was making me too credulous regarding your posting since you WEREN'T being blind even if you deluded yourself that you were, introducing a racial bias into my own behavior.

This pretty much sums it up for me.

And I came there while also thinking that most of the liberal Americans sound like they should get off their mind altering substances.
