Is This the Next Trayvon? Ralph Yarl

No one should get shot just for ringing the wrong door bell or knocking on the wrong door.
What’s the odds that is what actually happened? No one is willing to ask that question just yet in the media.

Yarl was allegedly shot twice in the head after arriving at the wrong home address, attempting to pick up his younger siblings. The homeowner was taken to a police station to give a statement, however, he was released shortly thereafter. Yarl has survived those serious gunshot wounds and is currently in the hospital, recovering from his injuries.
quote:
”Once again, the state of Missouri has witnessed the shooting of an unarmed Black, male teenager, this time because he knocked on the wrong door while picking up his siblings. Instead of seeing Ralph Yarl as a person, the homeowner immediately saw him as a threat and responded by shooting an innocent child — a model student, responsible big brother, and son — in the head.
Ultimately, this tragic incident underscores why ‘shoot first, ask questions later’ policies like so-called ‘Stand Your Ground’ laws do far more harm than good. These laws breed a society of violence and fear while providing cover for those who harm, maim and kill others…”Rep. Terry said.

Too many details missing in their reporting.

Yeah, I get the feeling there is a huge piece that is being witheld. Was he shaking the doorknob? Walking in being a loudmouth?

This. Was he acting aggressive when he couldn't get in the door? Did he try to break in? The story makes it sound like he rang the doorbell politely and was blown away by the homeowner.

Bet Rep Terry doesn’t address the soaring crime stats and shootings by the AA community do to dissing somebody!

That’s just what white people do.

What a dumbass thing to say. They think not allowing people to protect their homes will decrease crime? That's an original thought.

No, Trayvon Martin was attempting to murder someone. It appears this guy was just shot.

This kid has a lot more glowing reviews of him and pictures looking like how he is described. I’m leaning towards this story being legit. It doesnt seem nearly as suspect as Trayvon did

I think there’s a higher likelihood that this is more of an unfortunate/accidental situation.
That doesn’t mean he was shot because the homeowner didn’t like the way he looked.

Yes I agree. I’m not arguing motive, but I’m saying the character part of the story seems to check out. I don’t think this kid was doing something sketchy. Defining intention of the shooter is another thing

Progs can, they can read minds.

I don’t think we know anything about what he was doing. All we have is a narrative.

I just don't see how any human aims a firearm at someone's head and pulls the trigger unless they legitimately fear threat to life or property.
Story makes no sense as the moment.

LINKI found another article that says it occurred at approximately 9:50 pm. That the homeowner opened the door and shot him, twice. The kid had to run to three separate houses before someone would help him.

Saw this in your link. Here's a way to turn your child into a prop:
"Lee Merritt, a nationally recognized civil rights activist lawyer, widely known for representing the family of Ahmaud Arbery has taken the case. Another well-known journalist and activist assisting with the case is Shaun King, who has shared this story on his social media platform."

This will be spun into a media circus in very short order. We got as much as the media wanted to release to fit a narrative. This homeowner is already guilty, facts or no facts.

Did he show up at the front door? And only the front door?
Did he bang on the door? Was he yelling at the door, even in a jovial manner?
Or are we to accept that he kindly tapped on the door and then the homeowner simply blasted away at him before Yarl said anything or moved?
