It doesn't matter what any of us think. Only the jury. I tend to side with that of the homeowner and believe them when they say firearms were brandished and profanities hurled in threatening manner until proven otherwise. I side with MLK in regards to interpreting race. I find it very counter productive that those in this thread blaming racism and implying that I am, are doing so simply because the man killed was black and the shooter was white. Completely ignoring what the shooter said because of his race.

For the record, I haven't implied anything about you one way or the other itt regarding racism 
I'm black, and also a homeowner. My natural bias is toward the property owners in cases like these, but I try to stay objective instead of assuming anything one way or the other before more solid facts come out. Race doesn't sway me one way or the other, though.

I'm not claiming that didn't happen, but to say "I side with the homeowner" based purely on his accusations leads people to believe you saw "group of black men" and made your decision about what happened based on that. You can act like that's not your reasoning, but jumping to conclusions about the character of the victim doesn't help support that.

You keep mentioning context. The shooter has stated he didn't mean to shoot anyone, so there's nothing to correlate the actual person he shot with any of the accusations made, and yet you're doing it AND presenting it as fact.
