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
But what do you base that opinion on? The fact that someone who just shot and killed someone said it? As if he wouldn't say exactly that to try and justify his actions. 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.

ftr I don't think he was directly concluding anything about the victim's character even if it came off that way. He was only suggesting his perspective as a property owner.

I never once implied anything about race. I called him a thug. You interpreted that as a race thing.


I base that on, in this country, innocence until proven guilty. The criminal record of the dead guy helps support my opinion. Wouldn't you agree?
