The timeline the detective laid out to her was also wild. Unless I misunderstood:

She called initially to report the kids and they said they were sending a detective and she stayed on the phone for like 5 minutes talking to the dispatch. During that time, no one was banging on her door or anything. Then she hung up. Two minutes later, she called 911 to report shooting someone.

Two minutes.... so even assuming that the dead lady immediately came and started beating on her door as soon as she hung up with dispatch the first time, that puts probably 1:30 worth of the lady beating on her door for her to decide to get her gun and shoot throught the door. That's pretty damning.

My problem with it is that Netflix would NEVER show a documentary where the vile neighbor was black and the victims of her atrocities were white.

That means it's propaganda and I don't support propaganda.

That's 99.9% of Netflix.

It's a true story told solely through dash cam/interrogation videos. It's an interesting story that has virtually no propaganda feel until the credits start and they give some statistic about more black people are killed by stand your ground laws than white.

But this isn't even going against stand your ground laws. It's just a crazy story about a crazy lady.

Maybe if there was a story about a nut job black neighbor that killed a white lady someone would tell it, but this feels like a very 1/1 instance, especially unique given they were able to tell the whole thing based on body cam footage.

I didn’t feel like it was propaganda ( it was predictable low key racial agitprop) until near the end where it became like getting hit with a sock full of leaden Progressive bumper sticker slogan level preachiness.

Of course they ignore the ratio of white on black vs black on white homicides and then when you factor in per capita their whole agenda falls apart


Well considering this is not what the documentary was about....

She literally called 911 minutes before and they had dispatch on the way. At no point did the neighbor go through the door and enter. Also they straight up asked her if she even saw who she was shooting at and she said no. Never mentioned potentially seeing a weapon or anything. She could have easily shot a kid who wasnt even on her property.

Im sorry, but I dont consider that imminent danger when you are the one hidden inside with a gun. Mind you a gun that she admitted took her minutes to go find AFTER she allegedly couldnt find her phone.

Well then you're an idiot. Her opinion of "imminent danger" was wrong, and it's why she's in jail where she belongs.

First of all, it's a woman banging on the door. Women aren't known for beating people to death. Had it been a 6'2" in shape man, that's a different story, and even still, unless they are physically trying to knock the door down it's beyond stupid to shoot blindly through the door. This wasn't a door with a window on it, so she had no idea what was on the other side of the door. The mom could have been standing there with kids.

The only time you should be shooting through your door is if you know the person on the other side has a weapon, and they are physically trying to get into your house.
You call the cops and wait for them to get there, which she did, and if the person breaks through your locked door, regardless if they have a weapon or not, then by all means blast them the second the door opens. You don't even need to record anything b/c if they physically break a locked door down, there will be visible signs of that and you'd be justified in shooting them the second that door comes down.

Got the link to the interesting story or was it just a straight forward murder? Did the black person have an ongoing fued with the person they shot? Did they catch the entire footage and enough to do a documentary just on dash cam alone?

FFS man just cancel your Netflix if you’re just going to constantly bitch about race. Yes, it’s a white woman killing a black woman, who the hell cares, it was an interesting and unique documentary. I’m sorry it wasn’t a black person getting killed so you could enjoy it.

It's kind of sad actually that we've gotten to a point where a black on white "straight forward murder" is so common that it just isn't worthy of a Netflix documentary.

The story has to be interesting, regardless of the race. Dateline has episodes all the time of a black person killing a white person, but there is a mystery involved. Or there is good detective work required to find the killer.

No, not every murder is worthy of a documentary or else you'd have a lot of 5 minute documentaries where the overall story is "POS shoots person for no reason and is arrested the next day."

And what's the difference between that and the story we're discussing in this thread exactly?

You know what would be really interesting? A documentary that dives into the real reason those stand your ground statistics have increased the homicide rates.

Are you serious? Did you not realize that the entire documentary was shown off actual body cam footage? They story was told in a very untraditional way and was a pretty rare instance where you could get all the info, cops interviews with neighbors, months worth of interactions with the killer and the victim all on dashcam.

A random guy drives by and shoots up city block and kills a random person is not documentary worthy, I'm sorry. That's a news report. Yes, one person dies in each instance so they are equally as tragic, one death does not mean more than the other, but one of them has a story to tell and documentation to tell it, the other doesn't.

If you can't tell the difference I don't know what to tell you.

I'm sure it would be. I'd probably watch.

It is still capable of being highly selective with what footage they wanted to show and what they didn't want to show. You have to be aware of that.

Of course. And it's Netflix so i know most likely they are going to lean it in a direction they want. But I'm not going to get in a thread and complain simply because I'm mad about it being a white person that kills a black person. The story was worth telling regardless of race. Could have been a black on black, white on white, whatever, it was an interesting story and a unique way of telling it.
