In Texas it does!

Agreed.

But the goal of never having a single racist or single act or racism in a country of 330 million people all armed with cellphone cameras is an unattainable goal that always allows people like Talcum X to spew their propaganda to the masses.

I am confused. Is there a video or not? Why do people allegedly feel the need to use "alleged" all the time?


Because somebody leaked it to a radio station and it hasn't been validated by official sources but it very strongly lines up with the circumstances of the case.

Agreed, but might not get a guilty verdict from a jury.

The Texas case involved this...

quote:

He pulled Flores off the little girl and "inflicted several blows to the man's head and neck area," according to documents.


That’s a little different then waiting to apprehend someone with a deadly weapon who is running away

Regardless, I’m not looking for specific cases, I’m just saying there is no law that makes murder acceptable in certain circumstances that don’t involve self defense.

Problem is, they aren’t fricking cops. At least the aren’t on duty and they aren’t able to arrest someone running down the street.

also, problem is even if they were cops they aren't allowed to just mow him down

this case is going to come down to the fear the guy on the ground with the gun felt when the dead man tried to defend himself

while i can see the very general likeness to trayvon, the biggest difference will be the gun issue. trayvon didn't attack GZ b/c GZ had a gun. trayvon just attacked

Google Joe Horn incident!

He shot two guys (in the back. If that isn't running away, I don't know what is) robbing his neighbors house. After being told by 911 operators not to interfere!

Also, from the guy jogging's perspective, cops with guns drawn giving commands is a lot different from this.

These are just two dudes in a pickup. You can't even say people should listen to a police officer's commands.

Also, police officers are generally told never to get that close to someone. You don't hear anyone yell anything (and I can't tell who yells what, just that someone does) until the guy is within 5-10 feet of the truck.

These guys did what cops shouldn't do without any of the authority cops have.

Worthless white trash. Both need to be executed, say he did Rob them, I'd doesn't give them the right to run him down at gunpoint.

This I disagree with

If you rob someone, I have no personal issue with chasing them down and murdering them. Being robbed is about as vulnerable as you can feel as a person. I understand the law is different, and it should be for various reasons. But from a moral/personal standpoint I have no problem with someone killing you if you enter their house and steal from them and run away

However, this video looks bad. Real bad

For those who do not know the details of the case I just want to point out that the guy was cleared of any wrong doing and was never a suspect of any crime.

Yeah certainly huge gaps in the video. I’m going to hold opinion until more comes out.


I'm not exactly sure what could have transpired in the moments to minutes before the film that would justify the action taken.

You can't just gun down people in the street, even if they are burglars unless your life or health is in reasonable jeopardy.

If I were to ever rob someone, I would do it knowing that there is a good chance I could end up dead from my own actions.

But it's not a "lynching" with all that word implies.





A lynching is defined as the killing of someone by a mob without a fair and legal trial. I mean I guess you could argue that 2 guys with a gun isn't a mob, but they certainly appear to have taken justice into their own hands and killed a guy without a fair and legal trial.

That makes sense watching the video. It seems like he would have been trying to do a better job at evading them than just running down the middle of the street in broad daylight if he had just stolen or attempted to steal something and was caught
