The Advocate and Nola. com stirring the race pot with this headline

quote:Let me get this straight. A man asks a second man for money. The second man refuses and grabs a gun. The first man asks others for money. At least one of those people isn’t bothered, yet the second man is upset that the first man is bothering the others and he shoots and kills the first man. Oh, and a woman who offered to share what she heard and saw was brushed off. She even went back to the scene after dropping off her groceries. On Aug. 29, about 100 people gathered to ask for justice for Buckley. East Baton Rouge Mayor-President Sharon Weston Broome offered a prayer and support The next time a black man kills a white man, will the headline be the same?
Will Sutton: A young (White) man shot a (Black) grandfather. Baton Rouge cops didn't seem alarmed.

What happened was wrong. This shouldn't simply be about Black and White. Boyd is White. Buckley was Black. But is there a connection? When we can’t imagine why something would’ve happened, we look for answers.

Then they wonder why no one subscribes to it.

My god try reading that article. It’s like a high schooler wrote it thinking it would sound witty.

It is amusing that they have resorted to ebegging like some thot titty streamer on Twitch.
Even more amusing is watching John Georges who pissed away millions in two elections to finish third only to further piss away more in a time print media is a dying platform.

Race is only mentioned when it’s white on black crime, never the other way around.

But realistically what would have been the 1st question you'd all ask without those distinctions given the headline?
The article from Nola.com was not the best written but did offer a hypothetical of a situation we all have been in. We've all had people stop and ask for money, most likely denied them, and then see them move onto the next nearest individuals to ask. Panhandling has existed for centuries.
Both articles gives a small recount of how the situation transpired. Buckley (the man killed), was asking people for money outside of Trader Joe in the parking lot. And reported by the woman who later found out he had been killed said, "she wasn’t threatened," when Buckley approached her. keep this in mind
The police report filed that Buckley was "was aggressively harassing customers in the parking lot," which seems to be a false account of what happened.
Buckley asked Boyd (the young shooter) for money, in which he casually denied I'd presume. Boyd, then witnessed Buckley move on to to the group of women who did not feel threatened and ask them for money, in what Boyd determined was a threatening manner.
It seems this caused some type of confrontation between Buckley and Boyd in most likely a verbal exchange. Then, "Boyd retrieved a gun from his car, pointed it at the unarmed Buckley, and pulled the trigger — but the weapon initially misfired," according to a police report. "Boyd quickly reloaded and this time fired the fatal shot."
People are upset by how the case was handled by the police. Boyd claimed self-defense and therefore was not immediately arrested on the scene without much investigation. He was then was told to go home by the police that day, in which eventually after a few days they later came back and arrested him. However, that came about because the Mayor wanted a new thorough review of the case stemming from the public outcry.

So why let them continue to preach hate and be divisive in the name of anti-American causes. It's past freedom speech when it's used to usher in communist values.
