Unfortunately for him he didn't stop and he got dealt with by citizens.


There’s certainly a Darwinian element to his demise.

Unfortunately for the McMichaels, their legal justification for chasing him, blocking his exit, pointing a gun at him and ultimately killing him is extremely slim.

And even if it was, you do not have the right to stalk and kill someone for trespassing after they leave.


I think the guys made terrible decisions, but come on. You make it sound like they were on a safari.

Irrelevant. They were pursuing someone who they didn’t know to be committing a crime against property that wasn’t theirs.

I feel no pity for either side in this fracas.

I never said it did.

This situation was a few assholes meeting up and one of the assholes dying. I don’t care if the other assholes die as well.

I’ve said this so many times. The BLM movement is the worst judge of character I’ve ever seen.

And they choose the worst fricking people as their heroes and martyrs. Hate to say it, but I’m surprised more blacks people aren’t totally embarrassed.

Would it really shock you if they referred to people like him as animals?

They hunted him through the subdivision, pointed a gun at him and killed him. There isn’t much defensible about what they did.

Because those the black community should look up to are considered Uncle Toms. But you know that doc.

There's a weird solidarity there that I just don't get; maybe I would if I were a minority? I would just never occur to me to identify with another person just because they're white.

You do not.

I would suggest that you read the summary above (638pm), but you would not believe me if I told you the time. Watch the video again.
no, I remembered it correctly. Just watched the video again. He runs like 50 yards towards a truck parked in the road with 2 guys with guns outside, runs around the right side of the truck, charges the guy that was out front of the left side of the truck and the first shot goes off when he starts grappling with the guy

They followed him, and altercation occurred and they shot him. I'm not defending anything they did, but there's no need to try to paint it as worse than it was. When you say "hunt" you're implying, purposefully I suspect, that they intended to kill him when the whole thing started. I seriously doubt that's the case.

The truth is bad enough, there's no need to give it an Olberman treatment.

I've never met them. Have you? I have no idea what they would or wouldn't say.

As I said in another post, the truth is bad enough here.

You left out the part about McMichael pointing the gun at him as he approached, him veering to the right to avoid him and McMichael rushing around the front of the truck to cut him off.

They grabbed their guns to pursue someone. They chased him up and down various roads in the subdivision. They pointed their guns at him when he wasn’t an imminent threat of serious bodily harm to them.

I’m not sure “hunt” is an inappropriate word

Which I don't understand.

Philando Castile and Atatiana Jefferson never get talked about, but they were completely innocent people.

Yes three armed men in two vehicles followed him and cut him off on multiple occasions and he tried to go in a different direction. One of the vehicles also hit him hard enough to leave a dent.
