Well did the kid show the gun (and/or point it) or not? I guess the jury thought he did? If he didn't, then frick the store owner. If he did, then bravo to the store owner.

You’re part of the problem

It is completely illogical to assume the store owner shot the kid if he never knew the kid was carrying a firearm


Exactly and how many times has he encountered young black shoplifters and not shot them? Probably hundreds.

Reality is that the prosecution overcharged. Consensus seems to be that if they had gone for manslaughter they could have gotten a verdict and possibly a 30 year sentence.

And why tf does a 14 year old have a gun?


That's the true problem here but cultcha doesn't ever seem to want to address that.

How could the prosecution possibly make that claim?


The same way they proclaimed Trayvon Martin was "in fear" too.

Not familiar with the case, but how did the prosecutors know whether the deceased pointed his gun or not?

Check out what the prosecution team looked like, bottom of the picture. That’s why

If this happened once every two weeks, there would be far less of "this happened"!!!

The store owner claimed the 14-year-old pointed the gun at his son. The prosecutors say that never happened.
how world the prosecutors know that? Here's a thought, don't be a 14 year old running around with a gun, attempting to shoplift
