Protestors gathered… but I haven’t heard of anything popping off. SM agitators running their mouths, of course.

For believing that it's ok to shoot someone robbing you if he is showing/pointing a gun but not ok to shoot someone who is robbing you if you don't see a gun?

You can look at the kid and tell he’s a criminal


Imagine being a business owner who defended yourself and having someone like you on the jury that would send you to jail forever over their internal guilt


Non law abiding cultures stick together and refuse to help police and ruin juries. It’s time that law abiding cultures developed solidarity

Rick Chow was held for 3 years with no bail

He should sue the state and the activist judge

In the mean time Rick Chow spent 3 years locked up and away from his family and lost his business.

The people defending the kid saying he "put the bottles back", he intended to steal.

People really need to quit making excueses for those who think crime is a normal way of life and not their fault.

Now Chow should not have chased him from the store.

Given the kid lived in walking distance they probably knew he was a grade A thug in the making.


The stupidity of stealing something you can get from a faucet outside makes this a darwin level way to die.

BTW ... prosecutors went for the jugular. That's why they lost this case.


Same for Treyvon

If they had gone for manslaughter probably would have convicted the white hispanic

Did "fatigue" possibly be partially or wholly responsible for this verdict? Perhaps, public sentiment is turning?

I think "fatigue" plus the prosecutors went too far, plus the jury despised how the judge is a well known anti white racist qunt who had already held Chow in jail for three years.

People need to make up their mind about bond being set for violent crime allegations.

Circumstances and nuances matter on charges and bond decisions, but this judge and DA ignored all of that

Our minds are set.

This was a dad defending his son from being killed.

Not the same as a guy with 20 violent priors being released after attacking innocent people.

But you already know the difference; you just want to argue.

The boy went in to the store with no cash, card or phone pay.

He had a loaded gun ready to fire.

He went to the cooler and knew he was being watched by the lady and it looks like he took out a few bottles and put them in his hoodie pockets and put them back.

The lady from where she was standing knew he took things out but couldn`t see all of what he did. So she assumed he was stealing.

He starts to leave and the lady confronts him and he leaves the store.

If he had the gun in his hoodie pocket he may have had it pointed at her when she confronted him when he had his hands in his hoodie pockets.

It may have been that he wanted to bait someone or Mr. Chow to draw a weapon on him so he could shoot them first.

Mr. Chow had numerous other past encounters with other thugs and had even shot one one of them in the leg so people in the community surely hated the store owners.

He may have thought he could be a hero if he baited them and set them up and shot one of them.

It all went wrong when after running away he pointed the gun at the son and the dad shot him.
