Ted Wafer: found GUILTY of Second Degree Murder & Manslaughter

[Fat Kevin]

It's their excuse to lash out at us. Which is why the whole Knockout Game story was x10000. They're making up reasons to justify attacking us.

yeah, there were only 100 or so cases of the knockout game out of millions of black teens
and of course they always have to bring up robberies in the neighborhood and how they were in "fear of their life", it's always the same shyt, and sadly I don't see an end to it anytime soon

There weren't even that many cases. The phenomenon didn't exist to begin with. It was media propaganda.

this dude dont seem like trayvons pops, he might take this shyt into his own hands if he gets off

Hell yeah. If dude gets off he better move outta the country.

This is such a sad case but even with the castle doctrine, this guy isn't getting off. Firing that weapon while going to answer your door falls outside of acceptable use of force. You can't jump from loud door knock to firing a shotgun. It's almost the same as having deadly traps in your house. You can't have that type of shyt because ANYONE could be killed. If he gets off...expect a riot. This is Michigan. Not Florida.

I thought I read in one of the tweets that he even shot through a closed screen door

I admit I haven't read much about this case. I did hear about the story on NPR this morning.
Here is what I heard as possibly happening:

• The defense claims that this girl broke down his door and thats when he shot her.
• The prosecutor claimed that to be false because the door was still locked with the shotgun hole in it.
• The girl blood alcohol level was 3x over the legal limit which probably led to the crash

To be honest, I understand the fear its early in the morning and someone is violently banging on your door. Hell, this happened to me only a month ago where some folks tried to ask me to come in and use my phone so they "can call their friends" to find their apartment in the complex and I sternly said no and made it clear it wasn't happening. A few mins later they started banging on my door again which I guessmay have been out of taking offense for me treating them with suspicion. I admit I was a bit freaked out and told my girlfriend to get her cellphone and I grabbed a bat lol. Your home is your castle and there is a certain feeling of violation when folks threaten that.

However, at the same time, I'm not blasting folks through my front door. I'm using my brain and assessing the situation first. My guess is this dude is unfortunately the result of this right-wing fearmonging currently gripping the country where the gun is the first thing these people feel needs to be used to resolve conflict. He probably saw someone black outside his door, immediately thought "thug" and started shooting. Especially given the door was locked when police arrived.

Being real Jordan Davis didnt even get justice. His killer was found guilty on the 3 attempted murder charges of the 3 other boys in the car but they mistried on his 2nd degree murder charge. His retrial on that charge alone is in September

exactly

You see what most of them think

I think people have been brainwashed by the NRA into thinking shyt like this is normal behavior

They've been brainwashed by America to respond to black people like this.

If the roles were reversed and a black man had shot a lilly white girl at his door, he'd be getting a lethal injection right this second.

Is the trial being broadcast on television anywhere? Checked CNN but nothing.
