You take a justified white-on-black shooting, make it look completely unjustified by the media, and then mix in a lot of cops and protests and what not. By the time the dust settles, the evidence clears the shooter in question to be found innocent, which fans the flames that have already been created even more. One more step towards an America with jackbooted thugs running around. The ones you see all over Twitter.
Well since I have no trust of the media. I am trying to rationalize why the supposed innocent victim was picked out. If people were dead set against young black men, there would be far less. And if the people that killed these young men were prone to kill young black men, they would have done so before these incidents.
The victim was chosen because the killer thought he looked like someone who had or was going to commit a crime (he had not in fact committed any crime and as far as anyone knows or has any reason to suspect, he was not going to). He was a young black man dressed according the fashion of young black men walking down the street after dark. That, apparently is a suspicious thing to be doing. Walking down the street at night wearing a hooded sweatshirt and blue jeans while black. i suppose we are to believe he deserved to die.
And that is the media version. Sweet little boy that has never caused a problem with anyone and a big bad ass killed him for being a young black male in a multiracial neighborhood… yea.
I love how only interracial killings are a huge deal, in the media, as long as the victim is African American.
93% of African Americans are killed by other African Americans. Blacks are killing each other all over the country, but that is rarely talked about compared to the occasional cop killing a black person.
He doesn’t need to be a sweet little boy - he could be a total asshole - he still doesn’t deserve to be shot to death just because some overzealous wannabe vigilante with a gun (not even a cop) didn’t like how he looked.
