"Whatever, there has to be more to the story than we are being told. That black kid must have a history and a police record, where was his father all his life?"

Of course, because in the rare instance black people get support from this country's power structure white conservatives lose their shit. Distract and deflect. Truly vile people.

Crazy week in Gun nut USA. Today, a 6 year old girl (and others) shot attempting to retrieve ball from neighbors yard!

Six-year-old shot after basketball rolls into North Carolina man's yard

Police report the arrest of a man accused of shooting a little girl and her father in North Carolina.
www.bbc.com www.bbc.com

"They were playing basketball, and a ball rolled into his yard. They went to go and get it. It was just crazy," said Jonathan Robertson, who lives in the Gaston County neighbourhood. "We just never expected it in a million years. We never expected anybody would break a gun out amongst all those kids."

We like to huff paint and murder. I've got nothing else at this point. You all should probably build a wall.

It's like a bunch of people heard about the kid being shot for ringing the wrong doorbell, said: "Hold my beer", and started cleaning their guns. :eek:

A small detail like did he have his hand on the screen door might be enough to influence a verdict.

You ever knock on a screen door? It's hard as shit to get someone's attention inside the house unless you open it and knock on the actual door.

Just for clarification.From everything I have read:
1. There was no screen door. There was a locked interior wood door which Lester unlocked and opened and there was also a locked glass storm door which Lester did not unlock.

2. There was no knocking. There was a doorbell which Ralph rang.

Sorry, storm door, whichever... those are still hard to get someone's attention through. At this point I'm assuming he just rang the doorbell, assumed it didn't work when nobody answered, and was going to knock on the actual door.

Parsons is complaining that Biden is "politicizing" the situation by anticipating inviting the victim to the Oval Office. That in itself is politicizing. :rolleyes: Whining SOB should do something to stop the violence instead of complaining.

He was looking for his younger brothers, not to get shot in the face.

Unless things spiral out of control, I figure, at least "for the time being." But look, they did have an assault weapons ban that WAS working. Unfortunately, it had an expiration date, which just plain sucks.

What's even worse about this one is that apparently neither the little girl nor her father were involved in the basketball playing, or the attempt to retrieve the ball. The mom and dad were grilling outside and the girl was riding her bike.

Well guess what, the shooter's grandson spoke up, and he said...he isn't surprised by the news because his grandfather is a racist!


This is so shocking. I never would have guessed.

Oh, even better:

He said his grandfather believed in right-wing conspiracy theories and was influenced by the “fear and paranoia” stoked by some right-wing media, which was often “blaring in his living room.”

No surprises here. We already know that right media (propaganda) kills.

NY woman driven to wrong address fatally shot by homeowner

Authorities say a 20-year-old woman on her way to a friend’s house in upstate New York was driven to the wrong address and quickly shot to death by the homeowner. Washington County Sheriff Jeffrey Murphy said Monday that 65-year-old Kevin Monahan was arrested on a second-degree murder charge for...

The shooter in this one, 65 yr-old Kevin Monahan, has been indicted for murder in the second degree, reckless endangerment and tampering with physical evidence. I don't know what he supposedly did to incur the tampering charge, but I'm glad he's been charged for the killing.

Yeah, saw a news report on this one. Evidently his shotgun blast went through the back window of her car, which of course corrobrates her friends who say they had turned around and were leaving.

He was remanded without bail.

Given his age I doubt he ever sets foot outside of a prison again.

Yes, but we are being told Andrew Lester's racism is at least equally born by Ralph Yarl.

And they got this one right - Monahan was convicted of murder yesterday.

"Monahan had pleaded not guilty to charges of murder in the second degree, reckless endangerment and tampering with physical evidence in the death of 20-year-old Kaylin Gillis on April 15, 2023. He was convicted of all charges after about two hours of deliberations."

The DA "will seek a maximum sentence of 25 years to life when Monahan is sentenced on March 1."
