https://abcnews.go.com/US/6-year-parents-neighbor-shot-after-basketball-rolls/story?id=98717589 Police arrest man who allegedly shot multiple people including a 6-year-old girl when basketball rolled into yard The 24-year-old [BLACK] man accused of shooting a 6-year-old [WHITE] girl, her parents and another neighbor after a basketball rolled into his yard in North Carolina is now in police custody. Robert Singletary appeared in court on Friday and signed an extradition waiver. He turned himself in on Thursday to the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office in Tampa, authorities said. So here we have a story involving a black man who shot a 6 year old white girl because a basketball rolled into his yard. Note the tone of this story and absence of race baiting such as we see in the Kansas City story about a black door knocker being shot by an 84 year old white man that generated page after page of comments on PF. The words in brackets and bold font are added by me to demonstrate the missing race baiting. This is how the fake news spins news stories to reflect their polical agenda. One wonders why Singletary was not locked up after previously attacking a woman with a sledgehammer back in December?
Media has to hide how violent black people are in our country to protect the democrat party. Its pretty simple.
The major difference between this incident and the Kansas City incident has to do with the perpetrator and the story the told police. In Kansas City, the homeowner quite literally said he was afraid of the teen, never said a word, and so forth, hence the perpetrator already set the racial tone to begin with. In this case, the perpetrator fled the scene after shooting a six-year-old girl, her parents, and a neighbor all over a basketball. Hence no racial tones were ever reported by the perpetrator as of now, but that may change. Both have something in common, both act very stupidly and should be held accountable for what they did. The perpetrator in this story fled the scene, so that will up the amount of bail. The other homeowner turned himself in when he was indicted, and is currently on $200k bail in Kansas City. As for the previous incident, that is assault with a deadly weapon in NC. He is out on bail, now that bail for that crime is revoked and now faces additional charges. But it is in North Carolina, a conservative state, and a state who has precise laws on which crimes need bail and which crimes where bail can be denied. The later one will be argued by the prosecution where he may be remanded, or he may face a bail at $500k to $750k for bail.
A person can be afraid of someone who is the same race they are. Your explanation doesn't hold an ounce.
He was afraid because it was a stranger at his door at night and he’s an OLD man. And considering the vast majority of break ins and thefts are a certain race, his fear was perfectly warranted. No excuse to shoot someone obviously just for standing at a door. But it’s not unusual for doors to get kicked in. By then might be too late? Guess a deer should ask the Bear what his intentions are and only run after his neck is in the bears mouth Oh, you really wanted to eat me??? I had no idea.
It's pretty funny how one of the authorities stated that there is a racial component to that case but they refused to actually elaborate what it is
he was, he was out on 250k bail from what I understand not sure if the 84 year old white man is out on bail yet or not
So, if you are following a woman, a woman can then go ahead and shoot you because she is afraid you might rape her? That conservative illogic is BS. And to be totally ironic, you just gave the blac, man a defense lol. But the point I made went against the premise of the OP who is desperately trying to state "reverse discrimination" as his argument. And that too is total BS.
That has no bearing under Missouri law whether it is stand your ground, castle doctrine, or traditional self defense. Again, all of this is simply dung being thrown to the wall to see what sticks and none of that will stick in a court of law. Yes, Lester's defense will try to use self defense, that the teenager, in Lester's mind, was trying to rob him or something similar or he was in reasonable fear of his life, But given the particulars of the case, that is not going to hold water in a court of law. But I do also think a plea deal with assault as a felony will be in the mix if Lester is smart enough to listen to his counsel's advice.
