Persecuted for defending himself guilty of being White, I think so.
I thought it had something to do with being underage to buy a weapon, buying one through a straw buyer in another state, his dumb as parents letting him go to another state to participate in a riot, cause there wasn't one in his state, (and his state knew he was too young to possess a weapon without supervision anyway), he got his weapon from the straw buyer (I heard he bought it with his stimulus check) and got into a situation way over his head, where he had no business being, in the first place and ended up with people getting killed. I am pretty sure he is not charged with being white, and think it is the dead people thing. Do you actually get or understand the news, the law or the court system in any state, or that state in particular? Everybody else but you, knew this was going to be a court case, just from the interstate weapons purchase through straw buyer alone, after he ended up killing people, whether in self-defense or not. Let the courts of that state do their job and sort it all out.
More to it than this.
If you want to leave it to the courts....do just that.
Don't piecemeal the information.
I can go with what the courts of that state decide, no matter what they decide. Personally, I do not think he should have been charged as an adult. He was not over 18 and his decision-making abilities and outcomes showed it. His parents ought to be horsewhipped for not maintaining any better control of their teenage kid. If they had kept his adolescent ass in the house that night, none of this would have happened, and he even would have been able to pick up his new AR-15 after he turned 18, but would have missed out on a fine opportunity to travel out of state, armed with an illegal weapon to a riot. If I had tried head for Memphis for the riots, back when Martin Luther King was killed, my dad would have beat my ass with a belt for even thinking of an idea, that stupid in the first place, because no matter how old and mature you think you are, you ain't allowed to be that stupid, by normal parents until you are 18.
He did nothing wrong------he shot 3 criminals who attacked him. Nothing wrong with that. if at worse, that you have to say about him is that he was 17 when he shot the 3 criminals trying to kill him, you up shit creek.
He was just an out of control dumb ass that should have never been out of his own state or had access to an illegal weapon. You want him tried as adult, but let off on murder. I don't look at it as murder, but they died by his misadventure as well as his own. He is to blame, whether murder or not, so are his parents, so is the out of state straw buyer that spent the kid's money to circumvent the law to get the kid the weapon, so was the people he was with at the location near the riot that apparently left this dumb kid on his own, so is the owner of that business that allowed the underage out-of-state kid to take part in guarding his business, while he, himself was somewhere else. Every adult involved with that dumb ass kid, shirked or mishandled their responsibilities for and to that kid and people are dead. Even if he gets off on the murder rap, which I suspect he will, being tried with the weapons charge, screws the kid pretty good. Think about it, just the weapons charge would be enough that he be never allowed to legally carry a hand gun, get a security clearance and with interstate travel involved with the weapon thing, I would not be surprised if he never got on a commercial airline flight again, even though his feet never left the ground. He may not get much time at all, but that dumb ass kid managed to Fk up his life pretty good with the help of a lot of adults that should have known better.
