Store owner found not guilty of murder in 2023 killing of Black teen in South Carolina

[DonGlock26]

Mr. Chow did not act in self-defense or in defense of his son at the moment of the supposed "threat" with a loaded pistol,

What is your evidence of this?

 

[Southern Dad]

His ass would have gotten life in prison if he was White.

Did you see the makeup of the jury? Keep in mind this is a very blue city in a blue county. Can’t really cry racism. Can’t blame Trump. This county went 67% for Harris.

• 3 Black men
• 2 Black women
• 3 White women
• 2 White men
• 2 jurors of other backgrounds

 

[Southern Dad]

Or simply weren't sure who to believe, causing reasonable doubt.

The jury verdict was unanimous, “Not Guilty,”.

 

[Southern Dad]

What crime did he commit JB Stoner

What crime? Well, one thing for sure, he was illegally carrying an illegal gun.

The jury verdict was unanimous, “Not Guilty,”.

Right, that's the verdict, when there is reasonable doubt. But... thanks?

 

[Southern Dad]

Right, but white ass kisser you didn't have a problem with Kyle Rittenhouse carrying one.

Hold on, Kyle Rittenhouse was 18 and legally allowed to carry that weapon. This kid was 14 and you have to be 21 to carry the weapon that he was carrying.

Hold on, Kyle Rittenhouse was 18 and legally allowed to carry that weapon. This kid was 14 and you have to be 21 to carry the weapon that he was carrying.

Which is a matter for the police.

It’s pretty hard to explain away this 14 year old packing a 9mm. Since it was laying on the ground, he obviously pulled it on someone.

 

[Southern Dad]

Which is a matter for the police.

In this case, it was a matter for Mr. Chow.

A14yr old needs his parents to walk to the corner store.

I was seven years old and walking to the store.

 

[Superbadbrutha]

Pretty much. I had a strict upbringing and a father in my household.
I was not running the streets with a loaded pistol. Were you?

Every kid in this world has done something they had no business doing.

 

[Superbadbrutha]

What crime? Well, one thing for sure, he was illegally carrying an illegal gun.

You didn't have a problem with Rittenhouse carrying one.

 

[Superbadbrutha]

Hold on, Kyle Rittenhouse was 18 and legally allowed to carry that weapon. This kid was 14 and you have to be 21 to carry the weapon that he was carrying.

Actually, he was 17yrs old, the Law was murky at best on if Rittenhouse could lawfully carry.

Wisconsin law says that "any person under 18 years of age who possesses or goes armed with a dangerous weapon is guilty of a Class A misdemeanor."

The exception is aimed at letting children ages 16 and 17 hunt, but it is also clear, Rittenhouse wasn’t in Kenosha to hunt

Tell that to numbnuts.

Rittenhouse was legal

Not felonies like carrying a illegal pistol at 14 years old. You are just making excuses.

 

[Zincwarrior]

Who stole something from it?

The teenager did in fact, illegally have a gun? That appears to very much support the verdict. What is the OP arguing?

 

[Southern Dad]

You didn't have a problem with Rittenhouse carrying one.

Rittenhouse was 18 and it is legal to carry a long gun if you are over 18. This kid was 14, it is not legal to carry a handgun at 14, or a long gun. Is Rittenhouse had been carrying a handgun that would have been a problem. You also do not know how I felt about Rittenhouse because I didn’t post my opinions on it. I just stated the facts and the legality.

That this 14yr old didn't steal anything and why the hell were they chasing this kid.

You are correct, he was 17 at the time. However, the judge dismissed that charge because the exception for short barrel long guns. Hey, I didn’t write the law.
