He started shooting when a basketball rolled into his yard, neighbors said.

Doesn't sound like the problem is guns.

What type of man would shoot at a 6 year old because a basketball rolled into his yard?

I suspect DRUGS may have been the more likely problem.
That combined with a thug gang mentality.

 

The dude obviously has "anger" and mental issues to justify that kinda of response to someone who is six and then to shot the parents too.....crazy.

 

Looks like those guns laws aren't working too well then, huh?
It wasn't legal for this man to have a gun.

 

you think we need to revise them? what did you have in mind?

 

It’s always attack the white man first. At first it was all white police officers. Then we had a couple of incidents, when it was all black police that beat a black man to death. The media seemingly didn’t even know how to handle not being able to blame white cops. To anyone paying any attention it’s obvious blame the white man first and ask questions if you’re forced to later. Things like this is why someone like Trump won once and could win again. He’s a strong supporter of the police, and against the whole woke movement that is in large part anti white.

 

Is this case of “shoot a 6 year old” a case of Black vs White or White vs Black?? Just curious why the race issue is coming up here??

 

This Scum Bag has taken the castle or stand your ground laws way out to the planet Pluto.

 

The case where the Black policemen of that police special forces unit ( what were they called tarantulas or something) got a very open and high level of coverage. I suggest members stop and think “why” that was so.

 

The issue of death by gun is an extremely complex issue. No one law, policy, or solution will solve it. It will take a variety of solutions some from the legal field, some social, some mental health whatever. What will not work is confiscation or letting everyone open carry everywhere - school , church, funeral polars, hospitals, cemeteries, doctors offices, stores, theme parks, everywhere no restrictions. Confiscation is not even possible to conduct and is very very unconstitutional not to mention STUPID.

 

I heard that Basketball Boy has been arrested in Florida.

 

You're just deflecting away from my point, and hop on a whole new bandwagon to respond to.
Main thing with the other story is a relative accuses his shooter of being a racist. And the shooter shot somebody in the face for no other reason that ringing a doorbell, without any kind of altercation. There was a massive altercation on that basketball shooting. And you're whining and moaning and frustrated that with all the words being said there is no trace to be found to accuse the black shooter of being a racist.

As for your bandwagon. George Floyd and Eric Garner were unarmed and posed no threat by anybody, but subsequently the cops found a need to lynch those 2 to death over a course of plenty of minutes where they desperately fought for every breath. And just like black people are overrepresented in being arrested over violent crime, it's the same thing that black people are overrepresented in being murdered by cops when posing no thread. They are overrepresented in drug busts when white people do an equal amount of crime in that department. Black people are also overrepresented in being pulled over for no reason. And get this: maybe you did not know, but those black people do and are fed up that they are harassed that much when innocent and that's far more often than other ethnicities ... as if the Jim Crow era is still in place.

And if you think you're going to be cute and all and dispute driving while black is a true phenomena and demand sources etc, than it only show that you refuse to accept the reality how racist it is and has been in the US for decades.

 

Because it’s always spelled out and screamed at me anytime a white man does anything wrong.

It’s obviously a racist bias against white people. I’m fed up with it. Millions of People, especially white men are tired of it to say the least. A lot of people don’t understand that this is a big part of why Trump and especially his policies are still so popular among many Americans. If someone with Trumps policies , without his baggage wins the Republican nomination, he would likely win.

 

Weird. I am white, but no one is screaming at me.

Its true that Trump invented the "white man victimhood complex", but doesn't mean you have to dance to the music. As soon as you stop feeling like a victim, you'll realize how silly it was to begin with.

 

I'm not "rooting" for anyone. Just pointing out that you evidently don't read the things that you post before you copy and paste them

 

Having kept him incarcerated for attacking someone with a hammer would have been a good first step which would have prevented this

 

And then you have another family member saying that he is not.

 

Enforcement.

 

It takes a special breed of a person to standing safe behind a door, and see his victim is unarmed from up close to than literally attempts to blow his brains and than shoot again. His ex said he is a violent person. The grandson says he's a racist. I don't think some idiot saying differently could possible alter a thing in court. And here you are supporting that maniac.

 

I'm not "supporting" anyone.... You are engaging in binary thinking..." If you don't agree with me then you must agree with him "

I'm simply stating facts about what has been reported. If you don't like it go complain to the reporter

 

You only are dragging in opinions to ONLY favor a person who saw an unarmed kid and immediately shot him through the door where he stood very safely behind and aimed at his face, and than shot him again.
I calling that out as supporting.

 

thank you for your opinion.

 

It's not my opinion the guy is a violent man to be scared about. It's also not my opinion that the guy is racist.
I don't see how their view is wrong, when he tried to blow an unarmed little kids brains out from up close when he stood safely behind a door.
And it's not as if you actually tried to argue against it.

 

Not once did I ever claim the man was right for what he did. I'm simply saying you have CNN interviewing one of the grandkids claiming that he's a racist simply because he voted for Trump and he's against illegal immigration.

I'm also pointing out that another one of his grandkids disputes that.

And because I'm doing that you somehow twist it and poorly attempt to make it translate to that I am somehow supporting him.

If you try to twist it a little bit harder you might convince those who share your biases already.

Do you think the guy that shot the six-year-old girl and her parents because a basketball rolled into his yard, is also racist?

Be careful because if you answer no it must mean you support him

 

Apparently he yelled at the 6 year old and the six year old went and got her daddy and daddy came out and confronted him which is when he went and got a gun and came out shooting. Not defending him by any stretch, but there was more to it than a basketball rolled into his yard and he went cray cray shooting at a six year old because of just that.

 

you cannot assert SYG or castle doctrine if you are committing a felony by owning the weapon
