Sure, it's a shame that a black man can't go jogging in a white neighborhood without serious risk, including potential bodily harm or even death.
And, sure, it might make somebody to feel good to make a bunch of commotion AFTER THE FACT, but the LOVING thing... the CARING thing.... would be to help educate them that in such a manner that they don't end up dead.
As Leon and I were discussing - work BOTH sides of the equation.
Currently, anybody who says anything other than "THE WHITE DUDES DID IT" is accused of "making excuses" or "justifying the killing".
No, a thousand times no!
If this had been MY son, and I knew he was jogging in a predominantly white neighborhood where he had ALREADY had run-ins (or, at least one run-in) with the local police (as far as I can tell, NOT HIS FAULT), I'd do my best to persuade him not to put his life in jeopardy like that. NOT because I'm racist, but because I love my son and I want him to stay alive.
So, yeah, it IS 'ugly' that a black man can't go out for a jog without ending up dead, but if it were my son, I'd do my best to help him understand that's the world we live in, sad as that is.
It's like the whole "she deserved to be rape because she was scantily dressed in a bar, so she was asking for it". NO.... that is NOT an excuse for somebody to rape her.
But if this were MY DAUGHTER (and, PRAISE GOD my daughter has come OUT of that lifestyle) I would do everything in my power (and I did) to help her understand the risk she's taking.
Because I think it's OK for men to rape girls who dress like that? H-E-Double-HockeySticks NO!!!!! Because I love her and want her to stay alive.
But, we're not allowed to have that conversation, because it doesn't fit the liberal narrative.
(somehow, it would not surprise me if some pinhead (not you, Jim) interpreted this as "CP IS JUSTIFYING THE MURDER!!!!!"
