Quote:Its another black boy who got what he "deserved" news story.

 

Just go to the comments story, it tells you all you need to know on the target audience.

I couldn't care less what the comments say in that article.  The bottom line here is that 2 kids walked into a restaurant, one brandishing a gun and making threats.  He underestimated the softness of the target, threatened the wrong person with a firearm, and paid the ultimate price.  It's a tragedy that anyone had to die, but it was the end result of a series of bad decisions made by someone who the family is trying to portray as an angel unjustly gunned down because the shooter didn't have what the woman deems to be adequate training.  God forbid they admit this kid made a long list of dumb moves and it cost him his life.  No accountability.  It's always someone else's fault. 

 

Skin tone had nothing to do with the end result in this instance.  Stupidity did.  Until we better educate our young men and women on consequences for actions, accountability, and the fragility of life, this is going to continue to happen.  Focusing on the comments made by a bunch of ignorant, anonymous hayseeds deflects away from the real issue here.  This kid didn't have to die.  He had total control over whether he made it home that day or not.
