[GreenBat]

Been waiting for a Fox news story on this since it happened, Thursday May 31st. Haven't seen one., so I had to post a story from another, less credible source.

This is a tragedy of Epic proportions, but the Justice system needs to work it's course so this gentleman, who admits to shooting this unarmed teen, is treated not as a guilty criminal, but as a involved party in a shooting.

Others on this board have made me realize, I should not jump to a conclusion when an unarmed black teens life is taken without cause.

We should wait until the facts come out. That kid probably picked up the trash can is a burglar-like fashion. Self defense if you ask me.

Sigh.. so we have a case here with a completely different set of facts, but people want to be snarkey and act like it's all the same. It's not, and it is intellectually dishonest to act like it is.

Can you post a story WITHOUT sounding like a complete ass? He is in custody, and charged. And isn't it a tragedy when ANY unarmed teen's life is taken?

But most importantly, is it racist?

So, what your saying is, these are the good police and prosecutors because they did what YOU wanted them to do, right?

And like teeth said, different facts.

And, of course, it's intellectually dishonest.
