Good!
Maybe all the people like this could join together in a big class-action suit against the people who told them it made sense to throw a couple of hot ones at any random minority member you become aware of.
To be fair: “Shooting black teenager” is a stretch.
Apparently seing a black persons makes a lot of white people panic in the USA ? 14 years old ?
Fourteen-year-old Brennan Walker wasn’t hurt. He told police he missed a school bus on April 12 and knocked on Zeigler’s door in Rochester Hills after getting lost. He ran after seeing a man inside the house grab a gun.
A white retired firefighter has been sentenced to at
least four years in prison for shooting at
Fourteen-year-old Brennan Walker wasn’t hurt.
Jeffrey Zeigler apologized before he was sentenced
Can’t really ask for more.
Some details:
Jeffrey Zeigler was charged with attempted murder, but Oakland County jurors on Friday convicted him of the lesser assault charge and a gun crime.
The judge, Wendy Potts, rightly gave the jury the option of convicting on the lesser charges.
And the prosecutors, too, deserve as much credit as the jury. One of them was Kelly Collins:
[She] told the jury evidence indicates [that the boy] escaped fatal injury only because Zeigler was unable to immediately fire his 12-gauge Mossberg shotgun since the safety was engaged, giving Walker enough time to run for his life down the horseshoe driveway outside Zeigler’s home.
“There were choices made and choices have consequences,” Collins told the jury. “… He told you of his past and his credentials and how he is an upstanding citizen and homeowner who was broken into before … and how he felt he and his wife were in danger. [But] he was the danger on April 12.”
And then there was the surveillance footage and the testimony of Detective Shawn Pace of the Sherriff’s office.
As I said, the Deep State came through this time: I can’t really ask for more.
This guy should have told the court the teen failed to signal a lane change when exiting the front porch. Then killing him would have been justified.
There have been too many stories like this in the Detroit area: innocent black people needing help and getting shot because of it. That poor kid. Thank dog he had the presence of mind to get the heck out of there, and the safety was on, causing a delay.
One is too many.
What is the matter with people!
…shooting at a black teenager who came to his suburban Detroit home asking for directions to school.
Wow. Just Wow.
Actually, no–There’s more. Had that boy been white, I would imagine they would have invited him in for cocoa.
He would have offered to drive him to school.
I wonder how the wingnut press is playing this. We all know that home invasion teams use innocent-seeming kids to case the joint first.
Even physically uninjured, this kid has been badly wounded.
You see those darkies hate us because of the darkeness of their soul!
If he awoke to his wife’s screams didn’t he question if the fking door was locked?
…or bought him Burger King.
It’s so strange that white people are afraid of black people, when they
are the ones that people should be afraid of. Many in the white race
are extremely wicked, much more so than black people. They have
been murdering people for years, i.e. black people, their wives and
children. They also do not respect their own life as they do carry out
much more suicides than any other race in the United States. (https://afsp.org/about-suicide/suicide-statistics/) Recently, however, they have stepped it up with the mass killings. They have been barbaric for years now. Black people are not going to eat you lady, who called your husband that this poor kid is going to harm you. Please, do not get offended, but it’s time we all start speaking the truth. We need to address these issues and stop sweeping them under the rug. I am also not saying that blacks do not
commit these sorts of crimes, but IMO, these white men are much
more dangerous. Let’s work on this. There is no superior race and this
is the root cause of all this evil. Peace and love.
Maybe this kid will learn his lesson and quit knocking on people’s doors while Black.

He deserves longer
Right wing media makes people think that crime is everywhere and is increasing.
Why isn’t she serving time, too?
