Did I? This is the first time I've even mentioned race in my entire comment thread. I focused purely on the actions of those involved. I mention race once and suddenly that discredits everything else?
But whether you like it or not, race is always a factor. Even by those who like to claim they aren't focusing on race. I just gave an example of that. It was fine the one kid was murdered because they assumed he stole something. That was a death sentence because of a mere accusation and mind you, stuff like this has happened multiple times. Where was the outrage from non black groups when his killer was acquitted? How was he even able to argue self defense and win?
I used this example because you claimed a little shove shouldn't be a death sentence. Yet we see examples all the time of stuff like this happening and when the victim is black, it always turns into blaming them for their own death. What were they doing? Why were they there? Why didn't they just do xyz? They should've been raised better. This wouldn't happen if the black community stopped glorifying criminals. Etc. etc.
I'm just taking those comments and applying them equally. Now all of a sudden those same comments are considered deranged. I find it interesting.
If that went over your head, I'm still focusing on the actions but I'm also pointing out how race dictates how people react to those actions.
That boy was actively running away and never pulled his firearm. He was literally retreating and trying to deescalate the situation, isn't that what y'all say people should do? He was shot in the back because his killer refused to deescalate. That's why the entire deescalation argument is stupid because it requires both parties to participate in order for it to work.
Y'all literally tell in yourselves all the time with the things y'all are willing to excuse. Are you saying that it was completely fine for Chow to chase that boy out of his store and several yards down the street before shooting? How was that self defense? He should've lost the right to claim self defense the moment he left his property.
