WTF? http://www.nydailynews.com/news/nat...man-walmart-gun-chaos-story-article-1.1936449 Maybe this is old news or something, I don't know but damn that's some ole bullshit
Holy f**k. I feel like throwing up, my heart hurts so much for the young man. Absolute waste of life! He must've been just terrified. I remember his mom said he yelled 'its a toy' or 'it's not real!', something like that, just before they shot him. Unforgivable.
This fucking breaks my hear. I'm hoping that he get charged with something. Something similar happened in LA a while she when someone made up a fake story about someone stealing his laptop out of his car at gunpoint because he thought he would get a response by the police that way. Police gunned down the suspect and I think the 'victim' got charged causing the killing. Not entirely sure.
They don't want to 'taint' the jury pool or some 'bish like that Bet if that mothafucka committed a strong armed robbery minutes before, they woulda released footage of it to justify his shooting Cuz we know robbery equals death nowadays
A witness,a 37 y/o mother of two,dropped dead on the spot. Two people died that day in the toy department.
No, it was not in Pasadena. I think it was downtown a few years ago and yes, it was similar. In that someone's false statement got somebody killed.
You know I don't know how to take that. It reminds me of kids doing swatting or whatever it is called. Where an online gamer makes lies and have the swat team invade your house. I feel the caller is responsible but they should share most of the blame.
It's a double Whammy, African-Americans are getting gunned down by other races in these extreme situations, & by other African-Americans, it's so frustrating. I'm so tired of hearing the stories, I don't know if it's just me, or it's more media coverage, or is it really just happening more.
I wasn't saying that other races don't, and Wheather all races or just ours wouldn't change the fact that we still do. Both bother me, and obviously one over the other.
We are human beings just like everybody else....people kill their own. NOBODY else is dumb enough to try to OWN it the way we do. More people died in mexico last year than anywhere else on earth...yet...somehow...that's not Brown on Brown crime. Native americans "kill one another" five times the national average...yet...somehow...that's not called Red on Red crime. We the only ones stupid enough to act like we are somehow genetically linked to this COMMON human REALITY. What did the Irish do when they were trapped in the ghetto? KILLED EACH OTHER LIKE MAD. What did the Jews do when they were trapped in the ghetto? SLAUGHTER ONE ANOTHER LIKE CRAZY. What did the Italians do when they were trapped in the ghetto? BUTCHER ONE ANOTHER..that's what they did.
But your generalizing me, maybe a lot of African-Americans "act like we are somehow genetically linked to this COMMON human REALITY," but I, think it's terrible for any of your examples to kill each other. I know African-Americans don't hold some exclusive right to killing each other, I'm not stupid, but my predominant genetic makeup doesn't include those races, naturally making me more concerned with my own kinship (especially considering the nature of how the African-American community used to treat each other as a whole). But everything is subjective. I mean consider that historical statisticians say that despite our more recent wars, conflicts and death rate, we are still much more peaceful than thousands of years worth of our predecessors.
Yet another BM who died due to a WM's false accusation. If anyone tries to convince me that blacks have more privileges today than whites and other races, I'll scream at the top of my lounges and it'd make me wanna murder someone as well.
You're both right but the unfortunate thing is that some how we are held far more accountable. It's that kind of thinking that brings the dumb ass statement "if you're so concerned with black deaths why not focus on Chicago" because the concern isn't just the lost of young black life but how the system seems to have a completely different set of rules when it is young black life. Violence should be all of our concern as well as poverty that causes this because at some point it can and will touch us all. Harmony and peace shouldn't be something only set aside for the wealthy
I think it's that our access is more expansive. For example, 20 years ago you would not really know about the local daily murders in my city (which have been pretty consistent over 2 decades), whereas today all you have to do is go to actionnews.com for my city (any city), and the stories are there. Then a simple repost iin Twitter, and it can pick up steam nationally, as we know. Regardless, this particular story is still painful to bear, tragic all around, and unfortunate that there will be no indictment now, but the family will surely be financially compensated and his children, it's the least they can do. I still feel like there is video of this shooting we should see. How was he holding it, were the cops trigger happy, was he pointing it at them...ugh, too much unanswered here.
