I think people killing unarmed people cannot be so categorized as so much worse as this case is - while other killings are read about, quietly even sadly acknowledged and life goes on in most cases. But in some, everyone gets so upset over that crime, bounties are exacted, basketball teams protest, other protests are held all over the country, politicians and civil rights leaders speak up & TV news & Google explode with repeated reports of 99% reporting only one side of the story. I don't think there would be anywhere near the outrage if I were stalked & murdered in the manner I mentioned above, even if the shooter were of a different race. I wonder why? |
If the killer were one of your neighborhood 'watchmen' and had been following you because you looked suspicious . . and then the police just blew it off and said your killer was 'A OK' because ~ well, he's a neighborhood watchman and you DID look suspicious - yeah - I think that would garner some attention. Someone is going to have to pursue this on your behalf, though and make a loud noise IF the local police are just going to take your killer's word for it that you were walking suspiciously, whatever.
