[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 4485508, member: 24302"] But white joggers in a white neighborhood would be normal. I wish we had a more clarifying video. People keep saying "hunted." But he ran up to their vehicle as opposed to them running him down. From the video it looks like there was an almost immediate physical confrontation. There was no shooter off to the side casually mowing down someone. Shots were fired while grappling for control of the gun. It reminds me of the George Zimmerman case where basically an idiot refused to wait for the police but decided to confront someone he viewed as suspicious. If they had followed this guy while calling the police they wouldn't be in jail now, assuming there wouldn't have been a confrontation. And it does bother me that when a white kills a black it's immediately national news and it's spun as happening all the time. Taken advantage of in a political year to scare blacks into supporting Democrats because this is the kind of thing Republicans support and do(according to Democrats). And yet most major cities with large black populations are controlled by Democrats and I don't see anyone ripping those administrations for the high murder rate amongst blacks including plenty of innocent bystanders. But let a white Republican mayor use techniques like stop-and-frisk to significantly lower violence and save thousands of lives and he's accused of racism. We have the world we do because people take advantage of others' fear to gain power and get access to taxpayer money. [/QUOTE]
