Crime Ralph Yarl shooting.

Who here has ever said that?
it goes unsaid but manifests as peoples perspectives... Not sure anyone is dumb enough to say it here but i also remember about two users, so who knows... It's a narrative that string pullers would have people believe, it's pushed indirectly through the media and popular culture...

Nah. That's more extreme than anyone here, even the craziest of us.

First of all, you said white people, not "some" white people. I'm an advocate for minority rights but I think the percentage of the white population that actually wishes harm to black people is so small it's statistically insignificant.

of course. It's not remotely true in any meaningful sense that there's white people who want to kill black people, it may be possible to find some but i'd guess it would be far easier to find blacks who want to kill whites... There's people who hate but even the at one time main kkk guy didn't want to harm black people because his/their beliefs were based in Christianity. There's multi faceted attempts to keep people separated and part of that is fomenting fear.
 
Toughen up buttercup.
lol, the irony. Nah, you're not going to just say what you want about people unchecked. You don't get to label people. Virtue signal using someone else if you don't like it.
 
With Ben Crump involved, it's unlikely that is what actually happened, and obviously there is already a gofundme. If all the kid did was knock and stood there and the guy just started blasting, he should obviously face charges, but it's a bit trickier if there was no answer, and the kid started prowling around in the windows. The guy who lives there doesn't know he was looking for someone else's house, all he would see is someone he doesn't know prowling around his house at night. I guess we'll find out.
I don’t think it was prowling around at night? All I’ve heard now (and this happened days ago) is that he shot him once through the door, then opened it to shoot him again in the head.

Pointing out you've have some real shit takes is virtue signaling? And I'm not the one labeling you. When I pushed back on your attacks when I first frequented the boxing forum, and you'd end up telling me to "fuck off", that's what I was told. "Oh, he's an OK guy, he's just a grouch." So once again you don't get to act all high and mighty and then complain about the reputation that you've earned for yourself.

Deliberately misinterpreting my "shit takes" to get up on your soapbox is virtue signaling, yes. Its a real turd of a person who lies to pat themselves on the back at others expense. You've added your own narrative to my words so you can pontificate.
You're saying more about yourself than you're saying about me.

I think according to the old guy, he was in bed and heard/saw the guy pulling on his front door.

I doubt it'll hold up criminally if you didn't even wait for the guy to enter the house to shoot him, but it's not completely crazy for an 85 year old in Kansas City to think it's a burglary when a stranger is trying to get into his house at night. KC has a ton of crime, and a guy trying to get into your house at night is a robbery way more often than it's someone at the wrong address. Guy's still probably going to jail though, but it's not like an 85 year old has 20 years left.

Point out where I have misinterpreted your words and I'll apologize to you. And I don't know why you think I'd need to pat myself on the back on an internet forum but point out where I've done that and I'll apologize too.

I'm not sure it's true either but I did read the guy shot the kid the second time after he was on the ground. It's also hard to explain why he'd open his main interior door if he was actually frightened. If you're armed and in fear it's best to take a defensive position and call the police. The guy might not have many years left but I'm sure he'd rather not spend them locked up in jail.

yikes, I was trying to make peace between you two boxing fans. I've made it worse.

Seano, you gotta learn to relax a little bit
At this rate, you've got a heart attack on the horizon... and it's gonna be a whopper

So how late at night was this? I had thought it was in the afternoon/supper time?
 
It was 10pm, which might as well be 2am for an 85 year old.
Still doesn’t seem like reasonable force to me…..


I also doubt if the kids knocked on the doors he started trying to get into the house. He MAY have walked around to see if they were in the back yard.

It's odd how statistically insignificant populations are able to pass unjust laws and policies that target minorities, and that statistically insignificant populations are still large enough to go on mass shootings or lynchings.

I have no idea. Either way the reasonable thing to do would have been to wait inside until the guy enters before you shoot, I'm just saying thinking it's a break in rather than a guy at the wrong address to pick up his brother at 10pm isn't irrational, his reaction was premature.

I'm trying to look at it from both guys' perspective to see what most likely happened, then decide what went wrong. Ralph doesn't know he's at the wrong house, and the old guy doesn't know the guy outside is at the wrong house, so if I was picking someone up at night and nobody answered, I'd probably try to look in the windows to see where everyone is or get someone's attention, and if I was an 85 year old living alone in a high crime city, I'd probably not answer the door at 10pm thinking maybe someone is picking up their brother at the wrong address.

The goof from each of them is maybe call or text someone to figure out why the house you're getting your brother at has all the lights off like nobody is home or awake, and the old guy obviously should have waited until the guy actually broke in before shooting.

I think that's the clincher at the moment with the evidence I've seen. Also if the old guy shot him again once the kid was down then that pretty much should seal his fate.
