“Peairs was later acquitted under a Louisiana law, similar to one in Texas that allows people to shoot burglars if they feel threatened.”

“Here’s my question: If people like Horn and Peairs — who are white — can shoot people they feel threatened by, why is it that John White, a Long Island, N.Y., man — who is black — gets a jail term for defending his home when he thought a mob was coming to harm his son, which also resulted in a death.”

Had nothing to do with skin color you moron. It had to do with what you clearly already understand. TX and LA recognize the right to self-defense and NY recognizes no such right other than to call 911 and die.

Who is this race baiting jackass author?!

She seems to be arguing that it was OK for White to get thrown in jail. But I bet if White hadn’t had a gun, and the teens had broken in his house and beaten his kid, she’d be calling for the death penalty for the racist youth.
