There is way more to this story than this article would have a reader believe.
That kid got shot for nothing. This guy ran out into his driveway with full intent to shoot somebody.
The prosecutor didn’t go after this case for NO reason. Mr. White had no reason to perceive any threat from those kids whatsoever. In the part of America where I live, you don’t just get to shoot and kill someone who’s coming to your house to talk. These kids were not even on White’s property as I recall.
So John White got a free murder. All because the girl who accused his son of threatening rape either lied about it to begin with or lied after when she recanted. But hey, SHE’S still alive.
The kid who got killed, well he was inebriated over the legal limit and it would seem that the bunch who were supposedly coming after White’s son maybe had a bit too much courage from liquid spirits.
These sorts of things happen all the time. More NORMAL folks don’t go brandishing guns and shooting people. One could make an argument that Mr. White perhaps a perfect right to carry his gun to confront the group coming after his son, but the young man he shot was UNARMED, on a public street, and not a danger to anyone.
Merry Christmas to John White.
what a pantload. They were at his house to merely talk to him? I’m happy he’s home for Christmas with his son. The number of people showing up to menace him alone justifies a gun. That’s why Sam Colts gun was called an equalizer. The guy who got shot sounds like a typical jerk. And claiming the black kid was going to rape a white girl? Very 1920s.
