The odds are very high that this was a black man defending his home and wife, and he performed a community service for his neighbors, who are also probably black. Well, there’s no story there. So, I can see the headline now:

White Kills Black Youth

More details: It is believed the robber had two accomplices (plus picture of the homeowner).

“My guess: both perp and almost-a-victim were Black? Therefore, this is not a story for the MSM.”

Obviously not, since the story has been disappeared from the link.

Wow...Just Wow.... Some Obama Scrubbing going on or...

This is something like the 35th time in a year that a citizen as protected their liberty with the 2nd Admendment within the City of Detroit, and of these times mentioned the perps all ended up working the night shift..

Maybe their are some pressures from Detroit and Law Inforcement not to give this additional visibility because of this trend...

"I'm not comfortable with it at all because I had a son that was murdered in 2010,"

I truly feel sorry for this guy and the rest of the law abiding citizens who are trapped in this city, the majority of whom are the elderly whose houses can't be sold and have no money in which to purchase another outside of the city.

FWIW, having spent 35 years in a plant on Detroit's east side, I know at least a dozen employees who have been murdered during my time there.......Of the last two, one was robbed and shot down two months before our plant closed in Dec. 2006 and the other was a guy who retired a year before and was found stabbed to death in his apartment in approx. Jan. 2007........

Grampa’s 50 cent bullet has done more for society than 99% of politicians.

This thug would have probably killed a few productive people and cost his victims/taxpayers millions over his lifetime. Not to mention the damages from his future feral children, grandchildren, etc. Now he's 6 feet under with the most minimal of expense.

I wish I could donate to get this guy a shotgun. I have a feeling the ‘youths’ will come back after they hear his gun is gone.

They have to both be black. There aren’t any whites left in Detroit.

White Kills Black Youth

By golly, you're right. That would be their choice of words for sure.

Sure was nice of them putting the guys address in the story. Really necessary.

They should have to give him a loaner if they take his weapon. They leave him defenseless. And the mdeia lets everyone know he is now unarmed. This is just not right to do to the victim. It’s like publishing the address and home phone of a rape victim and where they work.

That would be my guess. There is no political value in black on black crime.

"Police did confiscate White’s gun as part of their > investigation. That’s usual procedure." The popos need to provide a loaner, range time and collateral if they want the gun.

Exactly. Now, when the criminal's associates and relatives might be looking for revenge, it is important that the defender not be disarmed.

Cops shouldn't be able to confiscate your gun(s).

At a minimum they should provide a replacement of the same cartridge or have to provide ammo in addition to a similar weapon. They'd be more likely to return your weapon (and sooner) if you had one of their's.
