It sounds like someone is trying to make a reverse Zimmerman/Trayvon thing here in AZ. IIR, the shooter was black, the shootee as white. He apparently was the aggressor. There were no arrests because the shooter was within his rights to defend himself with the use of deadly force. Doesn’t depend on skin color.
The LSM probably won’t report on it because it doesn’t fit the picture of a black person being victimized, instead, defending themselves. Can’t have that.
Adkins was developmentally disabled. The aggressor was Cordell. Adkins allegedly shouted at him after Cordell nearly hit Adkins in the parking lot. Cordell and girlfriend claimed that Adkins swung at the driver's window with a baseball bat. No weapon was found at the scene. Then Cordell decided it might have been a brown dog leash or an open hand that Adkins swung at the window. At which time Cordell shot Adkins in the chest. Shouting at someone and shooting them are NOT morally equal.
