Nobody mentions that Trevon was home and could have gone inside instead of lingering outside and setting up the man who eventually shot him. What about that? He could have just gone inside. Knowing that, how does it figure that he wasn’t being aggressive?
I would think that self-defense should be a perfectly valid defense against negligent homicide if the defendant were to claim that he needed to perform some action quickly in order to save his life, and his failure to exercise what would normally be a prudent level of caution in performing such action was a consequence of that.
For example, suppose a defendant were on an elevated walkway when someone started shooting at him; the defendant shoved some obstacles off the walkway in an effort to move to a less vulnerable spot, and one of the falling objects ricocheted so as to kill the shooter. Someone who shoves things off an elevated platform without regard first ensuring they wouldn't hit anyone would generally be guilty of manslaughter, but not murder, if someone were killed by the falling objects. On the other hand, in the described scenario, the defendant's lack of care in shoving the objects should be considered justifiable given that he was being shot at.
We have a race hustler (he calls himself a community organizer!) in the White Hut and running the unJustice Department. Pimping racial hate is their stock and trade. But it is getting so obvious now that even black people are tired of the stupidity. Perhaps, just perhaps, some of the black community are beginning to realize that when little barry bastard boy accomplishes the destruction of America, there will be no more welfare doles and only death and disease will be their lot as the cities they've been imprisoned in rot the faster. Even robbing whitey int he burbs will not be enough to keep them alive long enough to beg for bread and circuses back.
We dont need you to do that.
