The shooter and the shootee are both black.

[PGR88]

there will be no “outrage.” The story ends here.

[bigbob]

Wouldn’t even make the news in Chicago

[gundog]

I wonder if his homeowner insurance would pay out in a civil suit. ‘Cause that’s all that matters, now.

[al baby]

so a win win

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

No car or material possession is worth a life

That is the thief's choice.

Leave other people's stuff alone.

The life you save may be your own.

[Dilbert San Diego]

He was a scholarly young man, breaking into cars at 4 am?

Maybe, just maybe, his two buddies who got away will get Scared Straight from this experience. Maybe they will think that they could be next, if they continue their criminal activities.

What is the outrage for, its it’s just another day in the big city.

[jdege]

Shooting someone to protect property is not justified.

Confronting someone who is breaking into a car, though, certainly is.

That said, if the perpetrator, on discovery, presents a deadly threat, lethal force in self defense is justified.

It’s the details that the police seem to be trying to gather that matter. Jumping to conclusions in any direction is a mistake.

My recent trip to D.C. showed that these feral animals are everywhere.

[Restless]

“He is survived by his mother and three younger siblings...”

What? No father in the picture? There’s a shocker.

[TheDon]

No condemnation of the parents in the article?

[thegagline]

Both are black so it is time to loot white, Hispanic, and Asian owned businesses.

[blackdog]

A Zimmerman noir?

[Governor Dinwiddie]

When I think about this incident, I think of the hundreds of thousands of dollars, maybe a million, this will save taxpayers.

• No legion of bastard spawn from this punk's seed.
• No EBT for this punk or his spawn.
• No expensive incarceration for this punk or his spawn.
• No murders, rapes, or robberies to be committed by this punk or his spawn.

The homeowner did society and taxpayers a tremendous favor.

[I want the USA back]

The media will drop the story or it will pretend the shooter was a Whitey.

[kiryandil]

Interesting that Marlene Lenthang and all the other Media propaganda hacks keep failing to mention that it was 3 on 1, and Trayvon Jr here was leading the pack.

[Nifster]

Young puke probably tried to beat the older man

IF he was so studious and such a good kid what was he out at night trying to break into cars gor? Didn’t he have enough homework??

[AppyPappy]

He was probably breaking into some gangbanger’s car and got what they give people.

We had some idiot breaking into cars here where people don’t always lock their cars. Sheriff caught him with the goods and drugs. He was lucky he didn’t get accidentally killed to death.

“Property is not greater than life.”

Lady, everything I own was purchased with my time, out of the limited life hours granted to me. Thieves are stealing life in incremental amounts.
