Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsI don't keep up with these things, so someone in a couple of lines. The guy in Florida shot someone
because they played music?
Is anyone in it famous or is it another court case the cable news networks have ordered us to care about?

(2,672 posts)white guy wanted black males to turn down the music in their car. they didn't. he shot several shots into the car killing one (I can't remember if any others were hurt ) and he claimed 'self defense' .......'stand your ground' etc.
if this guy is let off under SYG.....it will be open season on all minorities.

Calling both victim and perpetrator both assholes lends false equivalence to having music up too loud and gunning down another human life in cold blood.

Honest question. Are you a racist?

(8,361 posts)He's from New Orleans and people there don't get outraged unless they knew the person themselves. WTF?!

(37,748 posts)You get secret orders from cable news networks...?
This admission certainly adds needed context to your posts.
RB TexLa
(17,003 posts)I had never heard of.
I know they will take cases with no known people in it and cover them as if the country is very concerned about a local crime.

(5,756 posts)It is clearly troll, flame bait. No one should be giving this person the time of day with a response other than: go pound sand you troll. The OP is such a blatant set up to start flame wars.
Just say no. Stop feeding peoples egos.
