You may take this as "racist" but it's not. All I want to say is if this person wasn't of the Anglo persuasion this would not have gone this long...

and an AA doesn't even need to be armed in this country to die at the hands of the gestapo, whether shot in front or in the back this guy if AA would be dead now...this guy is white therefore ALL consideration is given to his life no matter how many shots he fired But he's white, a much more important human being than some unarmed AA who talks back to the gestapo......
