A black bourgeoisie perspective on U.S. politics
Originally saw this case on Prometheus 6.
A commentary at Black America Web opens with this:
A bunch of white guys show up at your house after 11 p.m., cursing, calling your 20-year-old son the N-word and threatening to kill him. You take your .32 Beretta, go outside and order the mob off your property.
Instead of leaving, one of the white guys slaps the gun in defiance. What do you do?
John H. White, a resident of Riverhead, N.Y., said he knew what he had to do. On Aug. 9, 2006, White found himself and his son Aaron faced with precisely the scenario described above. Daniel Cicciaro, 17 years old, was the white kid who slapped the gun in White’s hand. White shot Cicciaro in the face, fatally wounding him.
Three days before Christmas, a jury of 11 whites and one black in Suffolk County, N.Y., found White guilty of second-degree manslaughter.
You read right. They come onto his property; threaten his child. Don’t leave after KNOWING that there is a gun. One of them gets killed, and JOHN WHITE is the one who was found guilty?
WTF?
WTF?
The man in Texas kills 2 who weren’t even breaking into HIS house, but his NEIGHBOR’S house…not charged.
This Black man is on HIS property, protecting HIS child, from a White mob spewing racial epithets at him….and he’s been found GUILTY?
WHAT THE #*$&?
Where the hell is the National Rifle Association?
Where the hell are all those Second Amendment fanatics?
Where the hell are all those Property Rights fanatics?
Is anyone going to sit here and tell me that a WHITE MAN…
if FIVE BLACK GUYS showed up at his house…
AT NIGHT….
and after you’ve told them about the gun, they don’t go away and you shoot them would ACTUALLY BE CHARGED?
Show me the case.
And, where the hell are our ‘ so-called’ LEADERS?
