ugly stick. but with that being said, it s hard for me to see. someone who was born and what the forties as a white person growing up in american society. your city the last three years has had a lot of violence and it s 10 o clock at night, and there s this black man as far as you can tell, standing at your door and you re afraid as a white man who s in your eighties. i can see that perspective of it. and also part of that is all the fn racism that informed that white man to make him think that he was okay to pull the trigger to show up to the door with the gun to begin with when someone rings your doorbell. who does that? heaven racism absolutely was involved. let s just call a spade a spade here. what i want to know is why did he feel the need to have what appears to be readily accessible hand gun and shoot him through a glass door? he didn t call the cops. he didn t even after shooting him.
