There must be this false perception that everyone in America is hung up on race. I wouldn't g.a.f. if he was Canadian, or even a full fledged citizen, and the color of his skin makes no difference to me.

I wouldn't think I'd have to say this, but apparently it needs to be stressed.

If it was a white guy that shot the gun and killed the woman... Just to turn the racial tables... even if the woman was black or hispanic, or whatever.... I still see what happened as a law was broken. And if that can't be "legally" argued, then I'd have to say that someone's life was taken, and someone has to be held responsible. I can't think of any other way to put it more plainly.

eta: I know. You have the argument for INTENTION to kill. It's clear he was merely negligent. But negligence doesn't mean he isn't responsible.

As for the charge against the guy? If he were charged for greater crime, then yeah. I can see that as an injustice too. Fair is fair and (fairness) should be applied to everyone.

And with that, we still have a woman that is dead. What would be fair for her?

AND, I just had the thought (you know, since I'm not the one hung up on race here), are you defending the guy because he's brown?
