Thats horrible news, but not unexpected.. I think there is something really wrong with the legal system if killing an unarmed teenager goes without punishment.
Whether you like it or not, its the right decision. The prosecution had it's call of action and it failed just as predicted. Yes he killed the "teenager", however it was ruled in self defense which is the correct call. He admitted it. The problem here was the prosecution asking for too much and instead of going for a manslaughter charge, they wanted the murder charge which would never get through.
I have to say I agree with zritic. The case was shit, the prosecution fucked up, they should have gone for a lesser charge which might have worked. In introspect, this guys life will never be the same, he will always be known as the pussy that shot that unarmed teenager because he's a racist piece of shit.
You're kidding right? The guy instigated a racially biased attack that ended up with him getting his ass kicked but not before murdering a teenager that wanted nothing to do with this walking trash can.
Teenager... sounds so innocent. If the roles were reversed this teenager would be tried as an adult with no deliberation.
This verdict shocked me. I have lost all hope in our legal system, no justice here.
Murica'... justice in the land of the.... wait, what... so it's ok to kill kids now for having candy?
I think the media is responsible for a lot of this bullshit happening these days. People are just paranoid, over protective. As long as the media continues to demonize blacks, people will be scared, and they will do dumb shit, dumb shit like murder.
The media was the true villain in this case
