Would YOU dismiss his death if he was guilty of something?

Me, nope but I also wouldn't assume he's guilty when nothing actually points to that. And you know damn well that when a victim is a criminal, public pressure to bring his killers to justice is lessened. This isn't about me, personally. And it's pretty sick of you to try and sully the victim just because racism makes you feel uncomfortable.

Of course you did because you want something to be mad about.

No, i'm saying its not worth mentioning. it shouldn't even be discussed. all it does is serve to help the murderer. Just like with Trayvon, the notion that the area had seen break ins is what people used to get ZImmerman off. They're gonna try to apply the same thing here and I'm not speaking to anyone in general when i say "fuck off" about that. Something tells me if they saw a skinhead jogging they wouldn't be afraid of burglaries. When something is obvious don't try and avoid the reality. its uncomfortable, yes, but necessary.

Now, they might have been jogging. It just isnt worth bringing that up. Its gives people the chance to say jogging while black = death penalty!!!, but it also opens you up to be completely discredited and have it all be for nothing, with racist assholes going forward using he was just jogging! in the same way they use he was a good boy he just needed money for clothes for school!.

First off, why do you care what racist assholes day?
Second, they've already decided that this shooting was justified. Nothing you say will matter to them. God himself could come down and say "Those two have killed an innocent man." and they would dismiss it. There is no point in trying to cater to them.

But also jogging while black = death? Not an incorrect statement, as proven by this very incident. So I don't see the problem with stating the facts.

Did you miss the part where the NeoShadow guy said it was felony murder, open and shut case?

Of course you did because you want something to be mad about.

buuut
he also said

The victim was almost certainly fleeing the scene of a crime

why shoulndt he be mad about this ? nothing i googled for far about this mentions the victim committed a crime

---

Hell if you watch the video, it's pretty clear the man was just jogging and not fleeing the scene of a crime.

Skinheads are mostly meth heads

People are absolutely afraid of them lol what the fuck are you talking about? Their main sources of income are selling drugs and stealing shit.

I don't know what kind of skins you're talking about lol but they sound way nicer than the ones I've run into if no one is worried about them breaking into houses.

Hell, it seems as if he was being lured to the 2 guys who were waiting for him in the truck.
In the video he appears to have been running in their direction because the third man with them, Roddy, who may be the one recording the dashcam video, was chasing him from the other side.

Ok if it is so obvious, why am I being obtuse?

I want to know what you think my motives are.

i don't think you have any motive. its just obvious you're purposely misunderstanding what i said. what i meant was if thy saw a white guy jogging they likely wouldn't have chased him down. Given what i'm hearing about how racist that area can be it is an assumption i'm making. I think its clear you understood that from my post but are either trying to catch me in a gotcha or arguing in poor faith. But lets leave it at that. I don't want to continue deflecting from the actual topic.

So you're saying, with 100% certainty, if there was a report of a skinhead breaking into shit, there is no way these two guys would not have tracked down said skinhead and it have the same result? Bullshit.

You're the one that brought white supremacist gangs into this, not me. Normal rednecks don't like the "seig heil" crazy meth rednecks. Get your head out of your ass.

jfc, fine. just replace skinhead with white person. you still know what i meant but you're fixated on that word. Sorry, i used it wrong.
