    Once more, let me catch you in my house and I don't know you, expect to get shot. Sssspppeeee, that's why we have the,"if you are inside the house it's a righteous shoot". The victim IS the father.

    Blacks Can Murder Whites, and It Won’t Make National News
    Doug Giles | Apr 08, 2012


    http://www.theblaze.com/stories/201...-1-the-shocking-data-on-black-on-black-crime/

    Black-on-black crime is a sensitive subject in this increasingly polarized nation. While covered in academia and occasionally addressed by talking heads on television, some believe it rarely, if ever, receives the type and depth of attention it deserves. Instead, critics argue that this national tragedy is usually swept under the rug by powerful interest groups and individuals more concerned with elevating their own racially-driven agendas than addressing the real issues at hand. The Trayvon Martin case is only the most recent example of this grim hypocrisy.

    Indeed, statistics support a very different narrative than the one usually offered by “race hustlers,” as Pastor C.L. Bryant calls them, who routinely portray an America where members of the black community are selectively targeted and brutalized by white racists.

    A 2007 special report released by the Bureau of Justice Statistics, reveals that approximately 8,000 — and, in certain years, as many as 9,000 African Americans are murdered annually in the United States. This chilling figure is accompanied by another equally sobering fact, that 93% of these murders are in fact perpetrated by other blacks. The analysis, supported by FBI records, finds that in 2005 alone, for example, African Americans accounted for 49% of all homicide victims in the US — again, almost exclusively at the hands of other African Americans.

    To put these number in perspective, recall that over 6,400 U.S. service men and women have been killed in Iraq and Afghanistan combined over the course of a decade-long war fought in those nations. During the Vietnam War, which lasted nearly 13 years, some 58,000 Americans were killed — nearly 13 percent of whom were African American.

    How many of these 93% have we heard about????

    Probably because of the nature of the case, since the shooter was obviously INSANE and a drunk and the boy didn't die. The guy is scum and it was cut and dry. No questions. No mystery. Nothing to argue about or speculate about. And by the way, there are always exceptions.

    Rapists are the worst and should be shot or castrated.

    Presumably you told your daughters this, and presumably they wouldn't have pulled this stunt knowing you would shoot their boyfriends. But if this guy did NOT warn his daughter what he'd do, her behavior is predictable if not wise.

    I couldn't help but laugh when I read this... obviously you don't have kids.

    Thru out the yrs of raising kids, setting down rules, teaching your kids what's right & wrong, what's acceptable, not acceptable, disciplining when they screw up by sneaking around about something - which they all do, starting at an early age - a parent doesn't have to go thru a list of specifically stating, such as 'you cannot sneak a guy into your br in the middle of the night' b/c the 16 yr old already KNEW thru out her yrs of being raised that sneakiness of any kind would get her into trouble..... parents don't have to write out each and every 'no, no' that they're not allowed to do b/c by the age of 16, the kid already KNOWS if they have to sneak, chances are they're very much in the wrong..... like at 2 in the morning, she's helping Elroy climb in thru her br window.......

    THAT, the girl has to accept responsibility for. Actually, I feel sorry for her. Only 16 and knowing her stupid decision to sneak around, then lie to her dad caused the death of her bf. If she's basically a good kid, that's going to be rough to live with......

    So, no I don't know, but it appears you are trying to imply something racial. Typical righty.

    The capital charges allow the death penalty to be sought
    because 2 people were killed in the commission of a felony.

    He said he evaded police because he "didn't want to go to jail"
    on "kidnapping" warrants he disputed in a custody battle for one of his 6 kids.

    While I'm a supporter of stand your ground, and am so far libertarian on firearms that you'd probably have be caged, I'm not exactly sure why this is a point - nobody cares about individual crimes.

    Of course people select stories for their political value. Is this anything new? And so what?

    I guess you're trying to say that they don't really care about these people. I don't think that necessarily follows.

    1. I think both the young man and young woman are responsible for sneaking around,
    and into the man's house without his knowledge and permission. That responsibility is equal,
    they both knew they were doing this on the sly.

    2. the girl is responsible for lying and denying she knew him, after he claimed to the
    Dad that she let him in. he was telling the truth, she was either lying (or her Dad is
    lying for her to cover up), but that part was not the young man's fault if she or her dad were lying.

    3. the Dad is responsible for killing, instead of apprehending him other ways, which may or may not
    have been possible or reasonable to ask: He may have had a panic attack or condition, so he may not have had full control.
    Again the whole reason they were in the house in the first place, without his knowledge or permission,
    is both the fault of the girlfriend and boyfriend together.

    I think they could get negligence, but I don't see the Dad as wanting to commit murder.
    He may have just panicked.

    I'm sure you are right. I was a kid myself long ago. But I can guarantee you neither of my parents would EVER pull out a gun and shoot anyone, under any circumstances, for any reason. They might very well have run next door and called the police, they might have risked their lives to get their children out of harm's way. There's no question in my mind she knew she was doing something wrong, something she could not ever get her father to buy into.

    But to me, there is a clear line between a very angry father, and a father who will shoot to kill. If someone got into my house at night, I'd certainly be armed while I investigated, but I wouldn't just shoot until the intruder had had some opportunity to say something, or attempt to leave. Even though doing so would increase the risk to me.

    Sounded to me like beenthere just salivates at the though of being able to kill someone and get away with it. Maybe he's been watching too many movies.

    I am a father of daughters.
    Both are in their early 30's now, and living on their own.
    They are fantastic young women, and I am proud of both of them.

    Back in the day;
    If I were to catch a young man in my teenage daughter's room, unknown to me, and uninvited by me?
    He would have been seriously hurt. By me.

    And if he was (at that instant) somebody that she claimed not to know?
    Yeah. I would have shot him.
    In the lower abdomen, down near the genitals.

    I wouldn't care WHAT race, creed, or ethnicity he was.

    Anybody who tries to make this about race more so than about an angry, protective father
    is a fool and an intellectually-dishonest partisan tool.

    I'm not sure where you're going w/your post. I never said it wasn't the fault of the girl and as far as blaming the dead kid.... what's the point? Of course, a 17 yr old guy will agree to get together, but He paid the ultimate price for sneaking in with her permission, then she lied about not knowing him when the guy was alive...

    That girl and her father will have a heavy burden to carry for the rest of their lives.......
