Valid point, and due to the ratio of a certain race of Americans committing these crimes....this community will be profiled. I will freely admit that I am far more likely to react to an African American male at my door with caution than anyone else......as I see logical reason to be more attuned to threat.
The woman in the OP is a woman. This thread is about a woman. You didn't answer my question. 2. They have the least political power or representation of any groups.
I don't need to provide proof, because your beliefs are irrelevant. But I know this because I read studies. Try it. People will usually knock on a door if they are worried someone might be home. Other times they will knock on a door or window to see if a dog barks. Home invasions require a knock so someone will come unlock the door. And this was the Detroit Metro Area after all. Common sense should tell you that people don't usually just walk into a house "hoping" no one is there... including a pair of rottweilers. "Should". - - - Updated - - - Yeah, stealthiness, lol. Especially in those home invasions where intimidation is the controlling factor. Watch a little less Pink Panther and more news, Einstein.
You're wasting your time on me. Like 99% of the nation who has forgotten the dead kid's name, I am over it. Shot in self defense, no matter how much you want to rewrite the events. Just do it elsewhere.
What you consider common sense is proof of nothing, but since you brought it up, doesn't common sense indicate that "home invations" (why move the goal posts when you can just change the topic all together, then pretend it is somehow relevant?) are generally not performed by solitary injured and bleeding young girls? The straws you are grasping at do not even exist.
This event was no doubt another case of a lack of communication. The vast majority of legal and squeamish conservative gun owners would not shoot anyone anyway. And, that's good. People shouldn't shoot other people. Instead they should try to establish a dialogue with offenders and offer them milk, cookies and soothing conversation. Kumbaya.
Exactly. And it will be interesting if the shooter is Arabic and or Muslim. What will racially motivated loons do then ? Who to choose... who to choose....
Of course you are over it, it wasn't your child needlessly gunned down by a bloodthirstyt cop wannabe.
Riiiiigghhhttt, so where physical intimidation is the controlling factor the burglars obviously would of course knock on the door first rather break in. Obviously.
And I would be willing to bet that that is why he got nervously defensive. History of the neighborhood... and not that he was just waiting for some black kid to come to his door so he could shoot them. Seems some people are leaning that way, as they did with GZ. - - - Updated - - - The statement that was being responded to was "blacks" in general. Not "black women". Read. Well Sherlock, it wasn't me you were asking. Lol...
My comment had nothing to do with the girl or her fate. It had everything to do with why the neighborhoods there are so defensive and afraid. Please.... learn to follow a freakin' conversation.
If the shooter is white, then this may end up being the new "Trevyon Martin" story If the shooter is Arabic or black then it'll probably be forgotten within a week
Thank you for admitting your comment was irrelevant. It had nothing to do with an injured woman getting shot in the face. Please....lean to stay on topic.
It will be forgotten soon regardless. The black leaders and the President don't have the interest or energy to motivate another politicized death-rally. Obama was made to look stupid for giving his racial input and the others are just old. Plus it's winter and ain't no way in hell that particular group is going to stand outside for the press opportunities. The fact is, the shooting was careless and wrong and the guy will be prosecuted. Kym Worthy won't allow it to happen any other way. - - - Updated - - - If nonsense is all you have to offer, why not dramatically put me on your fake ignore also.
Yeah, I can tell you they surely don't begin with a 19 year old women knocking on a front door asking for help after getting in a car accident. But you have to give props to the homeowner. In the .0005% chance she was going to attempt to rob their house, the homeowner and his shotgun put an end to that.
Yes, I already get that the homeowner should have known who was at his door at 3:40 in the morning when being wakened from his sleep and he picked up his shotgun. We get it.... he should have read his future, etc. ffs, is there any common sense ? Do you know what it's like to live in a neighborhood with break ins, home invasions and burglaries, from a certain segment of the local population... and to wake up in the middle of the night with someone banging on your door ? I have a feeling it is probably pretty scary at times. Not that this should matter to you, because you would rather just find fault with others.
There was a small group out of Flint, MI a couple years ago where the women, standing alone on the porch, would knock on peoples' doors and act as if she wanted to try and sell them some new cleaning formula. This took place in surrounding cities, mostly because there is nothing left for them to steal in Flint. When the people opened their door, she sprayed them in the face and the chemicals blinded them temporarily (mace or something) and a couple men would then force their way in and rob them while holding them at gun point. None of this matters though, because it's the real world. These people here would rather avoid the real world, and argue that the homeowner should have read this woman's mind, while he was still half asleep. Monday-Morning Quarterbacking (10 days later actually) is always the most reasonable way to argue, eh.
Alarm the authorities? You are clueless. In the parts of America occupied by Obama voters the authorities are so overcome by lawlessness that it might take an hour or more to respond to a 911 call.
Not long ago you and I would have said it would be impossible that we could be ordered by the U.S. government to purchase health insurance that we did not want. We would have assumed that a Republican dominated Supreme Court would have struck down any such law. Look at how that turned out. All it takes are enough laws being passed one after the other and then eventually even the Constitution gets taken for a ride. It's just a feeling I have based on certain trends.
