They all played a role in this.Once again, if the roles were reversed, and a white man shot an unarmed black teen under these circumstances, blacks would be outraged. There would be protests, and we'd see Al Sharpton on the news every night. Black leaders would say that the kids were just there to talk, were UNARMED, and that the white guy should've called the cops. Black leaders would say, "He didn't have to shoot, the kid was unarmed", and, "He should've called the police". Honestly, I think Mr. White had every reason to get his gun out while confronting the group. Two cars pulling up to the house at night for a confrontation can be intimidating. And by the way, if this was a white man shooting a white teenager under the same circumstances, I still think a Long Island jury would've convicted him. |
