I THINK THIS IS A WRONGFUL CONVICTION. THIS WHOLE THING WAS MOTIVATED BY RACE. OF THIS HAD BEEN A BLACK MAN THAT SHOT AT 4 WHITE BOYS COMING OFF AS GANGSTERS AND THREATENED THE MAN THIS WOULD'VE HAD A DIFFERENT OUTCOME. THE BOY WAS CUSSING AND THREATENING THE GUY AND THEY ARE BLASTING GANGSTER RAP. THEY WAS POLITELY ASKED TO TURN IT DOWN AND IT WAS. BUT THE BOY IN THE BACK STARTED RUNNING HIS MOUTH AND THAT ESCALATED IT. HE STARTS CUSSING THE MAN AND THREATENING HIM. THEN REACHES FOR SOMETHING IN THE FLOORBOARD AND SAYS HE'S GOING TO KILL THE MAN. THE MAN PULLS HIS GUN AND SHOOTS HIM. THEY LEAVE THE SCENE AND COME BACK LATER. THE POLICE DIDN'T CHECK THE NEIGHBORHOOD FOR ANY WEAPONS OF EVIDENCE. EBEN THE BOYS FATHER SAID THAT HE TOLD HIS SON TO WATCH HIS MOUTH BECAUSE THEY ARE CONCECENCES TO YOUR STATEMENTS AND ACTIONS. SO OBVIOUSLY THIS KID DID ALOT OF SMARTING OFF TO PEOPLE AND TALKING SHIT! I'M NOT BLACK OR WHITE SO DON'T START ATTACKING ME FOR SPEAKING WHAT I GATHERED. THOSE BOYS ACTED LIKE GANG MEMBERS AND WAS BLASTING GANGSTER RAP. AND THEN THREATEN THE MAN. AND WHEN ONE SAYS HE'S GOING TO KILL YOU AND STATES EXITING THE VEHICLE ARE YOU GOING TO WAIT TO GET SHOT OR ARE GOING TO FIRE BEFORE THEY CAN ON YOU? AND LIKE I SAID IN THE BEGINNING, IF THIS WAS 4 WHITE BOY GANGSTERS AND THEY THREATEN A BLACK MAN WHILE LISTENING TO GANGSTER RAP AND BEING TOLD THAT HE'S GOING TO BE ERASED, SHOT, KILLED OR WHATEVER AND THEY START EXITING THE VEHICLE AND YOUR ALONE. WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO DO? SHOOT THOSE 4 WHITE BOYS OR ONE OR WAIT AND SEE IF THEY'RE THAT IS GOING TO RING TRUE. COPS SHOOT OFF THEY THINK THEY ARE IN DANGER EVERY DAY. EVEN IF IT'S NOT A WEAPON. WHETHER THEY ARE BLACK OR WHITE. IF A THREATS BEEN MADE AND THEY FEAR THAT THEIR LIVES ARE IN DANGER AND THERE'S NO GUN, IT'S JUST PERCIEVED AS THEY ARE ARMED THEY SHOOT! JUST LIKE A BLACK, WHITE, CHINESE, JAPANESE, INDIAN OR WHATEVER WOULD DO. YOU REACT BEFORE THEY DO OR YOU'RE DEAD. THE KID/KIDS BROUGHT THIS ON AND THEY SHOULD ALL BE CHARGED. NOT THE GUY DEFENDING HIMSELF!
