:agony: :agony:

The shooting happened just days after a Black teenager in Kansas City was shot twice by a White homeowner after going to the wrong address to pick up his siblings. No words were exchanged before Andrew Lester opened fire on 16-year-old Ralph Yarl as the teen stood at Lester’s front door, according to a probable cause document obtained by CNN. Lester, who told police he thought the teen was trying to break in, faces two felony charges in the case, which has reignited the debate over so-called “stand your ground” laws.

Truly wack-ass, goddamn awful country where "shoot first, ask questions later" is taken as ethos

    Honestly I think it's a myth, god knows the number of murders (non-genocide murders) that people got away with, settler colonialism breeds a genuine demonic mindset in human beings
