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

    The self internalize surveillance state is one of the more dystopian parts of modern living. The constant fear of some nebulous unknown other is what I believe drives this frantic protection of property . especially in the suburban United States, every home owner believes their house to be a sovereign domain.

    Every outsider must have a stated, purpose and banner above their head to indicate whom they represent whether it be some Mega Corp or a Girl Scout trying to engage with the shreds of community left in the burbs. being on or near property that does not belong to you is a threat to the suburban mind everything is private. property is civilization. Occupying space on property for any reason is a declaration of war to these deranged lawn chair wannabe feudal lords.
