A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.
"When government fears the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny."
A lie doesn't become the truth, wrong doesn't become right, and evil doesn't become good just because it is accepted by a majority.

I think his point is that neighborhoods close to exclusive country clubs tend to be more affluent and generally have less crime than neighborhoods not close to exclusive country clubs. The murderer who shot the son of Ms. McBath claimed that he felt "threatened" by the kids because of their race -- despite the fact that the gas station was located by the country club. That's the part where racism comes into play in this tragic story.

Just because it's called a country club doesn't mean it's exclusive. I have been a member of country clubs that were open to the general public. And were not located in exclusive areas, Phoenix Az. is an example. Many whites are intimidated by groups of young blacks. So there is nothing odd or special about this shooting. One thing I am sure of is there was an altercation of some sort. I'm sure the boy wasn't shot because he was playing loud music. In short to say because it was near a country club and blacks were involved made it a racist statement.
What a terrifying and chilling statement. Random white guy freaks out over black kids playing loud music, claims he felt threatened, shoots indiscriminately and kills one of the kids. This isn't odd or "special", it's perfectly normal? According to reports there was an "altercation" over the music volume, and that's when the murdered pulled out his piece and started shooting at the car. He drove away and didn't report it to the police.

What makes this any different than what happens almost daily in the nations inner cities? Having been around teen boys black and white. You can rest assured that when the shooter complained he was threatened in one way or another. Not to the point to use deadly force so clearly he over reacted.

Well golly gee, aren't you BRILLIANT. Thank GOD many of those 'black and brown' kids don't have CARS or bus fare, they might spread MURDER to a neighborhood like yours. Pack em in, 'red line' them, make guns easier to buy than a FRESH TOMATO and watch them KILL EACH OTHER and claim it is ALL THEIR FAULT.
The fucking stupidity on this board is galactic.

Drove 4 hours away. This happened just AFTER leaving his ESTRANGED KID'S wedding (at least estranged before the wedding) where he consumed at least some alcohol and bought beer as I remember at the gas station. I also believe he had his girlfriend in the car.
Why do you suppose he was estranged from his kid? Why the F did his girlfriend drive off with him?

And the vast majority of these type killings are over reaction, but people in fear of their life real or imagined will over react. The thing that makes this different is he shot into the car indicating he really wasn't in danger. But it took two trials to find him guilty of 1st degree murder.
Didn't say that! If I approach you in a threating manner while holding a weapon of some type gun, knife, bat, fist raised what ever then under Fla. law you can shoot. But you better be damned sure you can prove you were in danger.
If I threaten to whip your ass then no you can't shoot. Get it?
