I 'temporarily' allowed moveon.org with NoScript. No problem, but the video made me cry.

I think the young man was guilty for walking because he was black. Simple as that.

will get involved. And it looks like even the local powers are asking for Federal assistance.

But if he were wearing a cop's uniform that night, there would be people here defending his actions.

I think this man has a hair trigger and should never work for any police department. The gated community should be sued for letting someone like this without doing a background check. They should be made to pay for the child's funeral at least. I would also sue the man who killed him.

The shooter belongs in prison for a long, long time.
