Well, he's seen going onto someone's private property and going inside a house under construction and looking around.  But nothing illegal with that.

Just the other day I walked onto a lot to check out the view of a home that is under construction.   Should I have been shot??  That’s sheer idiocy that this was even a thing.  The homeowner said that the guy did nothing wrong (and now he’s getting threats made against him....)

Maybe the victim is innocent and did no wrong that day before the confrontation, but he also wasn't an angel.  This case isn't as cut-and-dry and you make it seem, and it wasn't a "lynching". 


So please tell us...  what did he do wrong that would lead to needing to be shot?   Let’s not bring up the high school stupidity.  No one deserves to be shot because they did bad things as a teenager.  And try not to say stupid things like “he has a criminal history”.  He was caught for shoplifting as a teen.  And if a murderer says he investigated him years ago for something more serious, you may want to back it up with something other than the murderer’s say-so.

It also looks like shots weren't fired until the victim started running towards the shooter, and then more shots fired when there was a struggle for the gun and the victim clearly punching the shooter in the head.  They didn't just chase him down and then gun him down in cold blood like you make out.

They chased him down in a truck with their guns out.  Should he not try and fight back if thinks he has a chance to live?

Also, if you're a young black dude, don't run at white guy who has a gun pointed at you.

Get on your knees and beg?  Maybe he saw the chance to actually live if he fought back.

You need to stop victim-blaming...  and ask yourself why you’re doing that.
