Black teenager, Ralph Yarl, was shot and seriously wounded for ringing the wrong doorbell

The attacker was white, and has been released without charge.

So, SWers, what did he do to deserve this?

@OogieBoogie where else, sadly...
@SW-User This is NUTZ!
In Australia this would be plastered over every front page in the country.
Itd be considered 'use of overt force', and the shooter would be jist about guaranteed of being found guilty of murder, if not mans slaughter.

God i weep for Americans....it must be awful to live in a culture like this.😔

@OogieBoogie America has two main problems. It cannot accept that it is riddled with racism, and it cannot accept any form of gun control.
@SW-User The thing that worries me most is: I dont see it ever getting solved, its gone too far.

Racism should have ended decades ago. Gun laws should have been implemented decades ago.
But both have become so culturally ingrained theyve become social bleeding wounds that will never heal.

@OogieBoogie I have to agree. Especially the issue of guns. No matter how many school shootings there are, nothing will change; the NRA is too powerful.
