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?

I'm not answering your loaded and insincere question.

It's being investigated. I am sure justice will prevail and I encourage you to stop doing the MSM's work and posting inflammatory and leading questions.

Nothing good will come of that.

@SumKindaMunster How odd. The MSM have come to exactly the same conclusion. This teenager did NOTHING to deserve this. The police chief also recognized the racial aspect to this case. Unless, of course, you assume that the MSM (i.e. every single credible news source) is lying, and that somehow this boy was about to assault this 86 year old poor little White man with a gun instead of collecting his siblings from a friend's house?

51-55? Yeah, 51 to 55 months, more like. Grow up!

You don't say!

It's almost like they are coordinating the narrative around this or something nutty like that, huh?

. Unless, of course, you assume that the MSM (i.e. every single credible news source) is lying

I'm not assuming its a lie. Rather, why are they making such a fuss about this one kid and this one story, when sadly black children are gunned down everyday by members of their own age and race by a wide margin.

I live outside of Philly. Kids are shot everyday by other kids.

By promoting and amplifying this story you are serving to promote the divide along with the MSM.

Nothing to be proud of, and certainly you are not helping the situation at all.

@SumKindaMunster And by the way, my question was neither loaded nor insincere.

An innocent black boy rang the doorbell of the wrong house, and was shot for his trouble. There's no alternative viewpoint; no ulterior motive on Yarl's part. Sometimes things are EXACTLY as they seem.
This is one of those times.

@SumKindaMunster They're making such a fuss about this because if this kid was white he would not have been shot.

But by all means feel free to dismiss another racially aggravated assault because kids are shooting kids of their own race.

At least we can be grateful this poor kid is not another statistic; another one of America's racially aggravated murders.

@SW-User If you read my comments, you would have noted that I did not dispute the narrative of the event.

My comments were about you using your personally curated outrage to make yourself feel superior by using this story to put other people down.

If you want to hear my point again, here ya go:

You aren't helping the situation at all, and are making it worse.

@SumKindaMunster I asked: So SWers, what did he do to deserve this?

YES I wanted outrage! He had done nothing wrong!

You don't know that and neither does anyone else.

You expect me to believe you can see through time and know how events will unfold if one variable was changed?

Don't be ridiculous.

I asked: So SWers, what did he do to deserve this?

And again, that is a pointless and loaded question.

How about, "What can we do so this doesn't happen again?"

if this kid was white he would not have been shot.

she was white, she was shot, so what did she do to deserve this ?

SW-User
@Djofull So therefore, this guy who shot Yarl was not racist just because a White woman has been shot elsewhere.

Deflection noted.
Djofull · 46-50, M
@SW-User you said if the kid was white he wouldn't be shot, she was white too
SumKindaMunster · 51-55, M
@SW-User Ya see? What good is coming of this? Anybody can easily note that White people get shot all the time and your argument is ridiculous and invalid.

@SW-User I'm not blocking you.

But I've noted you aren't capable of having a discussion about important issues without being emotionally charged by it.

Get back to us when you have a clear head.
SW-User
@SumKindaMunster there is no need to discuss this rationally. I’m not looking to discuss important issues here. There is nothing to discuss. I asked what he did to deserve this. So maybe tell me: what did he do to deserve this?

P.S. This is my post, not yours, so do not tell me to get back to us. If you want to justify this racially aggravated shooting, go make your own post and then maybe I’ll “get back to you”
SumKindaMunster · 51-55, M
@SW-User Ok well then don't expect sincere and productive answers.

Sorry for busting up your outrage circle jerk.

here is no need to discuss this rationally. I’m not looking to discuss important issues here

I'll keep that in mind the next time I see one of your posts. You aren't interested in discussion you just want people to respond so you can feel some sort of way.
