First claim to police was he was threatened. In court December 14th, his lawyer claimed he thought the victim was a thief.

This guy seems the same.

I guess that's why they have fallen for 25 years of "THAY R COMMIN' FUR ARE GUNZ!" propaganda.

Of course there is no justification. Better to argue diminished capacity.

So sick of the fact that black people can’t do normal things like stay at an Airbnb or use a cell phone or ride a bicycle or knock on a door or shop for a house or sometimes just be sitting in their own living room without getting SHOT.

I’m white and I’m sick of reading about ot, I don’t have to live it.

Dumb racist dumbasses make this world s*ck.
