I assume Piers had him on to talk about the trial and he wouldn't even touch it. What was his point? That the black community has significant issues like black on black violence and teenage pregnancy? That treating a group like victims actually hurts them in the long run? Those are all good points but they have NOTHING to do with this case. People are talking about the case because it's in a legal grey area wrt to a controversial law and there are some racial undertones. I happen to find it a very interesting debate. Does Elder want the media to talk about every single death in the USA before they can talk about this case? The issue is about self defense laws and the trial in a vacuum. What happens in Chicago or any other city is really irrelevant.
