An emotional response to a tragedy and an arguably unjust verdict is identity politics and culture war? Are you guys seriously this callous?

While the actual verdict may have come down to reasonable doubt over Stanley’s story and inconsistent witness testimony, this whole incident is frought with racial undertones and to deny this is to be blind or willfully ignorant.

I think one can look at the evidence presented and logically understand how the jury reached its decision, while also understanding the sadness, disappointment, and anger felt by the victim’s family and the community at large.
They were crimanials in the midsts of committing crimes while doing it drunk with a loaded rifle ( which they had all ready used to try and steal a truck)in the vechile. These are facts. Hard for me to empathize no matter what race they are .
