Maybe the most blatant police shooting of an unarmed man to date. They don't even check on the guy for nearly 3 minutes after they've shot him. Tough to not call this murder. Multiple videos and angles if you look online.

Is there a more deplorable crime than killing a toddler?
Put him in a cell with pictures of the baby and put a barbed wire noose on a stool in the middle of the room.

That is infuriating. What kind of person would do that?

Internet, do your thing!

Before the pitchforks come out, is there any other source of this story that maybe describes what the hell happened? I am personally sick of stories that are based on peoples perception of what they think happened. The emotionally charged language with little context or foundation is getting out of hand.

It's like the Calgary Transit story - where the driver "abandoned" the passengers at night, until you actually get the real story that the driver stayed on the train and people weren't abandoned - they just had to wait 15 minutes for his replacement driver to arrive.

This is going to sound so cliche. But as a father of an 8 month old now, it actually makes me ill reading that. It annoyed me when I read that from other people but I actually had to stop reading the article.

wtf.

Sickening. I feel like vomitting after reading that.

Isn't it great that we have social media to capture instances of people being mean or inconsiderate... and then make those people pay, and pay dearly, for their transgressions.

Yeah. People are responding as if this was the kid's only opportunity in front of the microphone, and it was snatched away from him. If people watch the whole video on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RggF6RShqWo (yeah, I wasted 12 minutes of my life), he is fully participating in the whole concert. And maybe its just me, but when the one kid said "Thanks for coming", that's usually signifies the end. I doubt there were any other lines to be said, and definitely nobody was discriminating against him because he was autistic. Would they have just discriminated at that one part, and not the rest of the concert where he was saying his lines?

I think its just parents trying to cash in, to be honest. Crowdfunded trip for the family to Disneyworld in 3-2-1.....

The dumbest thing about this is this wasn't from character constraints, there is room for 17 more characters to easily have "black people" instead of "blacks".

Actually it should just read people in my opinion.

Considering the hate crime aspect of his crime is the reason he's facing the death penalty I think the race of his victims is relevant.

I hope this doesn't seem like a hack on you for posting it, but that video seems to have been put together to make Americans look crazy.
