white Man, 76, to stand trial for shooting black neighbor, 13, he accused of burglary | |
Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 42318678 United States 07/16/2013 10:39 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | A trial of 76-year-old white man accused of shooting to death his black 13-year-old neighbor in front of his mother is set to begin this week. Some have likened the shooting of Darius Simmons, 13, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin as 'vigilantism and rogue police behavior' and similar in to the killing in Florida of Trayvon Martin. In both cases, an older man allegedly killed a black teen because the shooter believed they were suspicious. On trial: John Henry Spooner was charged with first-degree murder Police say John Henry Spooner shot Simmons last May after accusing the boy of stealing $3,000 worth of guns from his home. The teen, who had lived with his mother next door to Spooner for only a month, was taking out the trash around 10 a.m. when Spooner accused the boy of the theft and demanded he return the shotguns. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 18416878 like the old man needed a shotgun on a 13 year old kid Old people cant take a beating, even being pushed can break them in half or render them crippled. The old dude was wrong in shooting someone with no proof and no attack evident although if the kid made imminent threats of attacking the man that changes things towards justifiable. No attack, no shooting. This isnt difficult to understand. |

Its sad but I don't think these blacks know we've tolerated their jungle behaviour long enough. People will stand up now..

This was a racist act plain and simple. he had no proof he stole the guns, yeah he might have been in his house but what evidence did the man have? and then 2 days later he just walks up to him demanding him to give something he never took.. and then shoots him right in front of his mother.. This is straight up murder, there's nothing similar to zimmerman... |

However, ANYONE or GROUP that takes one step toward my family, friends, or neighbors will feel citizen power. |

Has zero similarities with the Zimmer case. And yes the asshole should go to jail If the evidence shows that he is guilty. Not because he happens to be a particular color. |
