When the good guy with a gun is black, he's shit out of luck.
Security guard Jemel Roberson, and teenager Emantic Bradford Jr. were both licensed to carry weapons, and Roberson was actively engaged in subduing a gunman. Both of them were gunned down by cops.
I swear, if Johnny "Applecheeks" Roberts and the rest of the cons on the SCOTUS hadn't told me that racism is no longer an issue (as they were busy gutting the Voting Rights Act); I might be tempted to think that we still have real issues in this country.
Of course, I'm just another whiny lib playing the "race card".

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
