Tell me more about the protests. And, like, how many people are there, how many should be there, how I can join? ANYTHING to make the news more worthy.

There’s only outrage when a black kid is shot. Yet, when little black punk thugs beat up or murder people, nobody cares about those victims. It’s wrong either way, for anyone to be attacked or shot or murdered, regardless of their race. MSM news is racist.

The shooter must be charged. Why have a gun if you are afraid? Your fear of black people is no justification to shoot and kill them.

It’s time for African Americans everywhere to walk away from the plantation of the Democratic Party and thieves like TheRevAl & BLM that steal from them! They haven’t done 💩 for them but take their $ and hold them down! dnc

What actually happened. There’s no details about the event. He literally knocked on the door and was instantly shot?

Since 1920's to date, some White people in the🇺🇸still have colonial era attitude towards black skin colored people. A system of all black skin people have no rights to live, but to be killed just like that. For God's sake a 16 years old boy shot just for mistaking the right🏡?

Can’t unsee it

Accidentally driving in the wrong lane and getting shot, accidentally ringing the doorbell and getting shot, I don't understand why there are still people who don't admit that the reason they died was because of gun freedom

Shooter should be arrested. Ridiculous. Miracle he made it!

Truly awful and I hope he gets Justice. That said, quit cherry picking and be consistent.

I’ll wait for a few more facts to change.

Still trying to figure out if rang doorbell or entered home? MSM is so intentionally confusing.

Justice needs to be done

Fake tweets saying he tried to open the door gtfoh, it’s like a food delivery driver from door dash and Uber eats delivering to the wrong address with all the porch lights off and we trying to figure out which house is it but in their profiles says ring door bell or knock on door

Awful.

As they should! A kid shouldn’t get shot/killed for ringing a FUQQING doorbell.

I need a Pic of the Shooter…

This is absolutely disgusting. That racist old man should never see the light of day again. Prosecute him. Toss him in prison. Lose the key.

How long until we get a story that isn’t from his auntie?

What we know about the shooting of Ralph YarlA white man in Kansas City, Mo., shot a Black teenager who mistakenly rang the doorbell at the wrong house to pick up his siblings, the teen’s attorneys say. Here's what we know so far. Disturbing that you can shoot someone for just knocking on your door. Why is he still free? We put too much emphasis into whether the shooting was racially motivated or not and too little in stopping idiots from shooting people. Who cares what their colors were? But the shooter remains free and that's the problem.
