Obligatory. I love The Boondocks.

how about jezebel spends that 10k on a nonwhite writer of their very own!

Quite the telling misread in a very telling (and obviously knee-jerk) comment, eh?

I wrote "nonwhite," not "black."

How about adding that $10,000 to a kickstarter so Dunham can hire a nonwhite writer?

" But opening his door is not a crime, so if she did something (like try to enter) he had a right to self-defense."

I honestly cannot understand how these people start these behaviors in the first place.

But, hey, sometimes a woman just wants to Pampered!

Urine agreement with a lot of people on that one.

Nope, don't believe a word of it. Fame whores will do and say anything to get on TV.

Oh, come on. She's obviously full of shit.

For everyone saying that we should withhold judgment until we know more: no. He acted unreasonably and disproportionately to the "threat." For some context: my parents live across the street from an entrance to a park/trail system. About a mile away, a psychiatric hospital (right term?) is also adjacent to the trail…

Even if she was trying to enter the house, close the door. Every screen door I've ever seen opens out, every door I've ever seen opens in. Screen door was closed, he shot her through that door. That means he had time to close the inner door. And then call the cops.

If someone is knocking on your door in the middle of the night and you're scared YOU DIAL 911 AND HIDE IN A CLOSET CLUTCHING YOUR GUN UNTIL SUCH A TIME AS THE SCARY PERSON FORCES THEIR WAY INTO YOUR HOME AND POSES A DIRECT THREAT TO YOU AND YOUR PROPERTY. YOU DON'T ANSWER THE DOOR WITH A GUN WHEN YOU'RE SCARED. That…

I think you've made a very good point here—the gun advocates on FOX and elsewhere have convinced a certain type of person that shooting a person in this type of situation, especially a non-white person, is a perfectly valid response. Why? Because of what the shooter perceives that person might have done. It's…

You should have seen Nancy Grace's face when they mentioned weed, she is so ridiculous though. I hope the Jury isn't full of fools this time.

Even with the doubt you present, he should be held responsible for unleashing an unnecessary amount of force for the situation, with plenty of other easy options available.

That was .218 hours after the accident. We can only know what her BAC was at the time of the accident.

HOWEVER, this guy chose to open the door. He could have sat in his house and called the police, who would have responded because Dearborn Heights has better public safety services than Detroit (where the accident…

But "what you can to keep him out" should mean leaving the door locked, yelling at him to go away and calling 911. Not opening the door, killing him, and then claiming you were somehow scared enough to justify shooting, but not too scared to unlock the door.

I am also worried. I sadly think he is going to walk.
