Prometheus 6

But anybody who would come to someone’s house, threaten the residents with harm, use racial or ethnic epithets and then slap a gun in defiance after being ordered to leave the property at gunpoint is crazy enough to do just about anything....

Those prosecutors say John White acted criminally and irrationally. I say it depends on what side of the threatening mob you’re on.

Damn right. Though I have no problem standing by my representing for equal protection under the law in Jena, this was some bullshit.

A bunch of white guys show up at your house after 11 p.m., cursing, calling your 20-year-old son the N-word and threatening to kill him. You take your .32 Beretta, go outside and order the mob off your property.

Instead of leaving, one of the white guys slaps the gun in defiance. What do you do?
