I didn't hear one of the protestors today argue that the people didn't beat the kid up, they argued that he shouldn't be charged with a crime because its racist to charge black people with crimes. (Kidding here, obviously)

Protesters aside, if you were familiar with the trial, you'd hear his defense attorney argue it, and you'd see an all-white jury of his 'peers' discard it completely and convict.

The white victim, by the way, was unconciouss and hospitalized as a result.

It was "claimed" he was knocked unconcious, and his "hospitilization" amounted to an emergency room visit to treat minor cuts and abrasions.....released with a few band-aids and was at the school dance two hours later.

Notice how when the black victim claimed he was beaten by a beer bottle, you questioned the veracity and discarded it....yet when a white victim claims he was unconcious, it is somehow viewed as gospel truth?

Why is that?

What makes you inherently more trusting of one over the other, especially considering all you know about them is skin color?

According to wikipedia (and the court transcript), the white person left the scene and was followed to his car where he picked up a weapon. In an act of self defense, this is totally justified. <This is all very vague though, but it does indicate that whitey was acting in self defense, and the eye witness testimony seems to corroborate this.

The eyewitness testimony of his fellow white acquaintences, sure, I bet it does support it.

The eyewitness testimony of the black victims says something entirely different.

Odd how you choose to believe one and discard the other.

Either way, indisputable facts in evidence show that the shotgun was registered to the white assailant, but the vehicle belonged to one of his friends.

How many people keep their guns in other people's cars?

Seems far more likely a trio of hillbilly's piled in the car and brought the gun along to harass some black youths, and had to weasel their way out with the nice little cover story once they got disarmed and rebuffed.
