Already, another Trayvon Martin incident has just happened
Merritt Landry shot a 14-year-old boy who was standing near his car. He shot the young teen in the head. Merritt Landry has been booked with attempted second degree murder.
This comes less than two weeks after the Trayvon Martin verdict.
“A Marigny homeowner has been booked with attempted second-degree murder after he shot a 14-year-old boy in the head early Friday, police said. The homeowner’s friends and neighbors said the owner believed the teen was an intruder. The teenager remains hospitalized in critical condition, police said.
New Orleans police arrested Merritt Landry, 33, a building inspector for the Historic District Landmarks Commission, after conducting multiple interviews and reviewing crime scene evidence, including a single spent casing at the scene, NOPD spokeswoman Remi Braden said.
Police said the teen was near Landry’s vehicle when he was shot. Landry’s friends said the vehicle was in the driveway behind a gate just a few feet from the house’s backdoor.
Landry’s attorneys, Michael Kennedy and Miles Swanson, issued a statement after the arrest saying, “This incident is terrible, and Mr. Landry feels terrible about how things have occurred. Nevertheless, we remain convinced our client has done nothing wrong, and we are sure — as facts come to light — it’ll become clear that Mr. Landry will be fully exonerated of any wrongdoing.â€"

Here we go again, the DUmmies are already jumping to conclusions and ready to start throwing their usual fits.
From the article, Earlier in the evening, a different neighbor said, the teen in the blue tank top had been biking around the area around 8 p.m. and the neighbor believed he was looking at different houses.
"I thought about calling the cops, but the last thing I want to do is racially profile a little kid who's just biking," said the neighbor, who spoke on condition of anonymity. The neighbor and Landry are white; the two teens are black.
That's right the neighbor was more concerned about the kid's skin color than what he was doing. If someone looks like they are doing something wrong in a neighborhood people will be afraid to call the police if the kid is black. That is just insane.

If one guy can do it, anyone can... and the lawyers will hop right on the wagon. It's become, "Shoot anything that moves!". I think it is worse now than in the old wild west.
:whatever:

20. That is the problem with the NRA-Alec version of self defense
Any shit bag who automatically thinks a black kid is a criminal shoots him. We can only hope this one doesn't get away with it.
:whatever:

This isn't like the Trayvon Martin Case.
Trayvon was walking through a community on public property, community property or whatever. He was stalked and followed. He wasn't in someone's yard sneaking around.
All the details aren't clear yet but this kid went into someone's gated yard at night. True, the guy didn't have to go to the extreme of shooting the kid but if people are sneaking around on your property you shouldn't be compared to Zimmerman, although I will admit the guy sounds like the same type of Zimmerman personality reacting like he did.
Now, if this guy was out walking on the street with his gun and shot at these kids because he thought they were up to something then that would be another Zimmerman.
Everyone needs to respect other's property. Kids shouldn't be so stupid to go into people's yards at night. Not with all the gun toting paranoid loons holed up inside their compounds.
I'm angry at the Zimmerman verdict. But kids need to realize what the boundaries are and going into someone's gated yard at night just isn't smart.
It's all common sense. We'll have to see what the details are.
Since when have any of you goons waited for the details? You see a story on the tee vee or read it on the internets, you look at the color of the people involved and immediately make your judgement based on that, and that alone.

10. So this is the get off my lawn, but with guns?
:whatever:
It looks like the kid hopped the fence and the guy who live there shot his ass. That is all that is really known and already the DUmmies have made the judgment that the white guy is guilty and a racist. Like always they don't wait for any of the facts to come out, they see a creepy ass cracker shooting a black youth, who is innocent by default, and rush to judgment.
It is a big thread already, but I haven't seen anyone mention the fact that as of last night the kid was still alive in critical condition at the hospital, according to the article. It even said he was being charged for attempted second degree murder. I haven't seen any updates saying that he has died since. That tells me none of them idiots even looked at the article, they read the OP and immediately jumped on the bandwagon.
Okay I found all the posts that mentioned what he was charged with.

90. You don't know what the kid was looking for

So why don't you wait for facts before blaming another child for his own murder or attempted murder.
If the CHILD had been an actual threat, the killer would not be charged.
Still calls him a killer, she worded it in a way that wasn't clearly stating that the charges were for attempted murder.
Star Member BainsBane (13,854 posts)
94. Let's make clear what we do know
We know a boy was shot and is in critical condition, and the shooter is charged with attempted murder. We do not KNOW what the CHILD was doing other than he was in the killer's yard. If he had been an actual threat, the shooter would no be charged.
If the facts are so clear that deadly force was unwarranted, you can stop blaming a fourteen year old boy for his own shooting now.

92. This has nothing at all to do with SYG
If there's any law that covers what he did it's basic Castle doctrine. This was his own gated property, not out in public.
That said, it's nuts that he shot the kid just because he hopped the fence and was in his yard. Yeah, the kid was probably up to no good intending to steal or vandalize something, but that's not a good reason to shoot them. He probably could have just hollered out the window at kid, and the kid finding himself discovered would likely have tried to run away. There's just no reason to kill someone that comes onto your property without some actual REASONABLE fear that they're going to attempt to break into your home and harm you or someone else in the home. Seeing as he's charged with attempted murder the police saw some kind of evidence on his surveillance tape that showed he didn't have any such reasonable fear. Castle doctrine doesn't cover someone killing a person just going into their yard... there has to be an actual reasonable threat.

237. What. The. ****.
Are you ****ing serious? What was he supposed to DO??? How about yell at the kid to get out of his yard and that he's armed? Jesus Christ on a cracker, there is NO justification for shooting someone just because they are in your ****ing yard! ZERO. They are no threat to you. You are not in any danger of imminent death or great bodily harm to yourself or someone else, and that is the ONLY reason it is EVER justifiable to shoot someone. EVER.
The kid only trespassed on his property and may have had every reasonable reason to do so. Maybe he lost a ball in the guy's yard. Maybe his dog went through his iron fence rails into his yard. Maybe he was intending on stealing or vandalizing his property, but he guy shot him before the kid ever DID anything other than hop his fence into his yard for what reason he knew not and he ****ing SHOT HIM. He committed no crime. He most certainly committed no crime worthy of being shot.
Holy crap, I can't even believe you or anyone thinks it's justifiable to ****ing SHOOT someone just for trespassing on your yard! Please God I hope you don't ****ing own a gun because it sure sounds like you'd plug some teenager just for losing their ball on your lawn or wanting to knock on your door seeking some kind of help or whatever. The guy's an attempted murdering ****ing trigger happy ASSWIPE which is exactly why he was arrested. And you think what he did is REASONABLE??? You think what he did is legal or should be legal??? You honestly don't know what else he could have done??? He couldn't call the police? He couldn't yell at the kid to get off his lawn? He couldn't warn the kid that he saw him and that he was armed and WAITED TO SEE WHAT THE KID WOULD DO??? A kid that just hops his fence onto his lawn and doesn't DO anything else is just fine to SHOOT???
So the kid is still alive, according to any information that I can find, yet the DUmmies never mention the fact that he is, they show no concern for his well being, no white light or pictures of their hands for him to recover from his wounds.

It the DUmmie-goon world, it is always necessary for the violated to be prudent and respectful of life, while the violator is under no obligation to respect law, property, or the possibility he is risking his worthless criminal ass.

:Jugs :yahoo: needs to provide a more reliable link, than the one she posted.
Perhaps then, people could draw a more intelligent conclusion.

14 years old, in someone else's yard at 2 AM? if the "child" was innocent, he would be home in bed.
Its pretty obvious to anyone with a brain, that the "child" is a crook.

Thanks to our wonderful "edukashun" system, the poor child couldn't read the warning sign at the gate he jumped, even at 14.

Every shooting of a black by a white now is going to be the result of Zimmerman going free according to the hysterical ninnies at DU. No one ever got shot before Zimmerman The Hun dispatched St. Trayvon to Skittles Heaven.

How do you know, at 2:00 am, who is in your yard and what their purpose is? Should property owners be required to submit a 4 page questionnaire about a trespassers purpose before defending their property or life?

Bullets shouldn't be so racist. If they are shot at a black criminal they should be designed to bounce off, or curve around the intended victim. I might have to ban the word bullet as a result.

389. The shooter fulfilled the gun nut dream
of killing a young black male, just like their hero Zimmy. It's also possible he felt embolden in shooting the boy because of Z's acquittal.
-
Correct me if I'm wrong but do I detect a panting desire among the DUmmies for white folkes to shoot black folkes.
They seem to get some strange sort of satisfaction out of it.
-
It invaded private property...it got what it deserved.
-
Yeah, I've already heard about this case. The "teen" had another teen as a lookout, and one of the neighbors has a tape of them scaling the fences. The one shot in the head already has a criminal record for burglery.

Have we gotten a response yet from the DUmp about all the black kids who were killed in Chicago during the Zimmerman trial? Or do they not matter since a white person was not the suspect?

As long as the violator happens to be a member of a protected victim group.

Blacks can do no wrong, whites can do no good. In fact Screwy Louie Farrakhan calls the white man the white devil. When you're a devil, it takes an insurmountable effort to do something good.

Well, it's nearly 9 AM here, and I H5ed dd (lower-case used to differentiate him from the 'PhDD') for the 'cursive' comment, as well.

"This is for Trayvon Martin," one of the three black men told a white man as they approached him early Saturday, according to Washington Metropolitan Police Officer Anthony Clay. [...]
The men kicked the adult white male as they took his iPhone and wallet, Clay said Sunday.
The man, who has not been publicly identified, suffered minor injuries and refused medical treatment, he said.
There have been no arrests, but police are investigating the incident as a hate crime, he said.
