law simply doesn't protect him under these circumstances. yeah i'm wondering faith because i just want to go back to what we talked about. in the beginning, you said there's going to be a lot of physical healing. i don't want to get too specific. uh and be inappropriate here. um but are you saying to us that ralph is not going to be the same person that he was? before is that your concern? is that what doctors are saying to you? in regards to physically. of course , that would definitely changes like he was shot in his arm. that's going to be scar tissues . there's gonna be a lot of things. he's gonna forever have a score on his head. that's going to remind him that i was shot because of the color of my skin. every time he looks in the mirror, he is going to have that reminder. every single time. yes, ralph is mobile. while he's up, he's able to walk. however if we just judge based on physical appearance to decide if someone is injured if someone is
what he said was the return. but he apparently told police this was in the charging documents was he was scared to death. when he looked at me, and he was scared to death right now we're hearing that this is a very majority white county. but we also know this. this touches on a theme. we see a lot when it comes to black children. it's called the adult fication of black children, boys and girls, especially boys. i don't actually know how tall uh, ralph , y'all don't want to find that the suspect. believed he had to be six ft. tall but there's just it's sort of a lack of familiarity. there's a general sort of societal tendency to do this to sort of i think that a black child boy or girl is much older than they actually are, and then expect them to act much more mature than they actually are. but in this case, it was really a matter of him. this just added to his fear. he thought he was looking at a grown man, and i mean a lot of black people will say, look, every a lot of people in the country are are conditioned to fear. black people, or at least
shot him again ralph struggled to several other houses where he wa finally able to get help police came and took him to th hospital so right now the community i breathing a sigh of relief from what i understand but yet, there are still som concerns about how this case was handled, and what does thi mean for children today, jus being a lock on the wrong door that this could happen to you? >> think about all the times kids ring doorbells for variety of reasons how come he could not get help at the couple of other houses? did they not answer the door they wouldn't help them, the weren't home >> it was a combination of both sometimes they did not answer, or they refused to in one case when a person di help him, he told ralph to lay on the ground of this hand behind his back. as unsettling as that may seem a young man who shot, and he still has to more or les surrender himself to prove tha he is not harmful. that he is not gonna cause any type of harm >> tell us, you mentioned it a moment ago, about this criticism. that charges were not file early, there has been delay, there has not been information
fear that it must that must be there for parents of in particular black boys that a simple mistake and often end up like this, and i'm so thankful that that ralph is seems to be on the mend. this could have ended so much more tragically, however, we know that that ralph has a long way to go before he's fully recovered, especially emotionally. and so you know again. this is a standard ground state, and i think that that unfortunately leads off into cases like this at an implicit bias, and you have a recipe for disaster. we're hearing that fear of families, not just from missouri but all across the country council member thank you for making time for us. we appreciate it. thank you very much, jim over to you. coming up . is he running for president? sources close to chris christie say he is talking to donors, now with the former governor of new jersey has to say about it.
dangerous is almost anonymous. repeated and hollywood has been repeated. and in the laws that we created, and we're just getting to a point in this country where we're trying to break that down when we're trying to adjust the reality of race and racism. but we see teams old vestiges pop your head on a daily basis. what do you think of that? he said he was scared because of ralph size. i don't understand how i really don't understand. hi how you can possibly see someone i doubt ralph is even £170. ralph is not even six. ft like ralph when you see ralph. in all of the pictures that you have seen on social media and everywhere else . i don't see how you see fear. i don't know how you can see fear. when you look at that kick, there's no way you can see fear. when you look at that kid, if you really look at him and
door. he was not in any danger because there was a glass door between him and my nephew. he shot him through the glass door . yeah say want to talk to you about that, because, according to ralph statement, he says that he did not pull on the door that lester said don't come around here. is that a valid defense? given missouri stand your ground law. no the missouri stand your ground law or even the castle doctrine, which is probably a little more appropriate given where the shooting took place. don't apply to this case for one key reason. those are self defense statutes. those are saying that you have the right to protect yourself against force exerted against you stand your ground. law says you don't have to retreat. the castle castle doctrine says you don't have to retreat back into your homes. but once you're confronted with force, you can respond with equal or even greater force. he was never in front of the force. ralph never even tried to door handle. he rang the doorbell, and he waited and he was open. the door opened and he was confronted with a man with a gun in hostility, and the
Information that police have now does not point to the shooting of 16-year-old Ralph Yarl being racially motivated, but the chief said that aspect remains under investigation.
i would assume the federal agencies will come in and maybe start helping with that part of the investigation. >> a 16-year-old's birthday party and again gun violence, now currently the ed looking cause of death for people under the age of 18 in the u.s rob da meme co-thieng for being with us. hundreds are demanding justice for a 16-year-old black boy shot last wing attorneys for ralph says he was shot in the head and in the arm when he arrived at the wrong address. the shooter was arrested and later released the suspect could be rearrested. hundreds of community members marched sunday to demand charges. >> as a mother of three children, this enrages me.
have happened. jake tapper and ralph would have been killed. are you telling me that they're saying they can't arrest the white shooter until they get a statement from the person? so if he would have been killed, so they're trying to tell us they never would have have arrested the shooter. yeah lastly, sir. before you go, i want to get your reaction to the grand jury in akron, declining to indict those eight police officers who fatally shot 25 year old jalen walker last year. what did you make of that decision? again. it's the. sad reality. we live in being black in america that police could shoot 60 times this young man who didn't kill anybody at all and it be justified, but, yeah, you have dylann roof. go into a church, shoot nine innocent people. they follow him across two states, and then they take him to get a
