Why is this not being charged? amir locke was not the subject of the raid and it was for his cousin and he was not there, and he was sleeping and he owned the gun legally, and people say if you just burst into my house, people have a right to defend themselves? >> all of the factors you just listed are why this whole situation and the decision today is completely devastating for many people in the community, because the joint report that was issued listed all of those things, that they think amir locke was sleeping and he thought somebody was breaking in and he was trying to defend himself, an...

It's a good day, like the day that derek chauvin was convicted. and that kyle rittenhouse was let alfano self-defense charge. i hope it sets a precedent of not having these riots and things. it's really what you wake up thinking. obviously you want someone to go to jail if they've murdered someone but you also fear for your city or your country, wherever you are. the people would go to the streets and it would turn into the summer of 2020 again and hopefully when things have gone through the legal system and it does work, the jury system does work, we can all just sit there and take in what we...
