Yesterday, there was an article in the Lancaster Online about a woman who was shot while in her kitchen by a stray bullet. Here's my rub. From the initial report, the vibe was like, "eh, just some kids target shooting." Cops concluded almost immediately that it was an accident. NOW, can you imagine the response from LE had the call of a person shot from a stray bullet been from a brown or black community rather than a 100% white country housing development. Mind you, this was not country country, this was in country with suburban housing!! What sort of MORON shoots in such an environment.
I'm all for guns, they are here now, so to not be pro gun is only asking for your own demise, HOWEVER, any moron, white, black, brown, yellow, red or freaking purple who does not understand the power of the piece in their possession should be treated with contempt when they mishandle such a responsibility. THUS, these kids who had been known to target shoot in unacceptable places, had been complained about, and are clearly headed for a adulthood of trouble, or we can look for them working for the sheriff's dept. Madone.
Once again, white inherent racism played a role here that NO ONE is calling out. White's cannot see their own racism. They are blind to it. So, we must take situations as these to point it out and say, "Hey. Just honestly think to yourself about how you would've responded had this been about a stray bullet in the hood?"
I'm not sure why people have such a hard time facing their own truths when they are ugly, because the outcome from such an action is always a positive.
