Amazingly not Florida: White Texan Shoots Muslim at Intersection, Cites "Stand Your Ground"

They kill from the shadows.

Cool. As least someone there has some sense.

it shouldn’t matter if white or asian or arab people are ‘confrontational’ during road rage incidents. Doesn’t mean you have to pull a gun.

Obviously.

Come to China. Watch your world shatter.

I’m still reminded of that Korean dude who went all in on that ugly white guy and his Korean girlfriend. Sure seemed confrontational.

yeah but I bet his fat ass would curl up into a ball if he got punched.

I dunno…i heard asians know the kung fu

Is it stand your ground if you’re sitting?

Because incidents like those are legitimately random as all fuck. I’ve never had an issue in this state and I’ve driven a good chunk of it. Only person to do racist shit against me have been Mexican cops so, take that as you will.

My experience is similar to yours however I’ve never lived in the country. Some years ago, I was considering working for a certain dutch oil company in Port Arthur, TX and some other back water place in Louisiana. One was Asian and he said he had a hard time even just getting an oil change. The other was, to my surprise, WHITE and he still got a hard time for several months then they let up.

Maybe it’s one of those things where you only hear about the egregious things and so it makes you think the whole picture is bad rather than one isolated incident.

Isn’t the worst they do is to drop their pants and take a shit in front of everyone?

Texas is weird for some things. I know Ducky had a gun pulled on him because he went to the wrong place for a job.

Shrugs all around.

Being born from texas I kinda wish that was some other place with news like that. That is stupid of that man regardless of his wherabouts.
It’s not a hate crime tho I think they kill eachother much worse than that.

Stand Your Ground is completely unnecessary. There are already laws against assault, battery, murder etc. SYG is designed specifically to punish minorities.

I live in Texas and this shit is nothing new. Whites have complete backing by the courts no matter what.

  1. Don’t understand why they’re citing it as racism, Islam is an ideology not a race. What is so hard about making this distinction?

  2. Even if it was “racist” (which it really wasn’t), It was still his right for voicing his opinion. I don’t care how backwards and misguided a slur can be, it’s still a basic right to voice it. The line gets drawn when you attempt to silence one’s voice by force the way Abu did. It was his fault for being offended and was his fault for resorting to force.

  3. Was shooting him justified? Wouldn’t know really, but can cite that in an adrenaline fueled situation like that you can’t afford to take chances. Take time to talk to anyone with a military or law-enforcement background. If the shooter was pre-military then chances are he wanted to be safe to rule out the possibility of being attacked by a knife. The reality is that you wouldn’t even know that you’re being stabbed until it’s too late and that getting assaulted with a knife is almost impossible to see coming. Every ex military man, police man, or anyone that understands what real self defense entails knows this and that it’s better not to take chances. Abu wasn’t holding a knife obviously, but how would you know if you’re defending yourself in an adrenaline-fueled situation? I hope that this also clears up why it doesn’t take much to make an officer edgy/trigger-happy.

White dude provoked the Muslim. He has no defense against using lethal force on an unarmed assailant in this case. This is why the DA is now pursuing murder charges, even though a grand jury didn’t indict him.

Abu was ultimately the one who initiated the assault though, whether egged on to do so with words or not. Already made a point of that

It’s racist when you assume someone practices a religion based on the color of their skin or appearance.
