not to mention that he has called 911 several times complaining about Black people.
The 911 call I saw the transcript of was infuriating.
Nothing worse than a monster who thinks he's right with God.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

T-N C specifically pointed out that it is less important what was in his heart than what he did. In my less polite way,I'd say it is less important that he is a racist than that he is a murderer. Not that there is not overwhelming evidence that he is a racist, but "I am not a racist" is not actually a defense against an accusation of murder.

Except when it comes to hate crime laws, right? I don't know if FL has those.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
he did murder someone. that is a fact. the issue is whether he felt threatened at the time - from a legal perspective.
Morally, he is done. Nothing he can say at this point will suffice. The issue now is whether he will lose his freedom, and a more minor concern, if he will be giving the deed to his house to the victim's family.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Even if it wasn't a hate crime (which it was), it was still murder. The man should be arrested and tried for first-degree murder, regardless of his ethnicity, or his racism or lack thereof.
How could Z. have been threatened? He was in an SUV with a gun, on the phone with 911 telling him not to engage. The boy was on foot and unarmed. This is premeditated murder.

ita !, can your repost the specs...stufff so I can show Dan? I've been looking for 15 minutes and I can't find your post.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
bt, I hope you don't mind but I'm posting it to COMMA. Ryan is way too cute. I wish we could bottle up some of his adorableness and send it out to A) everyone who is hurting because it will make them happy even if it is just a fleeting moment, and 2) every assjangle on the planet because it should make their hearts grow three sizes like the Grinch's - and it'll fix their ass-jangliness.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

His first COMM! I'm very proud.
