I have a no solicitors emblem near the doorbell too. I wasn't aware it justified killing anyone who comes to the door.

Man Who Shot Ralph Yarl Watched Fox News Nonstop and Said 'Racist Things,' Grandson Says
Not surprising at all. The whole network convinces its viewership that they are all at deaths door and everyone is coming for them. His ex wife spoke out saying he was a loud and violent guy
Ya dont say.
Coulda never seen this reveal coming.
I hope fox dies man.
So, the old dude has a flimsy ass excuse while Ralph Yarl pulls through. I can't imagine the heinous bullshit he'd have concocted had Mr. Yarl. Been murdered. And it would have been MURDER.
Old fuck sitting around just waiting for an excuse to pop off against a minority. Then claims this kid is a giant. Reinforces the idea that black kids don't get to be kids. They're all adults. Honestly, reminds me of this and I can't stop shaking my head

Andrew Lester’s ex-wife recalls his fits of rage, violence: ‘I was always scared of him’

Learned something new from that article "And there's a manhunt for a North Carolina man who allegedly shot a six-year-old girl and her parents when a basketball rolled into his yard." I hadn't heard about this one yet, WHAT THE FUCK??
Ugh this makes my heart hurt. I'm glad he's recovering. Our kids deserve a world where they don't have to worry about racist oppressors.
I think the more frustrating thing would've been that the majority of America would've absolutely taken his side of the story at face value, or at the very least cast doubt that he had bad intentions. Fact is, everyone at this point knows- whether consciously or deep, deep down- that all of these wanton executions of Black people at the hands of private citizens and law enforcement for minor infractions or not doing anything at all are obviously barbaric and reflect a shitty moral and cultural character, but it's harder to simply admit that than to make up a reason that absolves white America of its sins. Same shit since slavery.

Thanks. Man really was a shithead his whole life, shame he wasnt the one who knocked.
Mom was watching some show on a channel called Newsnation and I was pretty sus of the channel after I saw an ad for one of their news segments and found out they are one of those "We only report the facts" channels that's super right leaning. Anyways later in the day we turned the tv back on and they had on Bill O'Reilly talking about this very case complaining about rioters/looters and how naturally the old bastard would be afraid the kid "Was up to no good"
Fuck him.
Fuck him.
Yoooooo Newsnation! Got advertisements/commercials about it back when I had cable and I always gave it the side-eye.
"The far right says this. The far left says that. We'll only report the facts and let you decide." Eye-rolly middle-road bullshit. But whatever. Until finally one of their commercials shows one of their anchors interviewing fuckin Rittenhouse. That gave the game away lmao
Yepppp the reason I was sus of them was because the ad blurb was talking about how Chinese secret police were in the US!!! Oh noessssssssss, along with some piece about how more cities are in love with Police and do not want to defund them in anyways.
My light googling revealed that the "Chinese Secret Police" office they were reporting on was just a Chinese org that helps Chinese Immigrants with legal documents like getting driver's licenses... also there was a glowing review on DeSantis and how he needs to keep focused on states rights if he wants to become president. 🙄
