Another recent shooting story is being discussed. In New Orleans a 14-year-old black boy was shot, and the shooter arrested and now charged with attempted 2nd degree murder.
Quickly the Justice for Trayvon advocate types are rallying around “another Trayvon“, but this story does not pan out. However, the bigger conversation being avoided is within the surrounding details.
First the details as reported by the local media: NEW ORLEANS – A 14-year-old boy remained in critical condition Friday after being shot in the head by a homeowner who said he thought the teen was trying to break into his house. But police said the teen was unarmed and did not pose an “imminent threat” when he was shot and have charged the owner with attempted second-degree murder.

David Coulter, 23, said he largely raised his seven siblings, of which Marshall Coulter was the second-youngest, after their father died three years ago of stomach cancer.
The family of Marshall Coulter said the teenager could move only the right side of his body a little, but not the left. Doctors told the family that if Coulter survives, he would likely be severely brain damaged.
Coulter’s family acknowledged the teen’s history of burglary arrests but said he had never used a gun. (more…)


Apparently the comfy relationship between Jacksonville SAO head Angela Corey and the local civil rights activists, who proclaimed her magnanimity during the trial of George Zimmerman, are back to pre-Christian Fernandez levels.

The Conservative Tree House (aka. The Last Refuge) is the diametric opposite to this definition. The absence of agenda is, in essence, the similarity behind our association.
