Aussie here. We had an interesting story recently where a black man, who was recently released from prison from repetitive violent crimes committed an armed home invasion. He entered with a machete and the homeowner ended his life.

Not because he was black, but because he was commuting an act of violence. How is this any different.

Black man was violent and a white man ended his life protect himself and other innocent civilians. It's not racism, it's just a fact of life. Fuck around and find out. Both blacks found out I guess

The man was restrained and no longer a threat but the dude continued to keep him in the chokehold which led to his death.

Do you understand excessive force?

Do you think that someone who is restrained and no longer a threat deserves death?
