I see your new item and raise you an instance of race baiting.
The man's family is saying that the shooter did this because of racism, which was the reason he was fired.
The truth is that the shooter was fired for stealing beer.
This story has an eerie parallel, right from my own real life. Those who live in the Houston area may be familiar with the murder of the owner of a flower shop in Sugar Land, just outside of Houston. One of our technicians is going to be a witness in the capital murder trial of the perpetrator. In May, the flower shop was moving to a new location in the same building, and I sold the owner the refrigeration services for her move. After our technician finished his job, he was giving the invoice to the owner of the store, and was there when she fired an employee for theft, and told him that she was going to file charges against him. A week later, that same employee waited outside the store until it closed, followed the owner home, shot her between the eyes, took her body back to the property where the store was located, dumped the body in the artificial lake behind the property, then fled with her car and credit cards. He was apprehended in Mississippi, and brought back to Sugar Land to stand trial for capital murder. There is no doubt that he is going to get the death penalty upon conviction. Guess what the killer's father is claiming? Yup, you guessed it. Racism.
Yes, there is still racism in America, and I would like to see it all go away. But it won't. Part of the reason is that racism is something that is strongly ingrained in some people, who will always hate. But another part of the reason is that some people choose to race bait instead of taking responsibility for their actions, or the actions of their loved ones. And, as long as race baiting exists, it will be another factor that enables racism. Fact is, racism or not, the shooter here, as well as the Sugar Land flower shop killer, is a murderer. No amount of race baiting is going to mitigate the obvious.
