The media has been trying their best to turn this into another Treyvon Martin.

It is easier to convince someone of a lie than to convince them they have been lied to. That is the game that the media is playing. So they come out fast and astroturfed the propaganda knowing full well that the evidence against their bullshit will come out eventually but it will still not be enough to convince a large amount of people.

This is just a manufactured distraction from something. Maybe it is a distraction from the quarantine protesters and increasing unrest due to illogical, illegal, and unethical lockdowns. Maybe it is a distraction from evidence of Biden's corruption in Ukraine that is coming out of the flynn investigation. What is absolutely certain is that this is not organic. It was coordinated by someone very powerful who could have it simultaneously blasted across multiple mediums, without having it leak during the planning stages. Someone with the power to astroturf thousands of websites, across dozens of platforms, while censoring all the people who were exposing the flaws in the story. This was a huge operation.

It gives everyone a distraction from all of the far more important things going on in the world right now, like a virus, invasion of privacy, W.H.O. scam, etc. I won't waste significant amounts of my own time on the topic, but I do see it for what it is.

It's true, travis and his father were justified in the eyes of the law and were not 'in the wrong.'

It's still not morally justified, but I guess it devolved into self-defense, so you could still say it was, though I feel like death wasn't the correct punishment, but Ahmaud was definitely a criminal, trying to escape justice

They didn't go out planning to kill anyone. They went out armed because they knew the neighborhood burglar was armed - they knew that because he'd stolen a gun just a few days before. And nobody fired until he charged at armed men and tried to wrestle a gun away from one. If the choice is "shoot the criminal" or "let the belligerent criminal take my gun", that's absolutely self defense. When you say "death wasn't the correct punishment", you've overlooking the fact that they were very reasonably in fear for their lives if they let him take the gun. Shooting wasn't a punishment, in that scenario it was survival.

There are lots of things that man could have done to not get shot, ranging from "have a productive job instead of preying on your neighbors" to "don't prey on the same neighborhood repeatedly to the point your victims take an interest in you specifically", to "when confronted by armed men about your predatory behavior, submit or flee rather than escalating by attempting to grab their guns". To whatever extent he was "punished" the crime he was punished for was not having the basic sense to freeze and put his hands up.

like with michael brown stealing swisher sweets. I wonder if based cops withhold video at first, let sjws whine, then release the evidence showing a black guy was a criminal after to help make sjws look dumb and push more people right.
