#RalphYarl says he's suffering lingering effects from being shot in the head
-
“I hear the door open. I see this old man and I’m assuming, 'Oh, this must be like their grandpa,' and then he pulls out his gun and I’m like, whoa! … So I back up. He points it at me. So I kind of like, brace and I turn my head. I’m thinking, there’s no way he’s actually going to shoot, right? The door (isn’t) even open. He’s going to shoot through his glass door and glass is going get everywhere? And then it happened.” #RalphYarl

New episode!
(Ep. 68) Our Culture Is Killing Us - From The Reactionary, Anti-Homeless of the Bob Lee Murder to the Indefensible Shootings Across the Country
Bob Lee was killed in San Fran & the elite turned their ire on the #unhoused.
Multiple victims of 4 separate unjustifiable #shootings and murders across the country.
We discuss how our #culture in the US created & supports a society where these atrocities are merely background noise. #RalphYarl #BobLee #murrica

Grandson of man who shot unarmed Black teenager #RalphYarl says his brain was rotted by an endless diet of #FoxNews #racism and #fearmongering. #RupertMurdoch should be on trial at the Hague for crimes against humanity in a Hannibal Lecter mask. https://www.vice.com/en/article/5d9b45/ralph-yarl-shot-andrew-lester-foxnews

CW: USpol, shooting, death
So, in #Dumbfuckistan, people are now getting shot for going to the wrong address. And not just once. And here I thought US gun culture could hardly get worse. #KaylinGillis #RalphYarl

“If Black people can develop and refine metaphors to understand the white experience (in all of its constituent complexity, pain and privilege), how is it that white people are excused from understanding the Black experience?”

🤔 🙄 . This is the fruit of #FoxNews misinformation campaign: #Death
The 84-year-old #white man accused of shooting #RalphYarl in the head for ringing the wrong doorbell “spent considerable time at home in a living room chair, watching conservative news programs at high volume,” one of his relatives told The New York Times.

Andrew Lester, 84, claimed to police he was "scared to death" when Yarl, 16, accidentally went to his door. Lester's grandson said he had "racist tendencies."

What are we calling this relatively new, fear-fueled, gun-crazed, vigilante terror that has erupted this week?
Innocent people are being shot for:
Knocking on the wrong door. #RalphYarl
Turning into the wrong driveway. #KaylinGillis
Chasing a basketball that rolled into a neighbor’s yard. #KinsleyWhite
Getting into the wrong car. #PaytonWashington
This is NOT a well-regulated militia. This is chaos.

Today’s post on @medium is my response to the recent #shooting of Black teen #RalphYarl.

Gun owners are taught that if someone sets foot on their property, they finally have permission to kill someone. They look forward to such opportunities, because they got their toys because they want to murder someone. https://jezebel.com/gun-lobby-shooting-kaylin-gillis-ralph-yarl-1850348938 #RalphYarl #Kaylingillis #guns

Two cheerleaders on a Houston-area team were shot in an H-E-B parking lot after getting in the wrong car by mistake.
This incident comes just five days after 16-year-old Kansas resident Ralph Yarl was shot after going to the wrong house to pick up his siblings.

A bit on #RalphYarl and our no-show congresscritter, #ChrisBrown.
The mailer he sent out described himself as being on the "Crime Prevention and Safety" committee of the House.
You'd THINK he'd at least have the decency to comment on the shitty road situation in his own district that contributed to the shooting.
But nope. This is STILL his last post anywhere that I can find.

When you shoot a 16-year-old boy in the head, then shoot him in the arm as he lays on the ground, then tell him “don’t come around here!” as he staggers and runs away—spoiler alert: THAT’S NOT SELF-DEFENSE, YOU FUCKOS.

How many times have people come to 84-year-old Andrew Lester’s home mistakenly in that community? How many times has he brandished a gun when someone rings his door?
Talk about THAT. Ask THOSE questions.
