I guess you can only say you are afraid for your life so many times ,before it just becomes redundant..
This man in the above photo...Rodney Bruce Black, 62, was charged with murder after he fatally shot Garrick Hopkins, 60, of Milton and his brother, Carl Hopkins Jr., 61, because he thought they were on his property
He apparently shot and killed his new neighbor and the man's brother without warning as the two inspected their land. The shooter told police he thought his alleged victims were breaking into a building he mistakenly thought he owned, and police are baffled as to why he chose such a drastic measure to preserve something of no value to him.
Yes...Tell me why? Please explain that to me!
The Cabell County Sheriff's Department charged Rodney Bruce Black, 62, of Barboursville, with two counts of first degree murder after he killed Garrick Hopkins, 60, of Milton and his brother, Carl Hopkins Jr., 61, of Oak Hill, at 2:30 p.m. Saturday, Sherriff Tom McComas told the Daily News on Monday.
Garrick Hopkins and his wife had just purchased land next door to Black and planned to start building a home in the next few weeks, McComas said. The landowner had invited his brother over to check out the property Saturday afternoon. Black saw the two men — who were both married with children — looking inside a shed. Then, allegedly without warning or calling the police, he grabbed a rifle and fired once at both men. They died at the scene.
"He shot first and then called 911," McComas said. "He said they were breaking into his house but it wasn't his property."
You still want to tell me about gun rights and "Stand Your Ground " laws? Seems like a license to shoot and kill niggers...That's right...I said it! If you disagree, show me where it's not exactly what I said...
The question is...When does this end? And if some black person shoots and kills a white person and says..."I was standing my ground...I was afraid for my life " or I thought they were breaking into my worthless shed." Will it still play? Would the newspapers write that up as "He was confused"? Me thinks not.

My first reaction was f*($ no! That ish wouldn't play. Now that I'm beyond my own intuitive first response, I can speak sans vulgarity. No...certainly not. We both know that is not a viable defense for a black man in America. Period.
