This was a terrible thing that happened. The surviving brother was dealing with a loss the best way he could. It pisses me off that people are making this about race. It was not about race. The woman carelessly shot into the dark. She had no idea who or what she was shooting at. It was not a racial crime.

Had they been the race, or if it had been a black person shooting a sleeping white person, it would have been the same thing.

It is a proven psychological fact that forgiveness is for the person doing the forgiving. The surviving brother is set free. Look it up. The one doing the forgiving benefits much more than the one forgiven. That's just plain old science.

I cannot understand the anger toward the surviving brother.

I think its being used to stir up racial hatred.

I really think MLK is turning over in his grave right now. He would not approve.

This was one man doing one thing in one specific case on one specific day for his own specific reasons. People are using it for political ammunition. Its shameful.
