Mr Lester has not been charged with a hate crime, and charging documents do not describe the alleged racial bias.

At a press conference on Monday, Clay County Prosecutor Zachary Thompson said: "My message to the community is that, in Clay County, we enforce the laws and we follow the laws.

"That doesn't matter where you come from, what you look like or how much money you have."

Even at that it's crazy though - one time as (very drunk, very confused) students me and my (now) wife and several other friends somehow ended up trying to get into the wrong house after a night out, confused about why we couldn't open the door, hammering on it and shouting ...

... in the US someone would probably have come out blastin'.

We were just very drunk and at the wrong door! If anything the taxi driver was to blame.

You can shoot someone on your porch in Texas if you believe your life is at risk. Missouri has a "stand your ground" law which is similar. Not that I think for one minute this kid was anything but innocent.

And this is how it goes down in gun free zones in Democrat run cities.

The sad thing is I'm not even shocked, I knew this happened more frequently.

You’ve got to be careful in america. It’s no joke. Parents need to educate their kids that they can’t just be going knocking on random peoples doors. What if the guy was a pedophile, this kid might have never seen the light of day again.

Do you know that to be true or is that just one side of the story?

The strangest thing about all this is that Biden invited the kid and his family to the White House. Looks to me like it's being used to push a political agenda.

That's just pure propaganda and has nothing to do with this case. It's that pure propaganda that raises my suspicions that there's a certain agenda being pushed here.

Once you know the signs, it's easy to see. Ten years ago I wouldn't have noticed this stuff, I'd have fell for it too, but I've learnt so much of how it all works since then.

What propaganda are they pushing by talking about a 16 year old being shot?

Can you not read the article I quoted? About his ex wife saying "he bad"

Maybe he is bad, but what does her opinion of her ex have to do with this? At this time that opinion of hers is irrelevant for us to know.

It does paint a picture of his character tbf.

But I agree that him being horrible to his Wife doesn't automatically make him an attempted murderer, or at least in the first degree.

What does make me suspicious of this guy's character is we haven't heard anything about the 16 year old trying to break into his home, or having a weapon on him that you could then argue might've scared the Perp.

Tbf he is just a kid so its a treat ..

His family gets a nice day out, Biden gets to sniff children look like he cares. In the grand scheme, who cares.

[Crimson Dynamo]

still at least Biden did not invite a man dressed as a woman for likes on tiktok for dollars to visit.. and ignore anyone else who did not tick a left wing gender war figure..that would be mental

[UserSince2005]

shoot or be shot.
