  1. Shouldn't headline be black man shoots 6 yo white girl in the face we know it would be if the races were reversed.

  2. These Democrat BLM types are out of CONTROL! ❤️🙏

  3. Another don't thread on me a*hole

  4. Hate crime? No, just another black guy trying to murder white people. News blackout starts…..now.

  5. Should this be charged as a hate crime? Where’s the outrage? Oh, it’s becUse the victims family is huuywiteee. No justice. The shooter will likely get out next week

  6. I hope they find him. I hope he get rammed in prison.
    Full blown.
    He’s gonna be holding pockets for life.

  7. If teenage males and black males were banned from gun ownership, there would be no major gun problem in the united states. Thousands and thousands less people would die, each year

  8. Probably wanted the basketball

  9. Just imagine if the roles were reversed and you ALL know that this story would be getting tons of coverage on major news networks, as well as some "mostly peaceful protests" would be going down

  10. Self defense stand ur ground murika castle that basketball could have been concealing a small explosive device the man was simply firing warning shots I blame it on the children 😜🧐😈

  11. Old white guy shots black teen breaking into house at night is racist but this isn’t huh. Keep pushing the narrative till this is in all our front yards n doorsteps

  12. Wait so a basketball rolls into your yard, and you…. Wait WHAT!

  13. Strange how race never comes into it when it doesn't fit the agenda!🙄

  14. Black man shoots 6 year old WHITE girl. There I corrected your headline free of charge

  15. Black person again. That is why people get scared and defensive against black people statiscally. Odds of being danger is higher than other race but second white. It comes down to education at home and school. Cultureal issue

  16. Let’s swap the races. Here, I’ll provide the adjusted headline for you, NBC:

    “Racism suspected motive in shooting”

    Wow. Look how easy that is.

  17. I would never live next to them. For this exact reason.

  18. Call it what it is. A HATE CRIME BY A RACIST!!! FACTS!!! Another angry black man that we’re supposed to feel sorry for and understand

  19. 0:50 this guy is not black man.

  20. It’s not safe to raise a family around blacks.

  21. Let’s go find his family now

  22. Notice liberal media CLEARLY STATED the race of the white man that shot the black kid for knocking on his door the other day, and made claims it could be racial?

    Now no vocal mention of race, no claims of racism, they did show a picture of the shooter, but where is all the same racial outrage?

    Liberal media is garbage, and they are actively stirring up race tensions, but only in one direction.

    They are partly responsible for this shooting, the black guy hate whites, because of the liberal narrative.

  23. He'll be out on bond soon, we all know why

  24. The love Americans have for their gun rights far surpasses the love they have for their kids

  25. Sad, but tragically, this is the norm these days.

    Only thing we can do is endure and move on

  26. They always run🏃🏿 😂😅

  27. WHERE IS THE COMMUNITY PROTEST IN THE STREETS ????
    WHERE IS THE RACE BAITER ATTORNEY AT?? OH THIS DOESN'T FIT THE NARRATIVE………

  28. Dude probably was mad over how they've been shooting and brutalizing our kids for less. Kids should never be harmed in this senseless manner tho and he should be taking off the streets

  29. Lincoln was right. We should've sent them all back.

  30. Why are americans so forgiving of black crimes? Dont you see the obvisous. Look at ANY country who welcomed blacks into their country.

  31. Neighbor? You mean black man, right? Ohhhh can’t say that. Unless he was white and the family was black. Say it then. Ridiculous.

  32. Surely there is more to the story than that. How far was the guy pushed ? Don't expect to push someone to their limits without repercussions.

  33. Hope old Singletary friends put plenty of Vaseline on his canteen caues he's going to need it.

  34. He will be free before the child's face heals.

  35. They've changed everything lately…women and children were always off limits…they've showed their hand.

  36. The shooter is a racist POS this is a hate crime he shot them because there white it wasn't about a basketball in his yard this is the news media covering up for a racist

  37. How come no protest for the father and daughter? It was a deliberate attempt at murder, oh wait i see the mugshot, that's why……

  38. No mention of race now huh? Guess it doesn't fit your racist leftist narrative.
