Maybe he could not pull it ? Sounds like he had it on him.
Not sure the rest.
Dear Gun Owners.

"Attorneys for Aki and Alo-Kaonohi say it wasn't Kunzelman's race that provoked them, but his entitled and disrespectful attitude."
Viciously beating your new neighbor who has multiple sclerosis for a perceived attitude is somehow better than beating them because of their perceived race? If that is their strongest argument, no wonder the defense lost.

If I read "dog whistle" anywhere I usually stop reading whatever it is unless it's an article about dog training. And then I usually stop reading anyways because very few people who know how to properly train dogs use them anymore.

It's usually obvious when someone watches too much political television. After an hour of either cnn or fox news, the buzzword drivel that spews forth is quite telling.

I don't think the defense lost due to poor arguments.
They lost because it was an impossible case to defend.

Their sense of entitlement, thinking they get to pick and choose which races and cultures are acceptable in their neighborhood. It's the 2020's, we are all equal, get over it.

True. It’s just that some “are more equal than others.”
Unless that’s been banned. Again.
