Hold my beer. Brother in law's family. Nephew hanging out with his friend. Friend tries to buy some weed. Ends up getting seeds and stems. Decides he's gonna "show that fucker" so heads over to dealer's house with a knife. Nephew hangs around. Dealer invites them both in. Friend draws knife. Dealer draws .44 magnum and shoots friend. Nephew is now facing 15 to life. He's 18. And black. Felony murder is bullshit. The United States is the ONLY country where this shit wasn't abolished a hundred or more years ago. If you think it isn't, that means you've never encountered it or you've never met a black person or both.The end result is that it's difficult to make blanket statements, and as in the case of Trayvon Martin, it all gets very political very quickly.
