An Alabama thug was convicted for shooting and killing Gregory Gunn, who was running away from him.

The thug claimed Gunn had attacked him, but that seems to have been fabrication. But even if it had been true a moment before, it was no longer true when Gunn ran away.

The fact that rural jury of mainly whites would convict a uniformed thug for killing a black man gives me hope that Americans are unlearning their unquestioning support for thugs that kill, and especially those that kill blacks. This is the first step to learning to try not to kill.
