John Crawford was shot dead by thugs in a Walmart while holding a BB gun he wanted to buy. It appears this was based on an exaggerated and false accusation from someone who was in the store.

The article shows why "open carry" laws effectively apply only to whites. It's too dangerous if you're black. Lawfully carrying a concealed gun can cause you trouble if you're a black; thugs frequently search you, and even though the gun is not a crime, the thugs will look for an excuse to charge you with something.

As a result, "stand your ground" laws are also whites-only.
