Private "security" thugs shoots homeless man

jeudi 25 mai 2023 à 05:02

A Walgreens private "security" thug shot and killed a homeless man, Banko Brown, whom he accused of stealing snacks.

If we don't believe that people who can't afford to lawfully get food deserve to starve to death, we must conclude that they are morally entitled to take food from wherever there is plenty. We must also conclude that the store has no right to hire people to kill them for trying.

A good society provides a way for poor people to get enough food without having to steal.

Given what platform the district attorney ran on, we cannot trust her judgment, or her unsupported word, about whether the security guard had a justification for shooting. She must release the video. What use is a "security" camera if officials cover up what it recorded about a killing?
