the narrative i keep hearing is that the african-american community feels outraged because they don't feel their kids can even purchase skittles and come home safely.

i appreciate the backdrop.

but this particular kid may easily have got home with his skittles. between the shop and his home, he chose to break someone's nose and pound his head on the sidewalk.

this isn't a race story. it's a teenage control one.
