Jorge Jove, a 64-year-old retired Miami-Dade firefighter..

IOW, here is a man who has been a respected member of society and for some reason, went off the rails.
Skin color is not part of the overarching question.
Had it been a young punk who never did anything right, color would not matter then either. The cops would likely have killed him trying to arrest him.
But, then, which thug owns a home?

The supposed Great Question, was he Trying to shoot the men is answered by what was shot .

And your racist problem is solved.

So the ‘reporter’ saying, “In Front Of House”, Is Correct. Did he, ‘forget’, to mention, "Blocking The Driveway”? Skin Color is not even REMOTELY, relevant.

Are you making the assertion he was given preferential treatment because he is of Hispanic decent?

No, I'm saying that if he were a darker, less Caucasian looking man, there would have been more up roar. Further, had he been wearing a turban, they would have called homeland security.

Don't be coy - you know exactly what I was hinting at... are you really that thick??

Sorry, many of us that are not on the left judge people by their merit as opposed to their skin color.

Why does it always have to be about race with the left? Why
does the left sew discord at every opportunity?

Why does the right always think it's about the left? This is a maniac with an effing gun! Party don't play in this...

You're going to sit there and tell us that if this man were to have dark skin and/or was wearing a turban that the response would have been the same? Seriously? Well, then you're lying.

I say this to point out the hypocrisy of the general public. Go look at the comments on the report. Many condone his actions! Are you kidding me?? 18 shots!! Most people commenting are like "yeah, I hate those trucks by my house too.." WTF??

If this guy were Sikh - forget it... the person filming it would have called 911 and reported terrorism.

So get off your "moral high ground" and get back to reality. This guy with his gun is no different than the thug in an inner city shooting in the air to gain attention.

Also, why are you unable to have civil discourse without exhibiting less than an expected degree of maturity?

Best regards,

I'm fully capable in having civil discourse - you've chosen to ignore those posts.

However, I put this article up and guess what? A righty responded just like I thought you would. So - it becomes a game.

You come back with a ridiculous response (we judge people by their merit, not skin color), I call BS.

Best regards,

Yes, it does. From my position, you are ignorant. You IGNORE my scenario. You pin this on being "on the left" - I'm not "on the left". It's been posted many times that I hate the establishment left AND right.

Further - if you truly believe that had this man been of darker complexion or been wearing a turban - that the reaction had been the same - you're fooling no one but yourself.

You want more civility? Show more civility.
