You have to be some sort of ignorant fool or completely blinded by racial privilege not to understand how this whole thing is all about race. On top of that it extends to the rest of us who may look "suspicious" whilst out for a stroll with a bag of fucking skittles.
The fact that he was acquitted of the charges only goes to show how widespread and endemic this fucking problem is.
Quit trying to make the mentally ill a scape goat for those who's hearts are filled with hatred.
