I am incredibly distressed rn
I don’t know if anybody has heard of the Rick chow court case that has just concluded recently, but if you haven’t here’s a brief summary. It’s basically covering a case of a older store owner who claimed that a 14 year old boy had “stolen” a water bottle from his store even though that’s clearly not what the footage from the store shows. Despite that he, Rick Chow, and his son chased this boy down for, I think over 100 yards before claiming that while that boy was running for his life, he somehow pulled out a gun?? And pointed it at them, and they said Rick tried to tell him to put it away but Rick claimed he said no, and he claimed then that’s when he shot him, (despite the forensics team literally showing evidence of how Cyrus’s wound would match to him being shot in his back.) and despite the inconsistencies in this man’s story somehow the court still found him completely not guilty at the end.

I’m just incredibly in enraged not just because of how young this boy was, but this is but another example of a black child being gunned down and not a semblance of justice being carried out. It’s just this time it’s not a cop carrying out the violence it’s a civilian..
I’m just tired of being both, not just autistic but black in a country that wants both dead.. I’m sorry if just turned into a rant, i needed a place to share how I’m feeling At this moment of time.
