Honestly, as I brought up in this thread, Ralph Ellison kinda predicted this. And I'm not saying that because Invisible Man is one of my favorite novels and I can relate to it thematically in a lot of ways.
I feel like Ellison was really insightful to how situations like this develop and how it just ends up with confusion and destruction more than anything productive or helpful to society. People get emotional and small actions escalate gradually until everyone who has their own agendas jump onto it and create chaos to further their own means, and the cause of the incident is lost in all the infighting, squabbling and just chaos of the situation.
I kinda feel like we should have him tried first because I kinda think that a crime is a crime regardless of who you're doing it to. If his intentions were racial, then he's a shitty person and he should be persecuted to the full extent of the law, but he does have a right to defend himself. Technically, we still haven't heard his side of the story in any official sense or widely publicized sense, and while I think that what he did was wrong, he might have some amazing defense that we don't know about. @Kujo_Dolphiro
