    What did she think she was doing chucking her pregnant self in front of a bullet, obviously her fault, further endorsed by her being black. 100% guilty!

    That area is seriously fed up!

    The amount of people defending this on Twitter is astounding too.

    This right wing thinking has been simmering for years and was released with a bang on Trumps election.
    As always it’s the people who do nothing that lets this minority flourish and take over .
    People put it down to ignorance and lack of education which is dangerous and naive , it’s calculated and well thought out .
    I can honestly see another holocaust in my lifetime besides the ones in Syria, Lybia ,Yemen and parts of Central Africa plus others .
    Some Republican Senators and governors pop their heads up occasionally to condemn this but not enough to damage the rise of the Racists.
    I think the next presidential campaign will highlight more of these injustices and could embolden the right wing in US and elsewhere to frightening levels imo

    My wife's American and lives with me in Barnsley. We're both agreed now we're ready for that country to be swallowed by the sea. She's embarrassed to be American.

    I'm embarrassed to live on the same planet with some of them.

    But sadly, it's not just an American thing. There are all sorts of nutters all over the world these days.

    While I agree it is utterly bonkers - why is it racist? The shooter is also black. And a meth head too looking at her photo.

    I honestly think they go out of their way to find something although totally mystified how the shooter got off! thought it would be a shoo in double header once they had come up with the ludicrous idea of accusing the person that got shot

    Someone could try and explain this to me for 24hrs straight and I still wouldn't understand it.

    Pregnant woman starts a fight with another woman, other woman proceeds to pull a gun and shoots the pregnant woman in the stomach, wounding the pregnant woman and killing the unborn child...

    Now, I'm no expert on American law, but surely even if the pregnant woman was charged it should only be for something minor and the other woman should be charged with something at least moderately serious? You know, on account of her shooting someone and ending a pregnancy?

    But what do I know, I'm just normal.

    Not a case of going out of our way at all tbh .
    That verdict would never happen to a white woman full stop.

    It sounds like the storyline of a John Grisham novel! Barmy!

    I'd be taking that one to the supreme court if I was an American lawyer.

    Absolutely crazy. It's bad enough she's lost her unborn child. Hope common sense
    prevails in the end and the poor woman is eventually exonerated.

    Clearly - had she shot the other woman first instead of just arguing with her her baby would have survived gross negligence from her part

    How do you shoot someone in the stomach in self defence? Of all the places to choose it’s the stomach when she’s coincidentally carrying her boyfriend’s baby.
