Friday thought experiment thread:
Close your eyes and imagine a young black man. Physically strong, stubborn, and seemingly devoid of empathy. Joins the military but leaves because he can’t stand authority and doesn’t want anyone to tell him what to do.

Especially women. He doesn’t like women who don’t do what he wants. He beats up his girlfriend, even kidnaps her so that she can’t get away from him. Imagine this remorseless young black man being hauled into the police station for assaulting and kidnapping his girlfriend.
And imagine he flees the station when the police aren’t looking and tries to carjack some innocent stranger so he can flee. When the car owner resists, the young black man shoots the stranger in the head. Luckily, the bullet just grazes the stranger and doesn’t kill him.
