The black community should be as outraged for #RenishaMcBride as they were for #TrayvonMartin
-
“@Brandale2221: Wait… The guy who shot #RenishaMcBride was not even taken into custody? …. * throws stuff*” … *throws another lamp*
-
The murder of #RenishaMcBride is bigger than the PoS who shot her. It’s about the people who’ll make excuses and call it “self-defense.”

To the families of #RenishaMcBride #TrayvonMartin #JohnathanFerrell and missing #Indigenous women, all souls rising. Prayers.

To some my mere existence is a justifiable cause for my extermination. I am #RenishaMcBride

What would happen to a black home owner that kills a white teen girl that was there seeking help?#RenishaMcBride
-
These stories of young black men & women being shot and their killers walking free is too much! RIP #RenishaMcBride and #JonathanFerrell

Black Women deserve justice as well and to be treated and seen as a damn human being #RenishaMcBride

What are we going to do about this, white people? It’s past time. We owe Black people better than this fixing it’s on us. #RenishaMcBride

White people: Please ask Wayne Co prosecutor why the man who shot #RenishaMcBride 4 days ago is not being identified. t.co/bWiBVdcRHp

U don’t have the opportunity 2 show the “content of your character” if you’re murdered 4 simply existing as you were born. #RenishaMcBride

#RenishaMcBride was not murdered in detroit. she was murdered in dearborn heights, a bedroom community that’s 86% white (per 2010 census)
-
This #RenishaMcBride thing is totally reminding me of my friend Karl, killed by a white man while asking for help. He was shot in the head.

This country has some fucked up priorities when it comes to gun laws. RIP #RenishaMcBride t.co/nbRTkaClzk #fb

Discussing the horrific & depraved murder of #RenishaMcBride or rapid release of her murderer isnt pleasant, but I can’t afford pleasantries

So they’re killing black people for just knocking on doors now #RenishaMcBride smh
-
anyone thinking dude shot #RenishaMcBride bc he misunderstood her asking for help? come, there’s a bridge i’d like to sell you.

So, she was leaving the porch and he still shot her? #RenishaMcBride
-
Why are people (media, police, etc.) treating the #RenishaMcBride shooting as anything other than 2nd degree murder?
-
LET IT BE KNOWN, just how segregated the detroit area is. #RENISHAMCBRIDE WAS NOT KILLED IN DETROIT. she was killed in suburb, dearborn hts

This isn’t the first story I’ve seen this year of a black person asking for help and getting shot & killed 4 their trouble. #RenishaMcBride

The message I’m starting to get from America is “you can’t be black, knock on a white person’s door for help ¬ die”….#RenishaMcBride
-
IF she was a white girl, she would have been offered a phone call and something to eat. Let’s call it like it is. #RenishaMcBride

I knocked on a neighbor’s door after I escaped an assault. They helped me. Why couldn’t #RenishaMcBride ask for help after car accident?

This is outrageous! I live in Mi but far from where this happened.
It’s outrageous, and yet we keep hearing about cases of trigger-happy white folks shooting unarmed black folks just because they’re there, and paying no consequences.
