I respectfully disagree a bit since statistics show stand your ground laws disproportionately impact Black people

Also, I saw the same people tweeting about all, not just some of these incidents. However, I do understand that you may feel that seeing the world through a racial lens can overshadow the injustices non-minorities experience. But in this case, as someone who is interested in racial studies, I also saw those cases and saw them as an injustice. People interested in gun reform in general were more drawn to each of stories regardless of race, while people more interested in racial justice were more interested in the story where Yarl was shot because it highlights the disproportionate killings of Black people using stand-your-ground laws as justification.

One last thing, in the other incidents, the motivation seemed random whereas in the case of Yarl the motivation was viewed as racial because of his history of making racist statements. If the motivation, for instance, was revealed that the cheerleader was harmed because she was a woman or cheerleader, this story would have gotten more press because of the motivation, not just the tragedy of them being harmed.

Of course, this is just my opinion so take it with a grain of salt but I just wanted to put that out there. Thanks for your piece.
