Guns and Racism in America.
- Authors
Gross, Richard C.
- Abstract
The article discusses the contrasting verdicts in two high-profile trials involving self-defense claims. It mentions that the conviction of three white men in the killing of Ahmaud Arbery, an unarmed black man, is seen as a victory for justice, while the acquittal of Kyle Rittenhouse, a white teenager who killed two men during a protest, has sparked concerns about racism. It also mentions the divisions in the country and the differing reactions to the verdicts, reflecting two distinct Americas.
