Fox News host Will Cain actually both sides the shooting of 16 years old Ralph Yarl, who mistakenly rang the wrong door bell and was shot by Andrew Lester through the door.
A hard turn to a sad and tragic story out of Kansas City, where a young man, 16 years old, appeared to have gone to the wrong residence.
The man inside, the 84-year-old man inside, responded to the young man at his door with gunshots.
Now, you can imagine yourself on both sides of this door, going to the wrong residence to pick up your siblings, literally got the wrong address.
And all of a sudden, as you're standing at the doorbell, shots ringing out.
You can also imagine yourself on the other side, an 84-year-old man with a six-foot-tall guy outside your door, reportedly pulling on the glass outer door to come inside.
Here's what I would tell you.
This is a tragedy, but there is zero evidence that it is racist.
And that's the narrative today, that it is ringing a doorbell while being black.
I'll reserve judgment, as we all should, until we get the facts to arrive at a conclusion.
Cain did not wait for the facts to come out in this case as he tells everyone else to do and instead exonerates the old man who shot a 16-year-old Black teen (with no provocation) from being a racist.
Cain swallowed Lester's account wholeheartedly when he said Yarl pulled on his door knob. Wow, another lame justification for shooting another person.
Yarl had a much different version of events when he told police he, "did not pull on the door handle and that he was waiting after having rung the bell when a man opened the door and shot him in the head and then in the arm. Yarl told investigators that he heard a voice say, "Don't come around here."'
Cain even claimed this after Andrew Lester's grandson told the media that his grandfather's actions, "are his responsibility, and falling into the fear and paranoia stoked by the 24-hour news cycle and wild conspiracies did not help his mental state,” Ludwig said.
Republicans now claim that being scared is a defense for either shooting or murdering people.
In Cain's view, seeing a Black teen at your door is justification for murdering him, and it is not racist at all.
