Tatioun Williams Shooting Headline From Huffington Post: "Brandon Ross Charged With Murder After Police Fatally Shoot 15 Year-Old Companion"

Posted on May 28, 2011 by Andy Hale

 The Huffington Post headline and story seem to imply the police were at fault and that Brandon Ross got screwed by being charged with murder after the police shot his accomplice, Tatioun Williams. Another example of MEDIA BIAS against the police. A comment to the Huffington Post story from MarkRB put it best:

"For all of you out there who don't see how this thug should be charged with murder, put it this way. If thug #1  with the gun had shot the guy they were robbing and killed him, thug #2 would have been charged with first degree murder also, even though thug #1 was the one who did the shooting. The law states that anybody participating in a crime with a firearm involved, and ANYBODY is killed, they will all be charged with murder. The law specifies that it applies to victims AND the perpetrators. Thug #1 was killed. So now thug #2 is charged with murder. See how simple that is."

Well said MarkRB. Thank you. And Huffington Post, if you are going to run a headline like the one above, perhaps you should explain to your readers the way the felony murder statute works, like MarkRB just did. C'mon Huffington Post, you can do better.
