71. While I disagree with those jumping to the conclusion that this was 'obviously' racially motivated

I'll even say we can't say for sure it was done out of malice. However, I don't see how there is any way that this can be viewed as anything but unjustified. Based on what we've heard of her own statement, how can this be viewed as anything else?

The only possible thing is that he answered the door and immediately attacked her. That makes zero sense and nothing like that has been mentioned by anyone. In also seems to go against everything we know about the victim. Maybe you can explain what possible facts could come out to justify this?
