But it also extends to the community, so and so just made a racist comment, and we have this many witnesses seeing him/them/her etc doing it, after seeing all the photos on the wall, and them thinking a racial component might be at work there, they set up a scene, with a kid with a hoodie, kinda looking suspicious, hands in pockets, typical shop lifting pose, maybe like get out of here punk (chukie, a diabolical doll on his hoodie), running, a suspicious activity, hoping the owners would chase him and shout racist comments.

Which might lure them in a certain direction, where unbeknownst to the store keepers, a black woman and her aunt, who testified, were rounding the corner conveniently to witness the entire scene, and did end up calling 911.   Conveniently have other blacks come around the corner to witness it all, from another direction, run fast enough to get off the Chow family property falling, looking like he was being abused by two adults, conveniently having his shoe loose to leave it on their property, deliberately fall, etc.  And using Mr. Chow's "elaborate" camera system against him and his family.  Had a degree in computer science.  

IF they are so not liking racial comments, why do they call each other the n word?  And prodigally use that word.  I have been called that many times, by blacks themselves, in different geographical regions, in the military, civilian world, at different times, 30 years plus apart, that is why i know my people, our culture, hollywood, flashy screen writing process, it was a set up, civil rights and scholarship is not a game, not hollywood, real life.  Orientals being passive generally, but off their property, chasing a smaller, younger person, they would look violent, with the kid being deliberately self roughed up, akin to the Karmelo A story, he was scared, outweighed, outnumbered, adults against a kid, etc.  They probably never thought they would use a gun, just shout, chase, look violent, they told 911, ask or demand that the police make the Chow family show the video system, and prove they were abusive, subspinous, racist, whatever.   

One of the black woman witness was shaking, lips quacking, in her testimony, because i bet her and others never thought it was result in the tragic outcome that ensued.  A BMW from the opposite direction, also called 911, when the civil rights people show up and demand to see video footage, part of the elaborate scheme.   All that has more witnesses, no family relations, but plotting from churches, community centers, etc.

 The bald headed prosecutor, state of South Carolina clown, emphasized BMW, had the woman even mention the particular model, u know what that is if u r an American, im 55, lived here a long time.  How did a Black woman know so much about expensive cars, etc?   That would be the suspicious racist culture they think so many have, but are so innocent themselves, what they think.  NOT even close.

Maybe the blacks could bait the shop keepers or others who might happen to be in the area at the time into making comments.  Awful.  Stupid plan, real life is not hollywood, they thought their plan was air tight, me and God see right through you clowns

The phrase "Can I get a witness?" is a deeply rooted tradition in African American culture, primarily originating from the Black Church. It is a call-and-response practice where a preacher or speaker asks the congregation to endorse, share, or confirm the spiritual or lived truth they are sharing. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

The phrase and the broader concept of "witnessing" extend far beyond traditional Sunday sermons and hold several distinct meanings within African American history: [1]
