NAACP President: ‘It Doesn’t Really Matter if [Keith Lamont Scott] Had a Gun’


Facts. They’re supposed to matter in criminal cases, but Black Lives Matter tends not to agree. This trend doesn’t appear to be changing in the aftermath of the death of Keith Lamont Scott.

Charlotte NAACP President Corine Mack told CNN’s Carol Costello Thursday morning that the fact that Keith Lamont Scott had a gun on him when he was shot and killed by police doesn’t really mean he was “guilty of anything.”

“In my mind, and in most of the community’s mind, it doesn’t really matter if he had a gun,” she explained.

Mack argued that since “we have the right under the Second Amendment to carry here in North Carolina,” it was the police’s responsibility “to engage him in a more de-escalated way, to find out if he had a permit for his gun, and allow him to go on his merry way, and he would still be living today.”

“It doesn’t really matter” really should the Black Lives Matter motto. Facts? Who needs them?
