JUSTICE FOR RALPH YARL.

KANSAS CITY, MO – Ralph Yarl, a 16 year old Black boy, was shot twice by a white man in North Kansas City after accidentally ringing the doorbell of the wrong home while attempting to pick up his sibling. The white man, Andrew Lester, reportedly shot Ralph in the head through the glass door, then when Yarl was already bleeding out on the ground, shot him again. The family has described it as a hate crime, and community members are calling for justice for the young victim.

“This was not an ‘error’; this was a hate crime. You don’t shoot a child in the head because he rang your doorbell. The fact that the police said it was an ‘error’ is why America is the way it is,” said Dr. Faith Spoonmore, the aunt of Ralph Yarl.

Reports indicate that the white man was taken to the police headquarters briefly to provide a statement but was released shortly after without charge. Yarl’s family is outraged that the perpetrator has not been held accountable.

According to Dr. Spoonmore, “This man intended to kill an innocent child simply because he rang the doorbell of the wrong house. He looked him in the face and shot him… and the individual is free to go about his day as if he did a great deed. While my nephew Ralph Yarl is a great kid, an intelligent kid, a black boy is left with so many broken pieces.”

One year ago today, 16-year-old Ralph Yarl went to pick up his twin brothers from a friend’s house in Kansas City. After Ralph accidentally rang the wrong doorbell, the homeowner shot him twice before even starting a conversation.

Ralph miraculously survived this horrific incident — and after recovering, he earned a top spot in Missouri’s all-state band this year.

Black boys deserve to make harmless mistakes without fearing for their lives. We are SO proud of you, Ralph! 🪈🎷🎉

The family of a 16-year-old boy shot twice in the head by a white man last week has labeled the act a hate crime after saying the teenager was just trying to pick up his younger siblings from a friend’s house. The boy, Ralph Yarl, “mistakenly went to the wrong house” in a Kansas City neighborhood on Thursday, according to a GoFundMe set up by his aunt to handle medical expenses.Yarl pulled up the driveway and rang the doorbell. “The man in the home opened the door, looked my nephew in the eye, and shot him in the head,” his aunt, Faith Spoonmore, wrote. “My nephew fell to the ground, and the man shot him again.” Still conscious, Yarl ran for help, but Spoonmore alleged that he “had to run to 3 different homes” before someone came to his aid, and then only after ordering the 16-year-old to lie on the ground with his hands up. He was hospitalized, but “has a long road ahead mentally and emotionally,” the fundraiser page reads. The alleged gunman, who has not been identified, was taken into custody and brought to a police station to give a statement. Placed on a 24-hour hold, he was released pending further investigation, something the chief of the Kansas City Police Department spent much of a short Sunday press conference justifying

This asshole shot a kid twice in the head and was released into the public.

I saw so many posts about this last year but I haven't seen anyone give an update about him so here it is.

Ralph Yarl, a 16 year old Black boy in Missouri who was shot by a white man in April 2023 because he rang the doorbell of the wrong house when he went to pick up his younger brothers, survived being shot in the head and arm. He was still conscious after being shot, going door to door trying to find help, everybody but one person shut the door in his face.

He is now 17 and has a spot in Missouri's all-state-band, he plays the clarinet and saxophone.

Not that Republicans plan on funding mental health services anyway, but these last few civilian shootings have nothing to do with mental health. Somebody turned in a man’s driveway so he shot them. A Black child knocks on the wrong door, so the resident—who said that “seeing a Black person at his door scared him to death”—shot him! Teenage cheerleaders mistakenly get into the wrong car, he shoots them!

These are all boringly routine occurrences that happen every single day when you live in a society with other human beings.

The GOP and the NRA have cowardly gun nuts armed to the teeth and afraid of their own shadow.

Getting startled is not an excuse to murder someone.

Imagining the worst about a stranger isn’t an excuse to murder someone. Nobody is responsible for the fearful imaginations of trigger happy cowards.

These are cowards. Not “Patriots”. COWARDS. Cowards who love cosplaying that they’re living in some shoot ‘em up fantasy.

They charged the man who shot Ralph Yarl in the head in Kansas City. All because the kid rang the wrong doorbell.
