The cases of Ralph Yarl and Kaylin Gillis are all over the news now.
Both Ralph and Kaylin were shot by elderly homeowners who were overreacting to what they may have thought were trespassers.
Both cases are in the news. But they’re getting a very different treatment. One guess as to why.
Ralph Yarl armed only with ‘black skin,’ family lawyer says – AP
That’s true, insofar as Ralph’s skin color was the only reason his case is being blown up and treated as a racist attack despite the lack of a single shred of supporting evidence.
While Ralph was only wounded, Kaylin is dead. But it’s okay. As a white woman in the BLM era, her life officially matters less.
Had Kaylin been black, she’d no doubt be getting the Black Lives Matter treatment. Since she was unfortunate enough to be born without black nationalist skin privilege, it’s just being covered as a tragedy.
But what’s the difference between the two cases?
Ralph’s shooter was in his eighties, Kaylin’s in his sixties. Kaylin was part of a larger group that was lost and the property was more isolated. But basically the cases are fairly similar.
Kaylin’s case is more damning because she was actually killed and the shooter, who was younger, left his house.
Ralph’s case is weaker because the shooter is much older and was in his house.
The only reason to privilege Ralph’s case is that manufacturing racism is the tainted oxygen that sustains leftist power and mythology.
The differing treatment of Ralph’s case and Kaylin’s case shows what a separate and unequal system looks like.
And that’s what we have.
“Doug and I are praying for Ralph Yarl and his family as he fights for his life,” Kamala Harris tweeted. “Let’s be clear: No child should ever live in fear of being shot for ringing the wrong doorbell. Every child deserves to be safe. That’s the America we are fighting for.”
Every child. As long as the child isn’t white.
Halle Berry, Kerry Washington and other millionaire celebrities soon joined the lynch mob. And segregationist pal Joe Biden, who has yet to see a racism claim he couldn’t jump on, has pounced on this one.
President Joe Biden spoke with Ralph Yarl and his family on Monday amid a national outcry over the shooting of the 16-year-old Black high school student, a White House official confirmed.
Yarl’s attorneys, Ben Crump and Lee Merritt, said Biden offered prayers for Yarl’s health and justice. Yarl left the hospital on Monday and is recovering at home, after suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.
President Joe Biden has invited Ralph Yarl to the White House when he recovers.
No calls to Kaylin’s family. BLM means her life did not matter.
The boyfriend of a New York woman who was killed Saturday after the couple pulled into the wrong driveway while searching for a party recalled her final moments Tuesday, saying in an interview that his life was shattered.
Walsh said the four friends were traveling with another vehicle that also pulled into the wrong driveway. The group realized they were at the wrong home and were leaving.
We thought we were at the right address,” Walsh said. “We didn’t have any cell service to figure it out. As soon as we figured it out that we were at the wrong location, we started to leave, and that’s when everything happened.”
Walsh said what occurred next was a blur.
“My friend said, ‘They’re shooting — go!’ I tried to step on the gas as fast as I could, and that’s when the fatal shot came through,” Walsh said.
Walsh said he met Gillis, an animal lover and aspiring marine biologist who graduated from Schuylerville High School in 2021, when he was a sophomore in high school.
The couple often spoke about being the “2%,” he said, citing an apparent statistic that indicated only 2% of high school sweethearts get married.
They had been a couple for more than four years.
“I had high hopes, and I had plans,” Walsh said. “I didn’t want to be with anybody else, and I wanted to spend the rest of my life with her.”
He said of Gillis: “I want the world to know how good of a person she really was and how much she impacted everybody who had the fortunate opportunity to be in her life.”
Walsh said he’ll miss “her smile,” “her eyes” and “how happy she was able to make me.”
He added, “My world was taken from me Saturday.”
Sorry, doesn’t matter. Wrong race. No call from Joe Biden. Try losing the love of your life while being black next time.

Should have had a gate or a chain on that rural road/driveway.
The black kid was obviously not too smart. Got the address wrong, didn’t read the “no solicitors” sign, tried to force his way into the homeowners house.
Spamf Roming says
Why do people also buy his story that he was “picking up his brother” at the wrong house. Every break-and-enter crook has an excuse of why they were trying to force their way through a locked door. Also the giveaway is that ONLY criminals get the BLM treatment. If the BLM crowd even mentions them, they are criminals.
Algorithmic Analyst says
Thanks, good point.
i Jeff Bargholz says
Yes, we’re all supposed to feel sorry for the poor black “Victim” but I don’t. Why was he there to begin with? No good reason, that.s for sure.
Algorithmic Analyst says
Thanks Jeff. These days heavy doors with peepholes are needed, no glass that the perp outside can see through or break in order to open the door. In the 1950s it was fashionable to have glass at the front doorway, noone back then thought about the problem of criminals breaking in (at least in the more well-to-do areas 🙂
Una Salus says
White lives matter precisely as much as F&G whites want them to matter and not less which is not much.
Una Salus says
F&G don’t want to know about white lives. Actually, they don’t really care about black lives. What they want hear is, their plan is working.
Una Salus says
Americans must be the most race obsessed racetards on the planet and nobody will care about their universal aspirations for greatness afterwards. Much like moral superpower Europe that thinks it’s leading by example.
Algorithmic Analyst says
It’s a daily matter of life and death in USA. Isn’t it dangerous in the UK also?
Nobody Was Here says
I have a close friend in London area. Mentioned I’d like to go spend some time there, asked him how it is. “The nice parts are nice. The not nice parts are violent, very violent,” he said.
This from a person who knows violence and understands it.
i Jeff Bargholz says
I’ve heard very bad things about London. Particularly about the Somalians.
Beez says
It wasn’t like this until shortly after Nov. 4, 2008.

after reading your limey wanker incoherence for the past few months the only conclusion to be had is that there’s a shortage of adderall there, too! either that or you’re just another limey, wanking re-re beating on a keyboard while eating fish & chips in a cry closet.

Daniel: You don’t need to publish this. Your very important, I would say vital, site seems to be under attack by a nasty breed of argumentarians, including some who argue with themselves. I generally read comments wherever I go (and make some too) but this trend is a terrible turn-off. Good luck with this annoying problem!
Daniel Greenfield says
I’m sorry. We tend to err on the side of free speech, but yes there are 2 or 3 people who are taking advantage of that and driving readers away..
Darrel says
I am so fed up of all this that I am now a proud racist.
CowboyUp says
I’m still a culturalist. I’ve seen too many of all races that see the light. Be always on your guard, whatever the race, but judge each human as an individual.
Mickorn says
The difference, even if you are right about the double standard, is that none of the sources you cite show the level of moral decrepitude you display here. Show me a writer at any of the leftist rags you hate who is using Kaylin Gillis’ death to score a rhetorical point.
If you limited yourself to highlighting the double standard, that would be a legitimate position. But instead you insist on downplaying the horrifying shooting Ralph Yarl by means of slander and malicious innuendo. The “lynch mob”???? Now you get to use that phrase whenever it pops into your head?
Look at the comments your writing elicits. You feel good about “now I’m a racist” guy? That’s how you want to save our country?
You are disgusting.
dani says
hey micky, you putz, do you squeal as loudly for the hundred of black lives snuffed out by other blacks in the shooting galleries – AKA ‘progressive’ krapholes – on a regular basis? of course not. Phony schmucks like you only get your panties in a bunch when there’s a white person involved. Get lost, clown.
gmmay70 says
Your writing elicits me to say that you’re an idiot. You feel good about that? Does that strike you as a valid criticism? No? You might want to think a little next time before you hit the reply button.
No one downplayed Yarl’s shooting. That’s just your crappy interpretation. The point was about the double standard and the author made that sufficiently. “Lynch mob” is not a race-specific term, nor is it out of place here.
You might try reading slower next time as well, to prevent making an ass of yourself.
CowboyUp says
Mick’s interpretations rarely match reality, or the points of Daniel’s articles. You’re right gmmay, lynch mob isn’t a race specific term, but it’s been a steady democrat term all along. They were the party of the lynch mob in the Jim Crow days, and they still are.
i Jeff Bargholz says
Are you really such an asshole? how do you do it?
Daniel Greenfield says
Here you go
How the Media Repeated ‘Missing White Woman – New York Times
Major outlets have highlighted the case of Gabrielle Petito while often ignoring stories about women of color who go missing.
3 Minutes on Missing White Woman Syndrome – American University
Why is the media far more likely to seize on the disappearance of a White woman than that of a woman of color?
Media Fascination With The Petito Mystery Looks Like Racism To Some Native Americans – NPR
And that’s frustrating to people who say the media ignores an epidemic of missing and murdered Native American women in the state.
… that’s a short list, you can find plenty of other similar rants at your fave media outlets
gmmay70 says
I expect that all of the people complaining about this shooting are similarly aggrieved over the wildly disproportionate rate at which blacks kill whites. Right?
Kasandra says
Now Google “6-year-old, parents and neighbor shot after basketball rolls into North Carolina man’s yard.” Oh, did I mention the shooter was black and those he shot white? And what does Biden have to say about that?
ThatsFacts says
Daniel Greenfield, Your entire article is racist! And you sound like a racist white man. Stop with your hateful ways and speeches. Why don’t you contact the other privilege of Holly weird? No one is stopping the white elite of Hollyweird actors and singers from supporting and jumping on the bandwagon for this young woman or her family.
Why aren’t you and your friends helping this young lady’s family? Your privilege and have a white privilege card to go up in schools to kill kids and teachers. Then go to work and kill co-workers. Leave there and go home and murder your own family members. Shoot and kill black ppl with no repercussions. Because you had a mental episode and didn’t take your meds.
I’m certain you have a large fan base with Twitter Facebook Instagram and other Media outlets. Quit trying to compare one tragedy with another tragedy! Your racist ways are showing! Slave master!
i Jeff Bargholz says
Your’e insane. And an asshole. I I ever saw you I would fuck you up.

Any phone calls from Biden on those?
CowboyUp says
Define racism, I bet you can’t.
Tragedy is a tornado, you’re talking about an outrage, but you don’t know, or more likely care, about the difference beyond your “narrative.”
Fans are for leftists, y’all require lack of thought, so naturally you substitute race for ideology. Naturally you project the latest leftist mass murderers on us, when they were clearly yours. You’re the mass murdering scum, not us.

All this trouble started when Obama came on the scene.. I knew he was a white hater when he said on the 2008 campaign trail that his grandparents were “typical white folk.” These were people who lovingly raised him in Hawaii, sending him to private school. His real father, a black African man completely abandoned him.
I was kicked off Twitter in June 2020 for “trolling” Barack and Michelle Obama, demanding to know why they weren’t condemning the horrific BLM violence. Why, truth be told, they were enjoying every minute of it, Michelle more so than Barack. Remember, I’m a native Chicagoan very familiar with the mentality of the South Side.
A Night of the Long Knives.
