Conservatives like Armstrong Williams and Tucker Carlson accused Biden of giving more relevance to Yarl's shooting despite Gillis' case being very similar.
Kansas City teenager Ralph Yarl survived after being shot twice by 84-year-old Andrew Lester, a white homeowner. Lester, who shot Yarl in the head a first time and then shot him in the arm after the teen fell down, was arrested and now faces charges of first-degree assault and armed criminal action.
The 20-year-old woman, Kayling Gillis, didn't survive after being shot by 65-year-old Kevin Monahan in the town of Hebron. Gillis was a passenger in the vehicle Monahan fired at. According to Washington County Sheriff Jeffrey Murphy, Monahan has shown"no remorse" for shooting and killing the young woman. Monahan is also white.
In both cases, there was no reported interaction between the teenager and the young woman and the men who shot them. According to authorities, neither of the two young people posed any threat to the homeowners."There's little doubt that Biden has treated the cases differently because his base is invested in the narrative of structural racism and violence against the Black community being endemic in America," Dr.
Research shows that gun violence affects Black people much more than white people. A 2022 poll conducted by the University of Chicago Harris School of Public Policy and the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research found that one in five Americans say they have experienced gun violence in their lives.
