For explanation, the poor people in North Carolina still have this law on the books, going back to reconstruction. Supposedly, the original intent of these laws were to insure you had the proper skin color to purchase a pistol. Most of the states around here have since repealed these laws, but those guys in North Carolina are a little slower than most.
I haven't spent much time there, but if the deceased subject of the news article is representative of the general population, it would be difficult to disagree with you.
It's usually kinda hard to make the news by being representative of the general population.
Point very well taken!

My favorite NC law is called
"Alienation of Affections"
If your spouse has an affair, you can recover damages from their lover.
What a great idea.

Could have used this law here in Texas about 9 years ago....

This is like many ideas that sound good on the surface until you run into the ugly details. The legal system is not a good tool for dealing with failed personal relationships. Ask Clara Harris (2002 Mercedes driver of the year) how it worked for her.

"Hold my beer!", except they said there wasn't alcohol. Maybe he just hadn't started drinking it yet.

Wow. I am a staunch creationist but sometimes it seems Darwin's Natural Selection works.

Not necessarily.
While some folks' purpose in life is to serve as a good example, other folks' mission is to serve as a warning to others.
I would suggest that the central character in this incident fits into the second category.
He's getting lots of press and making a lot of folks think.
