No, you did not assert that you believe that happened in this case. However, when faced with any alternate possibility, or even a lack of information, your reply is the above. It is hard not to draw a conclusion from that.

From the information provided in the article (all we have to go on) one could also say that being a black man and entering through a side door that someone opened for you is a sure way to get yourself killed.
When faced with absolutely ridiculous alternative possibilities, yeah, I'll reply like I did earlier... He came in "to have a piece of pie"? Really?

IIRC, the article (all we have to go on, right?) stated that he got into a confrontation once inside. So, your claim of "being a black man and entering through a side door that someone opened for you is a sure way to get yourself killed", is just silly

Do you know the color of the man who shot him? Or the color of the people who were inside the Applebees? Or the color of the people who got into the altercation outside?

No? Then why should the color of the man who was shot matter?

Unless, of course, one is trying to make this a racial issue...
