A Japanese man holes up in his house and shoots at those who try to take him away. A Caucasian man outside shoots back, fearing that the Japanese is a spy, whose information will lead to Japanese victory in the war. Both men are shooting, both fear for their lives. And in each case, the fear could arguably be justified, based on the information available to each man at the time.
A black man holes up in his car, shooting at a white cop wearing the same uniform as the guy who shoved a toilet plunger up his ass the day before. The cop shoots back, fearing that the black man is a drug dealer who will molest his children, plant a bomb on an airplane, and evade taxes. Both men are shooting, both fear for their lives, and both hate what the other man represents in their mind and life experience and would like to see him dead. The Jap picks them both off, from a rooftop, and lives happily ever after. ILoveAHappyEndingMongel
