The black boy who shot Daniel Vinyard


What do you make of the fact that he was the boy who had smoke blown in his face by Danny Vinyard, yet later went on to shoot him dead in the same toilet cubicles, AND it turns out, he was there when his friends went out of the car to beat up Cameron and Seth, the two Neo-Nazis in the movie?

I can only guess that the blacks were out to wipe out white supremacy, but the boy misjudged with Daniel's killing. I mean, look at the black boy's face the moment Daniel's blood spatters his face, it's like, "what have I done?"

I think the black kid had a chip on his shoulder.

Danny just happened to be there.
