When Jarvis McKenzie locked eyes with the man in the car, he couldn't understand the hate he saw. When the man picked up a rifle, fired over his head and yelled “you better get running, boy!” as he scrambled behind a brick wall, Mr. McKenzie knew it was because he is Black.

Mr. McKenzie told his story a month after the shooting because South Carolina is one of two States along with Wyoming that don't have their own hate crime laws.
