It's really important to know the details because it's the details that allow us to parse and challenge injustice effectively.

Knowing the context of Felony Murder and how it applies to this sentencing is not saying 'this is fine then, no worries'. Rather, it means we can actually talk about the systematic issues in the legal system that enable things like this.

The comment you replied to was in no way 'word salad' or 'copaganda', it was context.
