US Authoritarianism

Yeah, we get it.

"N@#$%r. Guilty."

Not addressing the decades of suppressing black progress and wealth accumulation that leads to black youth dealing drugs and committing muggings or breaking and entering. Look what happened in Tulsa, Oklahoma when they had their own prosperous community. Can't have them n@#$%rs being better than us.

Then, they plead guilty to crimes they didn't commit, or to a charge much more severe than deserved to get lesser time than if the case had went to jury. Which would most likely be predominately white. Which funnels them into the prison system that uses them as slave labor, just like the good ol' days. When 'Murica Was Great.

Fuck that Klan shit.

It is likely that if LaKeith had been tried as a juvenile and/or tried appropriately for the burglary, he would be free today.

Are we assuming this is a good thing. He broke into a home with a gunman ready to murder the occupant. What sort of man is he now?

This alone is absolutely insane to me. Where I am from, if you're under 18 there is no option to be tried as an adult, even 20 year olds can be tried as an adolescent here.

your lack of awareness of how plea deals and intimidation and dishonesty around them are actively weaponized against accused, with disproportionate impacts on minorities, is apparent. In addition, the all-white jury is always worth mentioning, and hand-waiving of its particular importance to the outcome is screening for white supremacy. It is off the bat not a jury of his peers, and that it turned up like that regardless of the outcome is criminal. It almost never is a proportionally-representative jury of one's peers when it is a black person charged with a crime. And there is a long, and deliberately-racist legacy and history why that is.

"ready to murder" is grotesque and malicious falsehood from the information provided. I didn't see anything implying the people whose houses were broken into were caused any bodily harm nor that being the intent from the robbers least of all the 15 year old kid they threw the book at for his friend dying in a shootout. Most people who have weapons to rob are not intending to kill anyone, only intimidate for compliance, or be prepared if they are met with lethal force so they don't end up dying themselves (while explicitly hoping that does not happen, because robbers/muggers are there to get money or jewels or electronics or whatever, not kill or die). If they intended to kill the people they robbed, which was a few houses broken into, those people robbed would be dead. Instead, the cops themselves got into a firefight with a friend of the 15 year old kid who they threw the book at, who himself didn't shoot anyone and was cowering in a bush. There is a reason there are different crimes regarding armed robbery vs breaking and entering vs different homicide types and degrees, etc. Not that you seem to care much.

"What sort of man is he now?" what kind of chauvinist colonialist celebratory rhetoric is that? Gross. You sound indistinguishable from MAGA people about stuff like this.
