Let's just settle this. 1. Karmelo was in another teams tent. 2. An adult should have handled the situation. 3. Shoving someone isn't grounds to stab them when you have the ability and are asked to leave. 4. You don't bring a weapon to a HS event

There are plenty of cases where justice is not served fairly to African Americans, this isn't one.

The case is pretty cut and dry and it’s only a national issue bc it got blown up into one. Thinking anything other than a guilty verdict would come from it was delusional.

Yes, he should. He crossed state lines as a minor with a firearm, he had no business being there, especially with a weapon.

As I said, there is a two tiered justice system but because justice isn’t served in some situations we should let it slide everywhere else? They should all be rotting in a cell for the rest of their lives

you're the only person talking about letting it slide. it should be manslaughter, not murder. in a moment of fear and passion he went too far. he absolutely deserves consequences, but not what's being handed down. he doesn't deserve life or similar

Fear and passion aren’t excuses for murder. Fear for your life is, which had no reason to be so. Punch them in the face or something, pulling a knife in a fight is a bitch move anyways. Do you think the dead kid is only dead for part of his life? He’ll get to come back in 20 years? No, if anything the chance of him or any killer getting out is far too much grace

you're the only one talking about excuses. imprisoning somebody for manslaughter is not an excuse, it's a literal punishment not everybody who murder or manslaughters spends their life in prison and the same is true of all their victims never coming back. we don't determine sentences based on whether or not the dead can come back to life. it's based on the circumstances of the crime. these circumstances don't warrant this clearly racialized ruling

Im talking about excuses because you are making them. Not because I pulled it out of my ass. Yes it’s a fucking punishment that’s what you get for ending a goddamn life. Every single killer should get the chair. You don’t get to take a life and live, you took everything they had, the victim doesn’t even get a cell. So sorry I’m not empathetic with human scum. Stop trying to act like this was an accident or his life was in danger so it’s self defense. He killed him in cold blood.

ranting and raving about how you want a punitive legal/judicial system and capital punishment (specifically "the fucking chair") across the board doesn't demonstrate a high "value of life". you're projecting you want to kill - in one of the most inhumane ways possible - every single person who's killed... batshit, anti-life take. there are families of victims who would be horrified by that idea. and that's setting aside exoneration rates

the mask really always comes off with this stuff. to you it's not at all about justice. it's about punishment. it's about an eye for an eye. you don't really care if it's unfair for different groups as long as some of them are convulsing and frothing at the mouth in front of an audience. sick
