This seems like standard over-aggressive prosecutors wanting the biggest possible win. Sucks that it usually works on poor POC with no resources. If they had gone with reduced charges, he would have had no defense. But they had to charge him with 1st degree to show everyone how big their balls are, and that gave him…

Don’t feed the troll.

It’s still important for the law to be enforced equally though, even if it is a shitty law.

Kind of agree. I wish we could hear more about the prosecutor’s “gang member” argument. Because what was given here indicates that the prosecutor really didn’t have a solid argument - like that case in Illinois, rap music is not a solid case for anyone being a gang member. How many rappers have hit it big while lying…

You’re cramping his anti-Semitism.

I was under the impression “being white” was enough of a distinguishing feature to go with, rather than making assumptions about her religion based upon physical characteristics.

If the video was about Clinton and Obama’s shortcomings, I’d have no problem with that. But the fact that the Democrats were racist during Reconstruction has zero relevance toward the party today.

Don’t waste your time, he’s the troll formerly known as Tomato Face.

Yes because anti-Semitism is justified when someone - who you are ASSUMING is Jewish - does something disgusting and wrong.

. . .And of course, here is Exhibit A for why more education about the history of racism is a good thing.

Perhaps I’m overrating the Splinter commentariat, but doesn’t this seem more fitting for a 6th grade social studies class than for a group of reasonably well informed adults?

Aiding and Abetting charges (to me) seem to be over applied, though apparently only for Black, Latino and really poor white people.

yup just like I said, you’re a died in the wool trump supporter.

You mean this is why you supported trump, or at least got him elected tho right?

No. Men have sexual power in the sense that they routinely rape women without consequence. In the sense that women’s sexuality and aesthetics are shaped around men’s desires. In the sense that mainstream media, advertising, pornography, are all built around meeting men’s sexual wants. In the sense that women’s safety…
