Well, some of that, maybe some bigotry against black victims and mentally ill victims.
Favoritism toward a veteran, even though his background (and training) should have been at the top of the list SUPPORTING his guilt (because he knew what he was doing the entire time).
BS, that is not what happened. We even have the police interview tapes that talk about what happened. Nice try Che... keep backing the evil, losing side.
It’s not like he shot him in self defense, he put the guy in a choke hold, which takes time to kill someone with. I don’t believe his intention was to kill him, but he did. He’s white and military, that absolutely helped his case, history doesn’t lie.
Right!? How could he be expected to know that continuing to deny somebody oxygen after they're unconscious due to lack of oxygen would result in death 🙄
Character fully figures into motive, pre-meditation, mindset and can determine whether a case goes to trial, character witnesses, the juries verdict to the sentence if guilty.
After riding the Subways for years and being scared shirtless by aggressive people like Neely, NOTHING is anywhere near plain, in that situation. I am not violent but would gladly have put some holes in the guy based on his behavior from what I have read. It's scary being trapped by someone unstable
New York City juries are stacked with White Supremacists OR maybe people that rode the Subways during Covid and post Covid when riders were constantly harassed, threatened, saw or experienced serious violence near daily or weekly, perhaps. I stayed off the trains.
why people who are trained to essentially kill people are allowed to forget all their training and make “mistakes” that get people hurt or killed is insane to me…
A jury of his peers would be racist or apathetic ppl deemed him not guilty. Not really the gotcha moment you think. We all know the dog whistles and aggressiveness ppl allow with poor black ppl. They receive the least amount of sympathy, why would we expect a jury to defend the victim?
you don’t get to fucking murder people just because you served our country. When you’re on home soil, you have to follow the rules.
And no shade, but no one cared when a black veteran was pepper sprayed by a police officer a few years ago. HIS service didn’t matter then. So why should Penny’s?
Are we changing the subject? Does white privilege apply here? I think a respectable guy reacted to an aggressive guy, that riders testified "terrified them " was "aggressive to a different level" was lurching at people? Was the city scary at that time? It was.
No, you’re the one that brought up the race card, so I want you to see that the so called race card goes both ways. In terms of the killer, he basically got away with murder, which is what white privilege has historically done in this country.
But...the actions were criminal. There was no reason to put his hands on the man nor restrain him. That is called assault. I believe the race card is accurate, in my opinion, because had the races been reversed, the black man would have been locked up.

But this is ok?

The man chose not to, because he felt, like you probably feel, killing someone is "justice" when that someone is a blight on society.
And he saved people's lives that day!
