Since he admits he was guilty under the terms of the law I don’t see how this is possibly relevant. Are we knowing he is guilty supposed to think they were biased for finding him guilty?
LaKeith was non-violent
Breaking into homes with a gun to shoot the home owner if things get dicey isn’t non-violent. Invading people’s home is inherently violent
offered him a plea deal of “only” 25 years.
Which would have seen him potentially out in 20 a man of 35
LaKeith, being a child with a life ahead of him, declined the plea deal and exercised his constitutional right to a trial.
It is absolutely his right but it was also fucking stupid.
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?
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.
Mugging people and invading their homes is an evil act when anyone does it. Systemic racism didn’t make those young men break into another man’s home with a gun. The young man in question pled innocent to a crime he did in fact commit. He got a jury and they put him away ultimately for about 30 years after it was adjusted to be concurrent instead of consecutive. Considering one fellow young person is dead and either a cop or a family might have been killed I don’t think he got a rough deal. Now that he is in prison he wont be victimizing his community.
Look at all the other people of the same background living and working in their community who would never invade their neighbors home or fucking shoot them because not even desperate poverty makes them want to kill or rob their fellows.
I’m anti Putin, Trump, Nazis, and anti burglar. How hard is that? Just because you identify authority as your enemy doesn’t mean everyone on the other side is your ally. The cop abusing his authority in your community and the burglar breaking into your house may be on opposing sides but neither is on yours.
The folks that break into your house with a gun aren’t victims. They don’t need sympathy. They don’t need lighter sentences so they can crime better next time when they get out. FUCK THOSE GUYS.
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.
have weapons to rob are not intending to kill anyone, only intimidate for compliance,
The only people who act like this are garbage human beings. Being poor or discriminated against doesn’t make you break into your neighbors house with a gun to intimidate him into letting you take his property.
The fact of the jury being all white is irrelevant because the juries only role is to decide guilt and he is manifestly by his own and his own defenders words guilty of the crime the jury found him guilty of. HE SAID HE DID IT.

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.

Yeah, we get it.

Your rant is embarrassing.
Fuck Putin, fuck Trump, fuck Neo-Nazis, and fuck anyone who blindly worships authority. Don’t like that? Fuck you, too.

EVERYONE WHO DISAGREES WITH ME IS RACIST #BOOKLICKER #FACIST #MYPARENTSDIDNTLOVEME
When you grow up, you’ll understand. Meanwhile, take out the garbage like you were told.
By the way, fuck Putin, and fuck Trump.

How is Chauvin recovering from his 20 something stab wounds? Too bad the dude didn’t finish the job.
