She got forgiveness.
Killed a person in his own house and she got forgiveness and 10 years.
What does that say to everyone?
Something I saw just today is that it says the following:
To the white: "You can do whatever you want, they will forgive you."
To the black: "You are never safe, no matter what. But you better accept it with a smile and grace and quiet, Jesus like behavior, because if you get angry, you'll get dismissed or attacked yourself, with words and public opinion if not as the next PoC to get killed when someone feels 'unsafe' or 'threatened' or 'saw someone enjoying a bbq in a public park'
There is so much that is just... BROKEN about how such a small environmental adaptation has eaten up and consumed this planet and the people who live on it.
I don't know how to fix it. I'm trapped by it. It informs me so much, even though I try not to think about it.

@kelseyhusky living with this informed King, Marshall, DuBois, people better than I could ever be, good company at least. All we can ever do in the face of such horror is to insist that this is hurtful and counterproductive, no matter what we’re “supposed” to think about it. It sucks and I’m sorry.

@kelseyhusky I mean there’s more I could say but. You’re heard. I agree with you about what’s being said here, and it’s terrible.
