  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Over and over we see this. There is no accountability.
Judges should be held accountable when these things happen. If it was a white judge allowing a KKK member out and a black person were killed there would be riots.

Over and over again, you guys and your rage bait don’t really think through what you’re screaming for.

The guy was arrested in January for a misdemeanor for making a bogus 911 call. He committed the murder 7 months later. Are you seriously suggesting that we jail somebody for 7 months for a bad phone call?

Court records show he had cycled through the criminal justice system for more than a decade, with 14 prior cases in Mecklenburg County, including a five-year prison sentence for robbery with a dangerous weapon. His mother told local television she sought an involuntary psychiatric commitment earlier this year after he became violent at home. Doctors diagnosed him with schizophrenia.

If I may add, the article also said: "Over the next seven years, he was arrested at least six times for crimes including felony larceny, robbery with a dangerous weapon and communicating threats. According to the Charlotte Observer, most of the charges he faced during that time were dropped."
What we are looking at is multiple opportunities by the judicial system to put the guy away and protect society.

If things were different there’d be a different reaction by different people?

What does the KKK or a black person have to do with the problem at hand? The issue is your offense at the handling of the party in light of their crimes. Not the people you’re trying to drag into the conversation to make a point.

My point is that liberal judges allowing a 14 time arrest offender out and that person then kills someone. My other point, as others have noted, is that if the races were reversed, the left would have had a cow!

Are you suggesting that we jail people for the crimes that they might commit someday in the future? They made a movie about how badly that turns out - and that was even with precogs.

That's correct, but aside from that 5-year hitch, none of you guys have provided any specifics about what he did, when he did it, and what he should have been punished with. Were those 14 prior cases shoplifting and loitering? Or were they aggravated assault? Were they 10 years ago or last month? OP and others in his article are screaming that this guy wasn't still imprisoned for making a bogus 911 call nine months ago. Even the most hang-em-high judge+DA pair wouldn't have jailed him for that long.

His mother told local television she sought an involuntary psychiatric commitment earlier this year after he became violent at home. Doctors diagnosed him with schizophrenia.
Schizophrenia isn't a punishable offense. It's tragic that his mother couldn't get him help, but her experience is hardly unique, and hardly unique to Democrat-run states. It's a problem everywhere.

his point was that black people are coddled by the justice system, which is relevant and true.

this type of unprovoked black on white violent assault is a routine occurrence

this event in particular is a bit of a flashpoint because it just happened to be captured on video in such vivid and horrific detail

Interesting that I read "JAIL HIM FOR LIFE! SO MANY OPPORTUNITIES TO PUT HIM AWAY" (not really..not for low level things).

Nobody is saying "WE NEED TO STRENGTHEN MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORTS IN THIS COUNTRY"... Until a right winger shoots someone up.

Did his mom say he should be "locked up"? I didn't go too deep but it sounds like she's actually advocating for him to be held on a psychiatric eval. (whatever that may mean down there)....

Your point should not have referenced race at all. There’s good and bad on the bench resulting in harm for many citizens. See the difference? But you said what you did because you meant it.

The article mentions armed robbery and assaulting his sister. The liberal court system failed society, failed his victim, he should have been locked up, whether in prison or in a mental facility was for the courts to determine.

He had already been released for other crimes. He should have been in a mental institution.

It is a factor when violent crime is involved.

(staff edit)

of course crime happens all the time, but it's not a normal thing for a white guy to brutally attack some random black guy who just happens to be nearby.

however, the inverse is very common. it is routine to see a black guy or 'teen' knocking out some random white person who just happens to be in the vicinity. it's actual racial hatred expressed violently out in the open and has been going on a long time.

(staff edit)

it's not a "race card" - it's reality. im not the one hiding from it.

When your lens is political you’re already skewed. You see threats everywhere irrespective of the side. But to each his own
