      White boy crosses state lines with a rifle with the intent to instigate trouble and murder his political opponents, does just that: acquitted

      Black girl is sex trafficked, assaulted, and drugged by a white man who had a history of sex trafficking and was already under investigation for sex trafficking, kills her assailant in self defense: gets 11 years

      This country is rotten to the fucking core. Death to America.

    How the fuck do you not lose all hope in humanity after going through that and this being the fucking verdict?

    And also, so this country loves guns until they are used in perhaps one of the most morally defensible possible situations?

    Fuck this place hard

    From what I read, it seems like if she just shot the guy she might have gotten off. I think the big thing that sunk her was lighting the house on fire and stealing the car.

    That being said, it's a fucking miscarriage of justice that it even got that far in the first place. Dude was already arrested and released on multiple sex crime charges and possession of a ton of CSAM.

    Its fucking disgusting that our legal system lets these vulnerable people just fend for themselves and the second they do a crime against their abusers they get treated like the bigger criminal.

    I guess the moral of the story is the classic "one crime at a time" /s

    I try to understand people. I really can't force my brain into a shape that can contain these thoughts. Like, how did thr bailiff not immediate frag the Judge, the jury, then himself?

    this is just a headline with no details but the fact she was 17 really stands out to me, seems like they'd have to go out of their way to prosecute her case as an adult to get such a high sentence which is just another infuriating layer.

    the bbc article says she accepted a plea deal because a trial had a possibility for a life sentence, idk if that was a good move or not in a normal country she would be acquitted by a jury but this is america

    Self defense is vigilantism in bad country.

    Motherfuck everyone involved in this happening. If Elizabeth Smart had killed her kidnappers would she also have been charged? Of fucking course she wouldn't. Oh and fuck QAnon and all the water it has muddied with their bullshit while stuff like this happens. Fuck the people that made the Taken movies too.
