    Under Texas law he'll be eligible for parole after serving half his sentence.

    You are kidding Right?


    Their - This shows possession and means "belonging to them".

    Quick Trick: Try replacing the word with "they are." If the sentence still makes sense, use "they're." If it doesn't make sense, use "their"



    ENGLISH!!! DO YOU SPEAK IT!! Cause you obviously cannot write it.



    A rose by any other name . . ..

    The problem is how uneven unfair and one-sided the justice system
    Rick Chow - Chased a boy out of his store and shot him in the back - accused the kid of steal and the tape shows he did not - NOT GUILTY VERDICT
    ---------------- so I know he killed someone when he didn't need to, and there needed to be harsh consequences.
    Zimmerman - Stalked and killed a Trayvon. A boy walking in his own neighborhood - NOT GUILTY VERDICT
    ---------------- so I know he killed someone when he didn't need to, and there needed to be harsh consequences.
    Soon Ja Du - She shot LaTasha Harlin in the back of the head - Accused of stealing - no evidence of it. - A jury found Du guilty of voluntary manslaughter. However, the presiding trial judge, Joyce Karlin, rejected the jury's recommendation of 16 years in prison, instead sentencing Du to five years probation, 400 hours of community service, and a $500 fine with zero jail time.
    ---------------- so I know She killed someone when she didn't need to, and there needed to be harsh consequences.
    Tom Horn - Was told by police to stay in his house. He grabbed his rifle and went hunting and killed two people - Found Not Guilty
    ---------------- so I know he killed someone when he didn't need to, and there needed to be harsh consequences.

    I feel like alcohol may have had a very strong effect on this thread yesterday.

    He brought his own death on himself

    you think you are the moral authority and can demand us to do somethin and if we say no you wanna exert your white privledge and get physical ok… let’s play

    Austin metcalf is not the police or judge jury and executioner.

    Its “Im white and I say so” complex

    The funny part about all of this is that it was a thunderstorm and they were in a 15 minute rain delay. If their was no rain Im sure Karmelo would have moved instead he got physical and got permanently put to sleep


    chudthebuilder says we “chimping out”

    it’s already some yns in Clarksville Alledgedly that want chuds head as a trophy. Charlie Kirk wanted to stop black on black crime the easiest way to accomplish this is to kick it off

    they want some get back and to send the yts a message that no disrespect will be tolerated. He is currently in pc from what I hear lol, I want the judge to grant chud bail. Hes a deadman walking anyways lol

    There are certainly parts of my jaded by my profession, but not sure that this is the case.

    Agree that prison doesn't usually rehabilitate people.

    I am in favor of rehabilitating people - but I am not in favor of releasing people convicted of serious sex crimes and serious violent crimes. The reason isn't because of "an eye for an eye", it is because the risk is extremely high to the public once they are let back into society.

    I have empathy for someone wanting to be allowed back into society after decades behind bars.

    The United States has seen violent crime decrease, but it is still too high for a country with the wealth and resources available.

    There are many reasons for that -- and those issues need to be addressed -- but no, I do not think that males that are convicted of crimes like aggravated rape, child molestation or murder should ever be let out into the general population. I have seen too many repeat offenders, and part of the reason the crime rate has fallen is that we started putting repeat offenders in prison until they were very old or died.

    Sure -- and FWIW the court actually can consider both, at least in Illinois.

    Having said that, a 17-year-old that murders someone should not get out of prison. I would have said otherwise even a decade ago, but I have seen way too many repeat offenses, and people that return to society and injure and in some cases rape or kill people in the general public.

    Your first sentence is incorrect. Refer to the trial for reference.

    The rest of your post is a rambling, nonsensical mess. I did catch the racist tones though as I skimmed over it.

    In most cases, the problem existed and was not addressed by our culture or society or government BEFORE someone goes to jail.

    We have almost no sense of community or connection with each other. We are a country of individuals; we don't really view we are "in this together" and mental health has only recently become addressed in schools at an early age.


    A lot of people in prison for non-violent crimes leave prison and avoid returning and most women do not reoffend.

    People convicted for serious violent offenses and pedophilia have a very high chance or reoffending, and reoffending a number of times.

    A lot of experts believe that the US could cut its violent crime rate by 50% or more by doing a better of job of taking care of children.

    I too was in trouble as a juvenile - was removed from my home, etc.

    The problem needs to be addressed very early - and it usually isn't.

    There is NO question that the US legal system has a long history of being unfair to minorities (especially black men) - because it is a reflection of the greater USA. Being poor - being black are two strikes to begin with. The system is still biased, just like our society as a whole is.

    The key is that the USA doesn't care enough - we are a very selfish society.

    I agree. Prison is full of people with zero impulse control. That’s why they are there. That probably doesn’t magically get better when you are housed with other people with that same problem.

    So are you saying that Karmelo is innocent?

    You think plunging a knife into that boy’s heart was justified? Because of a tiny shove?

    You’re all sick people

    Stupid and racist is a very dangerous combo... How the hell do these people even get to such positions? Is this due to racial biased voting?

    you have serious issues with reading comprehension. ive told you multiple times that i agreed with the verdict. ive stated multiple times that shoving someone doesnt justify stabbing them and thats why he was convicted.

    you clearly havent even read up on the facts of the case as you spent the last few pages falsely claiming that austin didnt shove/assault karmelo before the stabbing. either that or you have no clue about the law. you just seem very confused about all this. and you also clearly have serious anger and emotional issues.

    even by trumper standards you are a really uninformed, low-IQ lil' buddy.
