What a fucking joke.
A 1 year prison sentence for an attempted terrorist attack? WTF IS WRONG WITH LITERALLY EVERYONE IN THIS STORY? How is everyone talking about this like the guy made a racist joke, and should be forgiven just cause he's old, and not like he literally just tried to murder 6 people because of their race?
Jesus Christ.
Seriously, can you imagine if it was a brown guy trying to kill 6 people because they're white?
There would have been no trial at all. Brown driver would be dead before the vehicle stopped moving. There cops would have made sure of that.
the cops here were prolly watching like "oh shit he didnt kill any if them i guess we have to arrest him now"
I think you misunderstood who was being quoted in the article...Marvin Dunn is the 83 year old historian and black man who was almost run over. He was the one calling for forgiveness and saying those things to the judge. I recommend you read it again with that perspective
No, I read it with that perspective and I stand by what I said. Marvin Dunn is probably a better human than me, since even though I'm fairly anti-carceral, I cannot fathom letting someone back on the streets a year after they tried to murder 6 people with a 4 ton piece of heavy machinery.
No need to shoehorn your religion in your virtue signalling
Ooooooh edgy.
Agreed, crimes bad we all know, pipe down attention seeker
Lmao, bruh, when people think that everything said is "virtue signalling" that's usually just a sign that they're a bad person.
