    It arguably was an inappropriate thing to do....but I can't help but think actually making an issue out of it is somewhat silly.

    So ... because the victim was a sympathetic character, his killer gets a lesser sentence because the jury thinks he would have wanted to forgive her?

    What if he hadn't been a sympathetic character?

    It's worth pointing out that the kid is 18 for one and per one source I read, not even from the United States. He didn't grow up here and probably may not be aware of what his public hug was getting criticized. I've even heard a few people suggest he was literally retarded (and not in the "everyone I hate is stupider than me" way Dinner throws out) or possibly getting paid to set Guyger up for parole. This kinda reminds me of the public reaction the the Covington brat where the issues brought up by the actions poured out a lot of simmering issue and everyone on both sides used it as a proxy for their own beliefs.

    That said, I dunno why the judge and balliff jumped in. I think it's absolutely valid to ask if the judge ever gave hugs or patted the hair of any black folks she sent to prison for far less.

    Also-also, that lawsuit is stupid. :shrug:

    See above and my other post.

    Its like me trying to weigh in on the acceptable way to be trans with Nova and Tererun. I can't speak to the relations between black folks and whites in the UK but I can assume that your cops don't get to slaughter the lot of them or Asians and get away with it.

    Botham Jean's neighbor, a key witness in Amber Guyger trial, shot to death in Dallas
    Joshua Brown died at the hospital after Friday night's shooting in the 4600 block of Cedar Springs Road.

    A key witness in Amber Guyger's murder trial was shot and killed Friday evening at an apartment complex near Dallas' Medical District, authorities said.

    Joshua Brown, a neighbor of Botham Jean's and Guyger at the South Side Flats apartments, was slain about 10:30 p.m. in the 4600 block of Cedar Springs Road.

    Brown, 28, lived across the hall from Jean and testified about the night he was killed.

    Dallas County prosecutor Jason Hermus, the lead prosecutor in the Guyger case, said Saturday that Brown stood up at a time when others won't say what they know.

    "He bravely came forward to testify when others wouldn't, " Hermus said. "If we had more people like him, we would have a better world."

    On Friday night, several witnesses flagged down police and directed them to Brown's location. Police found him on the ground with multiple gunshot wounds.

    He was taken to Parkland Memorial Hospital, where he died from his injuries.

    Witnesses told police they heard several gunshots and saw a silver four-door sedan speeding out of the parking lot.

    No suspect description had been released.

    I hope they get to the bottom of that. However, it does not seem that his testimony would rise to the level that someone would want to kill him. I could be wrong there because I don't have the transcript of the court to look at.

    It was a dumb move but he is not dead yet, I imagine, so I suppose it all worked out and he probably ceased the dumber of his activities.

    Tried to get in my car last week, realized the door was locked (duh), pressed the unlock button on my fob, and the blue Subaru Impreza two cars over beeped. Good thing whoever it was locked their car, or I'd have been inside before I figgered it out. :unsure:

    Few folks realize that a lot of the local leaders of the Ferguson protest have come up coincidentally dead by violent means since and none of them even have any suspects, let alone arrest and conviction.

    Not just Ferguson but BLM and New Black Panthers leaders and activists in general. The very real convenient suicides by gunshot in the back of the head is partly why black folks outside the West Coast believe Nipsey Hussle had a hit out and the two guys who did it got paid. Naw, gun violence just be random like that in the LBC still. :shrug:

    But it's also why I long ago stopped subscribing to the Good Minority blending in to be more white in self-preservation.
    We act ghetto, we die.
    We act educated, we die.
    We exist, we die.

    I used to look my ghetto snobby nose up priding myself on having a "proper" name. It was every bit as stupid as white pride, and it did fuck all from stopping wypipo in the Navy from assuming shit about me anyway.

    Fuck it.

    Six people have died from Ferguson.

    Deandre Joshua was shot and burned in his car the night Darren Wilson was not indicted. 2014

    Darren Seals shot multiple times and burned in his car. 2016

    MarShawn McCarrel killed himself outside the state capital. 2016

    Edward Crawford Jr was in the backseat of a car when he told two people in the front he was feeling depressed and was distraught over personal matters. Rummaged around the back seat and shot himself. 2017

    Danye Jones hung himself. His mother found him hanging with a bed sheet and a chair very near him. There were no signs of struggle or trauma to the body and the family called 911 to report a suicide and though later the mother said it was a lynching there has never been any evidence to back that up. 2018

    Bassem Masri died from a drug overdose on a county bus. Fentanyl from the reports. 2018

    So two murders, three suicides, and one drug overdose.

    Joshua Brown, witness at the trial, killed in a shooting?

    It's a good chance the person who tried to kill him last year came back to finish the job. What's that you say?

    Well back in Nov 2018: https://www.dallasnews.com/news/cri...90gBvsHzXCMzdqjaHxEXMS4i8S2JlVCrQKY8C6X97tsnw

    Brown was almost killed. The killer waited for Brown to leave the club and fought him in the parking lot. When Brown and his friend tried to leave that's when the shooting started. Brown was hit in the foot and his friend was killed.

    Guess where the killer from that Nov 2018 incident was on the night of Joshua Brown's death a couple days ago?

    It wasn't in jail. He was and still is out on bond. :chris:

    How is one way people try to beat a murder charge? They kill the witnesses that survived the first time around.

    Killed by Eric Holder, not the former Attorney General ;) , who police believe had a personal beef with Hussle.

    In what time or place would you rather live?

    And skin color matters far too much to you for you to be part of the solution instead of the problem (i.e. perpetuating stereotypes or worsening race relations in the US). Even in my 30s (just two decades ago) I made decisions that I would reconsider if made today (participating in big brothers/sister of LI, lending money to a secretary at my first job at the US SEC, purely from race based concerns that today might be turned against me in ways I never would've considered in the 90s).

    Check.
    Not just a raging racist and a bigot but a homophobe.
    I guess you can comfort yourself that apparently a lot of people who share your skin color throw around homosexuality as an insult just like you do.

    Who under age 40 would fall for that bullshit drug scare D.A.R.E propoganda?

    Even in Texas, no one has to drive four fucking hour to score drugs. Even my square ass that's only bought legal cannabis in California knows that. :jayzus:

    Two people have been arrested in connection to the murder of Joshua Brown, a key witness in the murder trial of former Dallas police Officer Amber Guyger, and third suspect has been identified.

    Michael Mitchell, 32, who officials say was the suspected getaway driver in the Friday night slaying, was arrested at a motel in Marksville, Louisiana, Tuesday evening, Avoyelles Parish Sheriff's Office Chief Deputy Steven Martel said.

    Jacquerious Mitchell, 20, had previously been arrested and was in custody at a hospital, Dallas police Assistant Chief Avery Moore said at a news conference Tuesday.

    Thaddeous Green, 22, remains at large, police said.

    ......

    Police confiscated 12 pounds of marijuana, 149 grams of THC cartridges and $4,157 in cash during a search of Brown's home, Moore said.

    https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-new...ade-death-witness-amber-guyger-trial-n1063836

    The argument that people don't drive four hours for drugs is stupid.

    #1 We don't know what else was involved with the deal. The guys took off after killing Brown. They may have taken whatever else was part of the deal and gotten rid of it. One guy is still at large.

    #2 Criminals aren't the brightest. To say they wouldn't drive four hours to make a big drug deal is stupid.

    #3 They found 12 lbs of weed in Browns apartment. Assuming he was only selling weed to his killers how do we know he wasn't selling 12 lbs or more to them? It's plausible they wouldn't drive four hours for a few ounces of weeds but if you're buying pounds of it than why wouldn't you make the drive? If you're selling it you're going to be making profits enough to cover the cost of the trip.

    The police know what happened because there is no doubt in my mind that Jacquerious Mitchell who was shot by Brown spilled the beans to the police while in the hospital. That's why they know who they are looking for. They caught the second guy and the third one will be nabbed eventually.

    I thought these were guys looking to score a hit so for that purpose originally.

    That said, why would he show his face on national television if he was dealing that much? Why wouldn't the prosecution have dug into his past to discredit him? That's not the type of thing to.let slide in a cop murder trial, I would think. :shrug:
