look at all the shooting news from this past weekend. Find one single white suspect from the 40+ shootings. Then maybe your hypothetical situation would make more sense

What does race have to do with anything, when you have no respect for human life, i don’t care what color or race u are, black, white, yellow, red, pink or blue, you deserve the punishment coming to u. By they way i am black.

Lets stop putting these thugs in jail and taking care of them for the rest of their lives. Don’t wate the money. Bring back public hanging. You hang a few of these mf’s and things will change.
