You say that like the US government has any respect for the Second Amendment anymore

It was written by racists, so if you abuse the notion of intention one could argue that it was meant explicitly for racists.

I am quite confident that this attorney would not have believed that "if only he had frozen" would be a completely logical defence had the killers been black and the victim white.

I mean, he had already gotten his clients off, it had been two months the local authorities had actively said they weren't going to charge them...there was no real reason to 'prove their innocence', we haven't really heard of anyone pressing this cold blooded murder investigation. By all accounts they had gotten away with it.

So maybe you're right, maybe the real reason this video was released was to show those uppity [nope not even for a joke] what happens if they "come 'round these parts."

That fucking idiot got them both sent to jail, and rightly so.

Hopefully that dumbass ends up behind bars too.

Indeed. I am wondering who will get the blame eventually. Fact remains that the guys were not arrested for two whole months.

You know it's bad when the police themselves are like "we wanted to do something but the DA said 'nah, just don't.'"

Two DAs in fact. The second one also believed "we thought he was involved in the recent string of burglaries" was a perfectly valid excuse, despite there not having been a string of burglaries.
