Karmelo Anthony, Texas teen who snagged $600K in donations after he ‘stabbed football star to death,’ faces trial

[AZrailwhale]

This confrontation may or may not have been about race.

But how Texas law is applied is certainly about race.
An all white jury will decide whether Anthony felt threatened.

A white jury might look at a 135 lb white being confronted by two 200 lb blacks as a threat requiring self defense.

They might not think a 135 lb black being confronted by two 200 lb whites is a similar threat

It's not an "all white jury". The jury is multi racial and composed of both sexes.

That rule only applies to whites, innocent black folks are sent to prison every fking day.

Bullcrap.

A defendant needs to commit literally hundreds of crimes and be convicted of tens of crimes before being sent to prison.

 

[AZrailwhale]

Zero Blacks

So? Where does it say anywhere that any particular race needs to be on a jury?

 

[Chuz Life]

Bullcrap.

Maybe, the "I ain't kill nobody" isn't a good answer when the cop is only investigating a shoplifting incident.

I'm just saying.

Not if I’m on the jury — at least as far as that trial is concerned. I will not let an innocent person be convicted, not even a communist. And that’s saying a lot.

It doesn’t

But it does reflect on the impartiality of the jury
We saw this during JIm Crow
Legal but not just

Bullcrap. Putting blacks on a jury judging a black defendant almost guarantees a hung jury. Look at the demonstrators outside the courthouse for examples. They are saying even if he is guilty, they wouldn't convict. One of the black jurors who was released said that exact thing under oath during voir dire.

 

[Chuz Life]

There is nothing new or groundbreaking about this trial.

It has never been legal or justified for any one person to bait, lure, or entrap another person into a confrontational situation and then kill the baited person under the guise of "self-defense."

 

[yidnar]

That is by definition an assault

so you have no problem with cops shooting someone dead because they are struggling and resisting arrest eh .. a simple push from a leftist protester is grounds for cops to kill them eh ?

 

[westwall]

White ass kisser black folks are the only folks who have been murdered in the history of this country and their killers are not brought to the Bar of Justice.

Blacks have murdered more white people in the last hundred years than

Zero Blacks

So what

Sure sounds like it. Funny how their positions change isn't it.

You silly fool. Blacks have murdered more white people in the last 50 years, than whites have murdered blacks in the last 200 years.

And it isn't close.

The possible black jurors stated they'd have a hard time sending a brother to prison.

So don't put blacks on the jury because they won't give you the verdict you want?

This is what you are arguing.

And a good chunk of it went to blacks, there was even a program in the South to give land seized from pro-Confederate Indians and slave owners to freed slaves that whites weren’t allowed to apply for. For whatever reason, freed slaves stayed in the South instead of immigrating to Canada (which had a policy of welcoming ex-slaves (that where the “Underground Railroad” terminated)), the North or Western states. It took the advent of defense jobs in the North and Western states during WW 2 to initiate mass migration of Southern Blacks.

What happened to it? Oh, I know, it was taken through eminent domain or just straight up thievery.

Not ONE black person on the jury.
