Cedar's Take:
Black Lives don't matter in fact Black lives are dirt cheap. Just ask the parents of 17-year-old Ibn Marshall and 18-year-old Anu'bius Smith.
Black Lives Matter What a Sham! Do a Murder in Charloot outta jail in the same decade!
ReplyDeletePrison is expensive
DeleteWere the riots going to be? I need some OT to pad my pension coming up in four years! Hey JJ, how’s that new boat doing?
ReplyDeleteMust had really bad lawyers to even plea that. Your da couldn’t convict anything, but pleading murder down that far is absolute insanity. Can I take a life insurance policy out on these young men? Guaranteed to be victims within 36 months. Better than a pension pad.
ReplyDeleteGoodson has been doing stuff for yearsss
ReplyDeleteThese young men served about 20% of their lives behind bars. That’s more than enough. They have been rehabilitated and can now contribute to society. How much would it cost to continue to jail them? Now they get to lead lives, pay taxes and move past youthful mistakes.
ReplyDeleteBULLSHIT
DeleteI luv the part of paying taxes. That got me cryin’. Thanks for the laugh to start the weekend. How many this weekend y’all. Over/under 3?
DeleteUnder 3. Too hot to go out and shoot people but we will still drop 2
Delete38 open murder cases this year. They are out there.
