Here's two examples of how the justice system does not work. Both started off with minor crimes and have dozens of arrests for misc crimes. They now have graduated to murderers!

I'm so glad these losers were caught. Hopefully they will not escape justice this time.

I'm sorry but these despicable individuals took a life without so much as an ounce of respect. Remove the color aspect of this and think of the poor man who was the recipient of this horrendous act. They ultimately made the decision to go out and rob this poor man and steal his life from his family and friends. The blame should lie on the individuals who choose this path in life not anyone else. I'm quite sickened by all the mugshots that are shown daily of the young men who could've taken a different path in life and the innocent victims who have suffered as a result.

The problem is that we live in a very racist society. Racism is the cause of this. What we need to do is throw tens (if not hundreds) of millions of dollars at the situation. We need for whites to understand that they are the problem. Whites need to apologize for their material possessions. They need to be ashamed of their whiteness. And they need to give everything they own away.

Then, and only then, will the problems of society disappear...
I don't think the wife or the family of the person murdered will release any apologies to the Black community, but then again, I'm just betting they don't.

That's OK, Obama will fix everything if he is re-elected.

This is the party they murdered. He was brutally killed while walking home from a light rail station.

You forgot to call these guys "gentlemen" which is the description used by the County Manager for gun slinging violent criminals.

Hmmm. You may be right. In which case... .

Then again, maybe you have not been exposed to English humor either. I must study this more. Next year I shall have ample time and will be available for beer drinking from mid-April 2013 onwards and for lessons .
