Many of you really have little clue the origins of many names you despise just because who you THINK came up with them.
Get a passport. Read a book. Maybe just Google.
I agree, we should respect other cultural names.
Side note, the LA county sheriff won't release the names of the 4 people arrested for participated in the murder of one of their deputies out house hunting.
You, me and the cat in the tree all know why.
That being said, parts of the country and the media seem to think some names should have stealth like qualities, along with pigment....unless they're a white person in which the immediate claim is racial motivation without any actual proof.
Tired of acceptable racism. I didn't like it 20-30 years ago when it was directed at blacks...I was taught growing up it was wrong to do. Apparently now it's back in vogue (for ratings.)
I think most rational people agree that the punishment should fit the crime. Have people been sentenced disproportionately to their crimes? I'm sure there have been over the years. Then you hear terms like school to prison pipeline, sentencing reform and privilege.
Given the severity of the crime committed, it seems like a slap on the wrist sentence. It doesn't say if any of the assault victims gave any sentence input.
So is this the new norm? Overly lenient sentences for violent crimes due to some sort of historic inbalance? This wasn't an accident or some spur of the moment bad decision. In the video you can see the perp escalate the encounter. How does this make communities safer when violent criminals get sentences way below what is deserved?
When a wealthy, influential person can buy justice, the system is broken.
I think one solution is to yank the profiteering rug out from under legal profession and end private practice. Make lawyers/attorneys state employees and pay them what they are actually worth.
Then everyone will have equally ****** legal representation.
Insane, though there’s still more detail not included. She should be made to pay restitution to the victim who was/is still hospitalized though. The longer she is incarcerated, the less likely that will happen.

Is the LA investigation at the point where names should be released?
At this point, 5 people were detained on Tuesday and 4 arrested on Wednesday. 3 of those detained are gang members. Based on that, I would guess that they are still heavily investigating the incident.
Let law enforcement do their job before running to racism.

Thought you were sure the perps were Black and that’s why the faces and names weren’t released…

Sentencing disparity has been a thing for a loooong time, the only time it comes up here though is if a Black or Brown person gets a sentence deemed “light”, all the other light sentences for White offenders out there get *crickets*.

Perhaps I’m just jaded by past experiences with the current media treatment of race.
As I said, they just weren’t far enough in the investigation.
The perps are Hispanic and White and many of the same news networks that carried the story haven’t posted their pictures.
I didn’t mention faces, names weren’t released.
Are you saying that the media doesn’t hide or promote stories with an eye on race?
You need some memory joggers?
