Savage.
That'd be, like, a week-long ban on MB.

So draining the swamp is apparently giving lawmakers immunity from prosecution and giving federal employees Chinese sweatshop wages. Seems legit.

Luckily they backed up on the former. Let's hope we get a sequel on that.

KING: How white privilege allows white men to assault black men - NY Daily News

Quote:
On October 22, 2015 a young mentally disabled high school student was sexually assaulted by his classmates on school property. The 18-year-old victim, who was adopted as a toddler, was one of the lone African-American students in the nearly all white Dietrich High School in Idaho. John Howard, 18, Tanner Ward, 17, and one other unidentified member of the football team lured the victim into a school locker room, promising him hugs, stripped him, forcefully inserted a clothes hanger into his rectum, then kicked it deeper into his rectum — causing internal injuries.

When this case was initially reported, and it was announced that John Howard was being charged with felony rape, the possible penalties were as severe as life in prison. It seemed like some semblance of justice was imminent. The school superintendent interviewed 30 witnesses and confirmed that the teen was sexually assaulted. Prosecutors agreed with their investigation — which also determined that the victim was also called “Kool-Aid,” “chicken eater,” “watermelon,” and even “n----r” by students at the school.

In spite of all of this evidence, this week John Howard was given the break of his life. Instead of getting life in prison for what he did, he won’t be going to jail for 10 years or five years or a year or six months or even a day. Instead, he’s getting two years of probation and 300 hours of community service. With good behavior, the judge said his record could be expunged. He’ll also be allowed to do his community service in his new home in Texas where his family peacefully relocated.

Tanner Ward, who was said to initially insert the hanger into the victim’s rectum, was initially charged as an adult, but conveniently had his case sent to juvenile court instead.
I can sadly believe this though especially because the crime happened in Texas.

This happens and it's barely reported much and hardly any outrage but the four idiot black kids torture that white kid and commit a hate crime and justice is swift as ****. Justice SHOULD be swift but of course it's not when the shoe is on the other foot. The slap on the wrist this dude got is insane.

I remember hearing about that in 2015 and am presently seeing a lot of outrage around the verdict so...ja entirely not under reported. If you had picked a more obscure case that would've made more sense.

I guess it is just in my circles. I haven't seen/heard much about it. I was having a conversation with a friend last night and he didn't hear a single thing about it but damn skippy he knew about the Chicago incident.

Some people overstate it but it is most definitely a thing in America.
