    Its "yes sir" when they in front of a realman/judge. But they don't give those who look like them that respect.

    I don't know the circumstances of his charges. Was he defending himself?

    The bigger issue is our country's sick love affair with guns. Without access to these guns, these shootings would not happen. The 2nd amendment was not designed for this.

    Look at the judge's face shamful. This dog is coering him to incriminate himself and those with him. They did not do the crime. To avoid 15 to life, a plead is not any better than serving 15 to life in prison.

    I do not think he did it. No criminal record as of yet. This is a warning. They could take your rights and will seek anything to send you back to prison. These judges and prosecutors are so corrupt. This is what a plea deals will do for you, to enslave black people all over again. Shame on the system.

    Being respectful to judge isn't going to save your butthole. It's fixing to be worn out, when your mouth gets tired.

    It is these POS that makes life so difficult for the decent Black people in the world. My nephew is on full academic scholarship at an Ivy League school. Made the Dean's list his 1st 2 years and will be a junior next year. He is racially profiled every turn of the corner and it has a lot to do with POS Black men like this and racism. No criminal record, not even a speeding or parking ticket. I guess it is what it is.
