    The bottom line is regardless of their skin color, innocent people lost their lives in a senseless act of violence.

    You need to bag the flippant attitude.

    You are correct, a 24 year old man hanging out with a 19 year old who happens to kill him is not equal to a young mother car jacked and murdered in front of her daughter by a complete stranger in my eyes. Now if further facts come out this could change but from what we know so far the situations are not equal.

    This country desperately needs criminal justice reform. Too many people are incarcerated, and way too many people end up mired in the justice system for petty or forgivable offenses.

    The problem is the Democrats are dumb and they never learn. Their answer to police brutality..."Defund the Police!" Sure, there are plenty of better ideas out there, but because the Democratic Party is ruled by the activist class and twitter, any decent ideas are drowned out by the low IQ, permanently online, activist class that shrink down any ideas to a slogan.

    Then incarceration. Lighter sentencing and releasing inmates is part of a reform idea, but they are distant steps. But it's hard to reach those steps so the Democrats become like that meme of the shoeless teenager in the stairwell stepping from the landing to four steps up. So they get "reform" state attorneys and judges to do the easy thing of offering and accepting reduced charges and lighter sentences, thus resulting in a non-rehabilitated, still violent criminals back on the streets to continue their mayhem. And the result? Republicans "pounce" and "seize", and the cowardly Democrats retreat. Look at police budgets. Watch what goes on in the courts in Memphis over the next year.

    Child sex abuse/ child abuse and endangerment
    Kidnapping

    I’m good with the death penalty. No need to rehabilitate. No 45k year for prison.
    Done
    And we can stop doing prison time for the minor petty crap.
    There. Prison over crowding is solved. Worse people in society get the death penalty. We all move on.
    I know many will hate this and that’s all fine.

    I agree with you on the death penalty but on prison time I say if you do the crime do the time. .......Oh and pkaibo1 that goes for white prisoners as well as blacks before you make anymore of your stupid accusations.

    Republican members of Congress said Tuesday they want to dismantle the FBI or “clean house” at the Department of Justice after agents raided the Florida estate of former President Donald Trump.

    Paul Gosar, Arizona Republican, also invoked the Nazi era, tweeting: “I will support a complete dismantling and elimination of the democrat brown shirts known as the FBI.

    DEFUND THE FBI!” Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, Georgia Republican, posted.

    That is sad and brings back a bad memory.

    In 1973 my wife avoided being carjacked in broad daylight by having a gun in her purse that she pulled out and showed the carjacker as he started to punch out the lock in her car door using a screwdriver. But guns are bad to some people who would love to disarm everyone.

    Violent criminals are being released too soon in too many instances. Fortunately some of us are armed and stand a chance at survival.

    I'm surprised nobody else has challenged this hatred. Maybe they know it's fruitless.

    To say one victim of an unprovoked murder is somehow lesser than another is beyond my experience. I can't fathom it.

    Tunstall's daughter and unborn child will likely miss their father just as much as Parker's children. It's a tragedy and to openly weigh the value of victims' lives does them a severe disservice.

    Why do you feel compelled to bring up race, limited to only blacks and whites, as a caveat to a general statement of the application of law? Hmmm...

    Well that is why I don't hang out with thugs. If I should die getting murdered by a carjacker that is a tragedy. If I am killed while hanging out BBQing with a friend who just happens to be a thug well that too is tragic but I brought it upon myself. I can't believe you aren't smart enough to figure out the difference.

    "He deserved to die" is the new "she was asking for it".

    It seems when I do not specify that race does not matter to me you always bring up race. I just wanted to be clear ahead of time.

    Stop making shit up. "He deserved to die" is not the same as he brought it upon himself.

    But the information does provide some insight into the thinking of the poster.

    Thanks for letting me know that when it comes to the equal application of the law, you're not a racist.

    Note taken.

    That's precisely why. His schtick is very predictable at this point.

    I can say with absolute confidence that this crime would not have happened if he was still in prison serving a rightful sentence.
