Homicidal White Supremacist Case Begs A Question

After reading the story of a then 14-year old Californian white supremacist that shot a middle school classmate at school because of alleged “unwanted sexual advances” (the shot teen was gay), I want to ask the lawyers and society at large something.  Just a little more detail on the story, then the question.

The shooter pleaded guilty to 2nd-degree murder after a jury was unable to decide a verdict in the case earlier in the year.  “Brandon McInerney, in a fit of homophobic rage, killed classmate Larry King because he was offended by King’s dress and how the victim interacted with him. “

“King, 15, was openly gay, and McInerney’s attorneys argued he made sexual advances against their client.”

And now the question: does anybody seriously think a heterosexual woman would be offered a plea deal due to a hung jury if she killed a man because he made unwanted sexual advances against her?

Corrupt Democrat Found Guilty

And I’m pleased he was found to be so.  Corruption doesn’t care what political party a person belongs to.  This time, it was a corrupt Democrat who got caught.  There were certainly plenty of Republicans who were similarly caught in the past few years.  But the story of William Jefferson is fairly bizarre.

Rep. Jefferson took more than $400,000 in bribes and was seeking millions of dollars more in order to broker business deals in Africa.  The bizarre part?  FBI agents found $90,000 in his Washington home’s freezer.  That’s one way of keeping your cash cold.

Interestingly, the judge in the case allowed Jefferson to remain free on bond, despite possible connections to Africa which could entice him to flee the country.  That would be a big slap in the face of American Justice.
