Stand your ground. Another right/law that doesn't apply to black people

Crystul Kizer's story sounds a bit suspicious...but at the same time, she deserves some compassion. I don't know that a 17 year old without a good upbringing would know what the hell he/she is doing. This sentence just seems excessive.

And that’s it right there. It’s not that she shouldn’t face consequences, it’s that sentencing can vary wildly for similar scenarios

I'm sorry but there is a fairly serious difference there which is that from my reading of the case she tracked down and killed the person five days after he was released.

While what happened to her is a heinous crime and the guy who trafficked her should not have been treated nearly so leniently you can't have a situation where victims of crimes are able to kill the perpetrators without consequence.

Rittenhouse getting away with what amounts to voluntary manslaughter at a minimum IMO was also a terrible injustice. Fuck that guy. I don't think the answer is to let other people get away with the premeditated killing of people though.

A good way to prevent truly violated people from taking the law into their own hands in cases where the law has failed to deliver is to institute change that produces less failure, in my opinion. For some people rectification of injustice is more important than life. Two opposing negative forces at play here, seem to me, indifference to justice and a need for revenge.
