Liberals are correct: There is a two-tier justice system.
The tiers are just reversed from what they tell us.
I know that lawyers are gonna lawyer, but the argument Isaiah Williams' defense attorney is making is that bail should be lowered because the real problem is that America is super racist and wants to lock up poor black boys who didn't do nuffin'.
Here's the video of the incident in full (graphic violence warning):
(Please take a second to appreciate the lack of aim or concern for bystanders.)
More from KOMO News in Seattle:
Williams faces two counts of murder in the first degree, and one count of unlawful possession of a firearm for the March 29 shooting that killed two teens and injured three others. Williams was also shot during the exchange of gunfire.
His grandma says he's just a misunderstood young boy!
'Isaiah is the most caring, loving, and talented young man I know,' William's grandmother wrote in a letter to the court. 'He has always been a selfless individual - putting others before himself, helping his family, and giving back to the community whenever he can. He has played football since the age of five, and he has always been a leader both on and off the field.'
He also potentially shot up a whole street full of people, grandma. Oh, and he was charged with illegally possessing a gun one year ago.
Now this is important: I don't know if the judge reduced bail because the kid is black (the judge is also black and you can watch the exchange presented by the news here), or if it was because bail seemed excessive given the suspect's minor status, or if the judge had some other reason. KOMO News certainly presented it as the former, displaying the argument about the kid's skin color and athlete status before showing the judge's decision.
Regardless, this is a great chance to remind y'all that justice is rather simple. You don't have to do commie math to see how oppressed someone is on a scale of one to infinity. You don't have to consider his skin color or bank account. You don't have to put the suspect through a grid of any intersecting victimhood hierarchies whatsoever.
The equation is simple:
Gather the facts of the crime that was committed.
Try the suspect before a jury of his peers.
If convicted, render the penalties prescribed by the law.
Anything else is immoral.
