Yeah, i remember a kid from my town that went to prison his senior year of HS for sleeping with a freshmen girl. He was white and came from a wealthy family/ arrested by white cops and tried and convicted by white lawyers and judges...is that amerikkkan?? Seriously though, I feel really bad for you. I've never had misjudgement or inequality placed against my sparkely white skin.

Why the hell (other than the fact that you started it) is this thread titled Justice in AmeriKKKa. Jesus, some of you people need to get over yourselves.

My senior year I played baseball with a white guy from a wealthy family who was involved in an almost identical case right before the MLB draft. Went to prison for a year, didn't get drafted, and had every major college he had a scholarship to back out. Pretty much ruined his life. Knew a couple white football players who had similar incidents that forced them out of going to college to play.
.........yep.......good ole' white, racist America at its finest.

Maybe instead of making this into a racial issue, you should reinforce the need to keep your f**king dick in your pants.......especially with a damn FIFTEEN year old girl.

But it so much easier to blame others for your inability to succeed in life

There is something to be said for giving dumb kids a second chance. I've seen a lot of people whose lives have been altered for stupid stuff. The problem is that for some police officers, maybe who didn't go to college, getting arrested is just a daily thing. For a kid hoping to go to law school and walking home from the bar drunk, its a bit more than a slip up. I know the standard should be the same for everyone, but some people in positions of power view getting arrested as part of growing up or something you laugh about later. To a degree it can be, but it can also mess up the future plans of a person who is otherwise an all around good kid.

This isn't to relieve people of their responsibility to respect the law. The main point young people need to take away is that refraining from things that often get you in trouble isn't enough. Don't even put yourself in a situation where its possible to get into trouble, be it with an overzealous cop or a lying teenage girl.

One more reason not to live in the South.

who's blaming someone on not succeeding? apparently, reading comprehension is not one of your strong points.

you realize the kid was 17 when this happened? how many of us have messed with girls TWO years our junior when we were in high school? lets not pretend this thing isn't common.

I'm pretty sure there are several black men in NYC who wouldn't agree that the north is devoid of problems like this...

Please, i'm talking about your rants in general. It's getting old.

if you're not smart enough to engage in the topic at hand, i suggest clicking the red x at the top right.

This isn't two kids playing footsie in the cafeteria. Drugs+ alcohol+ videotaped gangbanged 15 year old = JAIL

it's completely understandable if he was 25 or something like that. he was probably a junior, and she was a freshman.

yea, and? how often is sex going on between young people at the high school level?

What topic? How some innocent man is being thrown in jail just for being black?

All the time, but most parents don't press charges against their kids boyfriends/girlfriends. There was a reason why he was arrested. The girl he had sex with claimed she was raped.
