Robber charged with Murder

Rare robbery case brings cries of racism - Yahoo! News

I don't have a problem with the DA throwing the book at this dude for Robbery, Burglary and assault charges but to charge that dude with two murders and let this weed smoking, perscription drug junky basically get away with murder don't sit well with me. These dudes were idiots for even trying to run up in somebody crib especially in a 91% white town. Even if no one got killed you know damn well the DA would have somehow found a way to give them the chair just for the robbery and assualt alone. You see how they went and found a old crusty law that no one ever uses to charge that man with the murders. All that aside how exactly do they justify not charging that man with something, damn. The man was high, last I checked people got arrested for drug use. If they found a law to charge that dumb criminal with murder I know good and well they can find one to charge that homeowner with something.

I will comment on three things that are evident:

1. Yes, racism played a role in the prosecutions decision to charge the black man with murder. Period. I don't feel that the black guy should be charged with murder, but yes he should be charged. I have no sympathy for the robbers at all. I only sympathize with the fact that good judgement wasn't used and applied to the law as it should have been. The homeowner acted within his rights - the prosecution did not.

2. The black guys should not have broken into the man's home, nor beaten his stepson. Homeowners have every right to protect themselves, their family, and their property.

3. If they wouldn't have broken into the home "at all" then "ALL" of this could have been avoided.
