    obviously the main factor was cops and paramedics being racist against Black people but Black Neurodivergent people have way higher murder rates.

    I don’t wish my initial comment to be interpreted wrong, people were rightly furious that a Black man was lynched.

    I disagree with your initial statement that the lynchers were brought to justice as 2 of them escaped conviction

      I’m specifically referring to the paramedics here. As I recall, they were both convicted. Are you talking about the cops, or the non-medical firefighters that were also present?

        both of them got probation which is just a sick joke. if it were a Black man killing cops or paramedics he probably would’ve gotten a life sentence, if he survived the encounter
