btw this happened in my hometown at my high school (well i was in 8th grade at the time) and im 26 now and this poor family STILL doesn’t have answers. his poor mama has been fighting every single day for justice to no prevail :(
with how scary the current political climate is, i just figured i should make my stances 100% clear. if you disagree with any of them you’re not welcome on my page
Jesse Mack Butler was 16 & 17 when he sexually assaulted and strangled two 16 year olds!
He faced 10 felony counts, including attempted rape, rape by instrumentation, forcible oral sodomy, sexual battery, and domestic assault and battery by strangulation. Investigators recovered video evidence from his phone, which showed one victim strangled to unconsciousness.
He was sentenced to out-patient counseling, community service, rehabilitation, and strict curfew supervision until he turns 19. He avoided serving any time behind bars, and the convictions could be erased from his record upon reaching 19!
Karmelo Anthony just received 35 years. A 19 year old Black kid is now facing a sentence that will take most of his adult life.
In the same state, the officers who killed Jordan Edwards, Atatiana Jefferson, and Botham Jean received less time combined than this one teenager will serve alone. That is the pattern.
When the defendant is a Black youth, the full weight of punishment drops. When the defendant wears a badge, the weight gets lighter.
You do not have to believe Karmelo is innocent to see that something is deeply off. One young man gets 35 years while those trusted with a badge keep most of their lives after taking Black life.
Remember his name and remember this number. Karmelo Anthony. Thirty five years. Let that sit with you.
Welcome to America 🤷🏽♀️
One was physically touched & defended hisself, the other one wasn’t touched or threatened at all, but still chased a child for over 130 yards & shot him in his back. It’s hard living in a world where your skin color is a weapon.
America has shown rather you run away (Cyrus Belton) or fight back (Karmelo Anthony), if you’re Black then you’re guilty either way
The courts have sacrificed all legitimacy in order to protect white supremacy’s rule of “self defense” shifting to always go against Black peoples
🚨 ALMOST 4 YEARS AGO, KARMELO ANTHONY SAVED A CHILD FROM DROWNING.
Don’t let the media trick you into thinking he’s a villain.
There’s more to the story and i can’t believe those students lied on the stand. Those Frisco students should be ashamed of themselves !
This Karmelo Anthony verdict being found guilty right after a Chinese man was found innocent after chasing a black kid down and killing him should tell you everything you need to know about what our priorities should be in these United States
🚩No cameras allowed during the trial.
🚩No Blacks allowed on the jury.
🚩No impartial judge.
🚩And a suspect defense lawyer.
The outcome was never truly in doubt. This wasn't a trial. It was a good old fashioned Texas lynching.
A clear case of self-defense will get you a guilty verdict, but Rick Chow was found not guilty after clearly murdering a child. This “justice” system is so fucking racist and disgusting.
