@Vince524@NeetzscheLLC@ChristianHeiens You are correct thats my mistake, it was being reported as "first degree" but they do not have that. The sentencing does make sense, 35 year max with parole after 17 is logical for the nature of the crime.
@RahimFatim@DigitalMafia30@shoe0nhead@_ReeMiddleChild No, but retaliation isnt self defense. At the very least its manslaughter, not to mention that because Adamson was selling drugs at the time he committed Felony Murder, where a death wouldnt have happened had you not been commiting a felony.
@Schniebelung@DigitalMafia30@shoe0nhead@_ReeMiddleChild My point is that in both cases the reaction was not proportional for self defense, however the black kid gets first degree murder which is 15 to life, and the white drug dealer got aggravated assault with time served. Both in texas. That cant be overlooked, ya know?
@Schniebelung@DigitalMafia30@shoe0nhead@_ReeMiddleChild Sure I agree self defense has to be proportional, Anthony fucked up and it is what it is, but first degree murder is crazy. And Adamson claimed dude tried to rob him, video of it just shows Pleasant getting out of the car and running before being gunned down from behind.
@deaflibertarian No but you can shoot someone three times in the back and walk on time served like Alec Adamson.
Sure he was white and the dude he shot was black but im sure race has nothing to do with it.
@Vince524@NeetzscheLLC@ChristianHeiens Well his lawyers probably figured the DA over stretched their attempt since this was clearly not first degree murder, there will definitely be a retrial
@georgefinkle78@NeetzscheLLC@ChristianHeiens It was raining and they were all under different tents, the whole thing is he had every right to be here and other kids had no right to tell him to leave, regardless of how poorly he handled that, all of that part of the story is irrelevant
@NeetzscheLLC@ChristianHeiens I mean lots of things, metcalf and his friends could have minded their business, Anthony could have walked away, but they all decided to have some dick measuring congest and now entire families are destroyed.
@smirnovahalyna1@NeetzscheLLC@ChristianHeiens Yeah but those kids also could have left him alone. Everyone here acted like a childish fool, and now a kids dead and another kids life is ruined because they were both too stupid and full of themselves to see the forest from the trees. Its a tragedy all around.
@pencil_gang@KevinLMiami@TiffanyFong and Pleasant ran, he then shot Pleasant 3 times in the back. He was charged with first degree murder and a jury instead rejected that dor aggravated assault, he got four years and was released with time served. Thats a pretty huge fucking disparity right out in the open.
@pencil_gang@KevinLMiami@TiffanyFong Well not that hes innocent but more charging and covicting kid of first degree murder for this is crazy. I mean in Texas, Alex Adamson, white drug dealer, met with a black customer David Pleasant to sell drugs, according to him Pleasant tried to rob him so he pulled a gun
