Same state. Different justice.
2023: Alec Adamson (Prosper, TX) shoots & kills a Black student, leads police on car chase + foot pursuit.
Sentence: 4 years. Served: 2.
2025: Karmelo (Frisco, TX) gets jumped by white students, defends himself with a knife.
Sentence: 35 years.
Tell me this isn’t two-tiered justice.
The 10 Republican Louisiana state senators who voted against SB 236 in 2018 (the bill separating bestiality into its own crime from the "crimes against nature" statute that also covered sodomy) were: John Alario, Brett Allain, Dan Claitor, Jack Donahue, Jim Fannin, Ryan Gatti, Gerald Long, Beth Mizell, Jonathan Perry, and Neil Riser.
They cited concerns the change could undermine the state's anti-sodomy law (ruled unconstitutional but still on the books). The bill ultimately passed and was signed into law.
@Nithya_Shrii People get angrier at individual crimes than systemic harm because one is visible and the other gets buried under paperwork, lobbying, and PR campaigns
