🚨Breaking.
Carmelo Anthony was just sentenced to 35 years.
Now before everybody starts calling each other racist and before social media turns this into another black-versus-white circus, I have a question.
What if it was your son?
Not somebody else’s son.
Your son.
Your grandson.
Your nephew.
Would you still be standing outside with signs?
Would you still be posting hashtags?
Would you still be raising money for the person convicted of stabbing him?
Because that’s the part I cannot understand.
A family buried their child.
A jury heard the evidence.
A judge handed down 35 years.
And somehow half the country is talking about race instead of the victim.
So … I have questions.
I want to know how a person reportedly connected to hundreds of thousands of dollars in donations ends up with a public defender.
I want to know how the jury was selected.
I want to know why people seem more upset about the sentence than they are about the young man who never got to go home.
Most of all, I want to know why every tragedy in America gets immediately sorted into racial teams.
Because if justice only matters when the person looks like us, then it was never justice we were after in the first place.
Let’s talk about it.

@jeremyct If all you do is complain and worry about the economy, fuck yeah it’ll be hard, but that’s life. It’s not supposed to be easy and it never was.
@jeremyct Well most people form our parents generation don’t retire at 59, so that’s already unusual, but good for him. I also will say most parents you talk to rather than complaining will tell you how they worked multiple Jobs and much longer than 40 hour shifts. Life ain’t that hard.
@lmkifiwin I mean hafthor has been enhanced so him not breaking a record doesn’t prove anything. All this proves is that if we allow steroids which the athletes are already taking it can be done monitored and more safely.

When Chad Palumbo was in high school, he was diagnosed with cancer. He continued to go to the gym while undergoing chemotherapy, and now he's one of @TigerLacrosse's stars.
