ReplyDeleteIt's of course racist because it accurately only identified black shooters...there of corse being NO shooters from other demographics.
ReplyDeleteThey want it gone because same as always "po little din-du-nuffins" are going to jail then prison for the crime they committed not for "being colored/black". I did a long stretch in a state prison now coming to 45 years ago and believe me the blacks were BY FAR the majority of the population and every single one of them belonged there.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait until Dec 1 2024 when the new States Atty is sworn in.
