Killed outside cigar bar on Cadillac Square

[Mark Smiles]

Step 1. Suppose the people who committed this murder are arrested and convicted of the crime, and sent to prison.

Step 2. Their presence in prison will then be used by the “community activist types” to calculate an increase in the percentage of African-Americans in prison. [[What is the percentage who did not know they were breaking the rules in the first place?)

Step 3. The “community activist types” will use this percentage to “show” how those in prison are merely victims of a white racist society. [[Note how the murdered victim is no longer any concern of the “community activist types”.)

Why bother with Step 1 in the first place, as this will help keep down the percentages, and please the “community activist types”, and isn’t that what is really important in the first place?

Nice. Using this tragedy to excuse your racism, because we know inequality in the justice system is just something made up by "community activist types".
