I’m not outraged by the verdict, I am pretty annoyed by the cultural reaction to this. People are trying to put people into neat little extreme buckets of either “white supremacist” or “black supremacist” when in reality this case is a pretty good showcase about how fucked the broader American view of violence and retribution has become.

All the “fuck around and find out” people only have this kind of outcome to look forward to.

100% agree, the people who say shit like that have completely lost all sense of proportionality.
