If you fatally stab your mother, should you even be out of jail? Are the lives of black mothers so

devalued that you can murder them and just walk free?

This is about the man who stomped the Asian woman and was videoed. He supposedly was out of jail on lifetime probation for fatally stabbing his mother.

1. Some context would be helpful.

Many people here post and assume that everyone will immediately know what they're talking about.

3. I agree 100%

2. wonder what the sib who witnessed the stabbing has to say about it...

4. Can you tell us what you're talking about??

5. The guy that attacked that Asian woman was out on parole for killing his mom. I assume

that's what they're talking about.

8. YES!

10. Could have included that. n/t

6. He didn't walk free. He spend 17 years in prison.

And was out on "lifetime" parole.

7. That was EXACTLY my thought

"lifetime parole" should be for non-violent offenders

And he wasn't only convicted for killing his mother, but for stabbing his sister.

9. Lock his ass back up. For good. nt

11. A life sentence with no chance of parole is considered very tough in many countries

We don't know the circumstances of when he killed his mother. If it was because of their mother-son relationship, then it wouldn't mean he's an automatic danger to others, since he has no other mother left to kill. So parole after many years could be an option, depending on his behaviour in prison.

12. I'm betting a 19-year-old who killed his mom didn't get the best of rehab in prison, and then

to be released on parole right before a global pandemic, probably doesn't have the best support system. Could be wrong, though!

More to your point, studies have found that the race/gender of the victim has a lot more to do with sentences than the race/gender of the perpetrator.
