Context copypaste from tumblr:

[iguanodonwildman]:

“So I checked up on this case, and it turned out his sentence was reduced...

to 55 years

55 years for a unsuccessful burglary, theft, and the murder of a friend that was killed by police, when his only crime was breaking and entering when he was 15 years old.

This is the most up to date article I can find on it: https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-factcheck-lakeith-smith-65-years-idUSKBN243246. “

I just finished my comment above with links to contemporaneous reporting, figured you might be interested.

It's so transparent how much of a hard-on you're getting with your justice rage. "I'm just presenting the facts", yes, just like the unjust legal system we are all living under, you have confidently defined the "reasoning" behind the conviction. The debate and conversation around it, is for the citizens to discuss the absurd practices of the justice system, which you are just being a speakerbox for with no personal context. That's already been done by the justice system so why regurgitate and post multiple links to your enlightenment.

After the first comment I just scrolled by after reading, then you've plastered your masterlink of pleasure confirming the pleasure and how much you want others to view it. What's your personal opinion on a 15 year old being charged in this manner? Does this 15 year old have the full faculty of an adult? Do you believe a 15 year old is an adult or just for this case? How do you feel about the murder charge? Yeah, you can hide behind the law, but I would rather hear what your actual opinion is especially after seeing a post you've done like "The less racist a country is, the harder it is to detect enemy spies. #showerthoughts"

Whatever your opinion about this situation, you will be better served by presenting it alongside a more complete and accurate respresentation of facts than this screenshot of a tweet contains.
