I just want to make sure we respect the jury’s decision _and_ castigate those cheering it. Given the instructions they received, they ruled correctly. However, it’s certainly nothing to celebrate. A young man with mental health problem is dead.

Dean makes a point about if it were Black man choking a white man. We all know perfidious racism exists in this county.

However, how would we feel if it were a white man choking a white man, a black man choking a black man or even a martial arts trained white woman choking a black man.

This issue is not simply black and white. We can look at statistical data and be very confident that racism exists, especially when some datapoints are clearly defined as indicating racism. However, some individual data points can be a little more nebulous.

I do not know if Daniel Penny is a Racist. However, I do know that those cheering the verdict are most likely racists.

We kind of know he's racist. He targeted an unarmed Black man and choked him to death over his words.
