The actual problem as I see it is that this sentence seems relatively light in the US for a string of car break-ins and probably has more to do with favoritism than with serious concern for rehabilitation. A young, unconnected black man in the same position would be deserving of years in prison for the same crime to the average white, racist Republican. TL;DR: Utter hypocrisy. permalink fedilink source parent
