this sentence was pretty much the maximum and as a first time offender, was harsh given the circumstances. The girl was dumb for losing control and being drunk, but you’re expected to see that at any college. How it was handled by others was unnecessary. So I view all parties as wrong here.

You are not expected to see blatant, unprovoked and outright racism. It was handled appropriately and her consequences reflect her own actions. Let us not forget she kicked, and bit a police officer during her arrest. She called the RA a n*gger 200 times, how exactly was she also a wrong party in this situation?

Mike bears some watching, I think

No. It’s obvious to anyone with a brain that only the white lwomam spewing racist hate towards people is in the wrong.

This is sad all the way around. The student assaulted would rather not have had this in her college experience, the student doing this, hopefully regrets her bad choices and must face the consequences. Prison is not pleasant, nor is it intended to be. The shame and embarrassment that she must bear is a punishment that she will carry forever.
Do unto others. Stay away from intoxicants; many a life has been shattered beyond repair because of alcohol and drugs.

A year is surprising. I know she regrets ever doing that doing a year in jail for something you did two years ago. YIKES

Totally fair. Time passing doesn’t reduce the charges against her..
SH • Mar 17, 2025 at 12:32 am
So actually time passing doesn’t reduce the charges. She still has to pay for the consequences of her racist actions. I hope this helps.

Hopefully this half wit gets a beat down on a regular basis behind bars

I regret that you feel this way. That would only perpetuate the cycle of hate. Hopefully this young woman will receive the forgiveness she needs and will not let this define her life. I hope, like I have, that she finds the peace of the Risen Christ.

Agreed.
