      If it’s any consolation, he has no education, no job prospects, and is getting pushed out of the conservative talk show circuit. He will be destitute soon (if he isn’t already).

        I watched all the videos, his self defense claim was credible enough from a legal standpoint. The prosecution tried to make an example of him instead of charging manslaughter or even 3rd degree murder, while the media narrative painted the event like a KKK lynching. This is why people still think the men shot were black, were unarmed, and were not attacking him.

        He instantly became the focus for the entire left/right divide, and that kind of “fame” would fuck anyone up. He was kicked out of school, fired from jobs, and only the right wing grifters would have anything to do with him. At 18 half the country wanted him dead, it’s no wonder he ended up so fucked up.

      Hate to break it to you, but everyone involved in that case was white. They also over charged trying to make an example of him due to the media circus.
