About 500 students will graduate Saturday from Atlanta’s prestigious Morehouse College. One person who won’t be there is Rashad Johnson, shot three times by a fellow student. But the shooter will receive his diploma — part of a plea deal that spared him up to 20 years in prison.
I doubt there’d have been this much controversy if the shooter was white. If the shooter was white and the victim was black, chances are they VICTIM would have been blamed for the incident, and HE would have been sent to prison for life (with a bullet in his leg), while the shooter would have been the one finishing college and going on to get a good job and bang hot chicks.

This legal system is jacked.
