Again?
Wow, they don’t mess around with sentencing white people. A black would have been let free because, “culture”...
Oh look! A statistically random white guy!
I’m glad he’s being punished. I just wish all the hoodrat thugs were held equally accountable for their myriad crimes of violence.
We finally hear what sounds like a real sentence for decades of what the media labelled the knockout game or polar bear hunting and then learn that of course the sentence wasn’t about that at all.
Of course everybody will joke about the guy being white, but the difference in the usual situation is that when it’s a white person who does this stuff it’s because they’re psychos, and other white people want them punished. On the other side, it’s just normal behavior and black people don’t want them punished.
Whenever I think of Fargo I think of “and I assume that’s your accomplice in the wood chipper”
He’s just making up for the lack of black on white crime in Fargo based on lack of black people
From the photo, I believe the perpetrator to be American Indian not white.
Completely missing the mark - the first 30 days are for the assault, the remainder of the time is clearly punishment for cultural appropriation.
More likely from the look of him, I think Cher put it best:
My father married a pure Cherokee
My mother’s people were ashamed of me
The Indians said that I was white by law
The white man always called me “Indian squaw”
Half-breed, that’s all I ever heard
I’m a half-breed, how I learned to hate the word
Half-breed, “She’s no good, “ they warned
Both sides were against me since the day I was born
We never settled, went from town to town
When you’re not welcome, you don’t hang around
The other children always laughed at me
“Give her a feather, she’s a Cherokee”
Half-breed, that’s all I ever heard
Half-breed, how I learned to hate the word
Half-breed, “She’s no good, “ they warned
Both sides were against me since the day I was born
Look!
White guys commit violent crime too!
So sophisticated.

Ah yes…the wood chipper scene. Great movie! Some very intense scenes and dark humor
“Yeah, dude, I was just, like, ‘what-EVER’!”
You’re right — he’s not white. In earlier mugshots he looks like a typical American Indian. He served nearly twenty years for a 1995 murder. “Then, Rockefeller was known as Matthew Runningshield (he legally changed his name while incarcerated in 2005). Court documents from an appeal of the sentence describe the violent crime, which took place when Rockefeller was just 16 years-old.”
She scans the news every morning to find the statistically rare white violent criminal and posts that story to level the visual playing field against the massive levels of black violent crime that will otherwise jam your news feed.
So sophisticated!
Nobody will ever catch on!
Royal Rockefeller. I’d never expect such behavior from a man with this name. He has shamed the Rockefellers to no end.
Maybe he’ll get a dose of his own medicine in the big house.
