Then Chappelle placed Smart's case in opposition to that of Lionel Tate of Florida, who was convicted of murder in the death of a 6-year-old neighbor. Smart, at 15, was considered a child. But at 14, two years after the crime, Tate was sentenced as an adult to life in prison without parole. (A previously rejected plea bargain was later accepted, and he is now free.)

I'm thinking Chappelles not too bright.

"When is a 15-year-old a kid and a 12-year-old an adult?" he asked, indicating it might be because one was white and one was not.

Yea, Dave, there's not whole lot of difference between "being kidnapped" and "murdering someone".

I was thinking the same thing. I opened this thread after 39 replies and was curious if anyone was going to catch that. I also kept waiting to see the Cosby reference but never did.

However, I must say that Chappelle is very funny. If you want to laugh you're ass off, go rent half-baked, a modern day Cheech and Chong type movie. If you are like me and grew up in the late seventies or early eighties, you will relate.

Also, the little girl who was murdered by the "kid" deserves justice. Was she white or black? Why do blacks think it's so cool to stick up for black criminals, but not their black victims?
