Killers of white victims and those who kill in mostly white rural areas are more likely to get the death penalty, a California capital punishment study says. The study linking death sentences with race found capital punishment in California is least likely to be meted out to defendants who kill Latinos and for those who kill in racially and ethnically diverse Los Angeles County, despite that county`s high number of homicides, the Sacramento Bee said Thursday.
'The whiter the county, the higher its death sentencing rate,' the report said.
Whites comprised 27.6 percent of the state`s murder victims in the period studied. Yet, those convicted of killing white victims were four times more likely to be sentenced to death than those who killed Latinos, and three times more likely to receive the death sentence than those convicted of killing African-Americans.
The study is contained in a draft of an article scheduled for publication in the Santa Clara Law Review.
"Just another anti-white rant. Since most killings are black on black, turn all the killers loose , They don't come back to white area's to kill white people they go home and kill their own. Turn them loose."
Exactly.. I said the same thing about the Rodney King situation. All the blacks screemed for his release and he returns to his old neighborHOOD to wreak havoc on his own kind...
Notice the "kill in white areas" ....
Reason is that whites are more likely to follow the law much more closely and that includes the penalties required for some crimes!
So - yeah - I guess that if you want to murder someone - don't do it in a white area.
White people are simply less tolerant of crime in general. And it doesn't matter the race of the perp, either. That's a real shame. Kinda like white people don't riot and loot at the drop of a hat. White people shoot looters, not join them in the looting.
Now, I know how this sounds, but it's not just bigotry, it's based on empirical observation, the "scientific method", after all.
I wonder what it all means? Sigh...
Guess we have to up the women too. We don't want sexism.
That was basically Sister Souljah's solution back in 1992, but she wanted the government to outsource the executions.
Absolutely!
If Jose from Mexico assaults Pedro from Cuba, that could be listed as a white on Hispanic hate crime.
On the other hand, if Pedro from Cuba assaults Jose from Mexico, it could be listed as a white on Hispanic hate crime.
The Department of Justice hate crime form doesn't have a category for Hispanics in the perpetrator column; They're classified as white. Of course, there is a category for Hispanics in the victims column.
I am going to guess that some of the Latinos and blacks killed were active in the drug trade.....or gang affiliated....
just a guess.....
not much sympathy for that.....
