What you say is true and what others have said contains a lot of truth, but, the conclusions don't make sense. We don't murder a person for crimes they committed in the past and have been adjudicated and paid for. If that were the case lets close up the prisons and just kill all the prisoners.
If an ex-con doesn't have a right to life that is a very sad situation.
In this particular instance the victim was the ex-con. He was not accused of a crime he was only being hassled because he was an ex-con, in other words he was murdered for being an ex-con.
There is no excuse for the riots but likewise there is NO EXCUSE for this murder. It may likely eventually be called manslaughter but it was murder pure and simple. The cops will say they didn't mean to kill him they just wanted to rough him up, but it killed him. This is a sickness in our society that cops think they are better than the crooks. In this case the crook was a petty drug user and perhaps even dealer but the cops were murderers.
So, who is the thug here?
Facts not in evidence.
