see that would be closer to fair. I think it's the disparity that is upsetting people. Nobody is saying that fighting is ok, but when a young teen is facing a hundred years in jail because his *running shoes* are being counted as deadly weapons, that raises an eyebrow. I just listened to Democracy Now. Discount it heavily for the excesses of Amy Goodman, and that *still* doesn't explain a town librarian who claims not to know what a noose in a tree means. Come *on*. I'm Canadian and I know.
Or how about the white kid who pulled a shotgun on some black kids and was not charged after they disarmed him and called the police? The black kids were charged with robbing him of the gun. There is *no* way you can construe that as equal justice.
