In-Justice: 2 Life Sentences for Teenager!!!

Deryl Dedmon pleaded guilty to murder and a hate-crime charge before a judge in Jackson on Wednesday afternoon, admitting to the June killing of James Craig Anderson. Hinds County Circuit Judge Jeff Weill sentenced him to two concurrent life terms, saying, "This craven act isn't who we are." 

Anderson died after he was beaten and run over by a truck driven by Dedmon, according to police. Dedmon was part of a group of seven white youths from largely white Rankin County who decided to "go fuck with some niggers," after a night of partying and drinking, law enforcement officials have said, quoting some of the suspects in the case.

Smith has said the evidence indicated the suspects, who ranged in age from 17 to 19, "went out with the intention to harm and, in this case, kill a black man." According to investigators, they drove 16 miles in two vehicles from Rankin County to Jackson, where after exiting the highway, they found Anderson alone in a parking lot about 4 a.m. on June 26.

The white men allegedly beat Anderson repeatedly, yelling racial epithets. After the beating, Dedmon drove his Ford F-250 truck over him, leaving him to die, according to what some of the teens cooperating with police have told authorities.

Anderson's death drew national attention after CNN first reported it and aired exclusive surveillance video of the killing, captured by a parking lot security camera in a Jackson suburb.

 I posted this story months ago- Finally, the long arm of justice has taken this racist-hate filled kid off the streets.  What was shocking is that there was several teens in the truck and car that did absolutely nothing! This is just a sad story.  I am not looking for these stories! They are just coming up. I have been asking my self lately, Is the country going backwards in race relations?  TBV's overall objective is to continue the discussion of politics in our everyday lives. Politics is here as well,  the local Police officials had know of this teen's racist behavior and overlooked it or choose not to do anything about it. Local government=supported by tax dollars! The story about Chris Rock was due to a Tea Party member asking Chris Rock is he was racist against them and basically saying that the Tea Party members are not racist! The facts do not support his position. The Trayvon Martin situation, local police= tax payer supported, choosing not to do the right thing, in this case conduct a fair investigation.  


Politics plays a part in our every day lives in almost everything you can find politics to some degree.
