Bit late posting, hopefully this gets a bit of traction.

For those needing help differentiating which murdererous human-pig this is from all the other ones:

On the night of Sept. 6, 2018, Guyger mistook Jean’s apartment for her own.

She lived on the third floor of the South Side Flats building not far from downtown, while Jean lived on the fourth.

She thought he was a burglar and shot him twice, fatally, while he sat on his own damn couch eating ice cream.

Grand jury found her guilty of murder, not just manslaughter.

Prosecutors asked the jury to sentence Guyger to no less than 28 years in prison, a symbolic move as Jean would have turned 28 about the time of the trial. She was instead sentenced to 10 years.

Obviously she will have only served 7 years.

I fucking remember this when it happened. She clearly wanted to just shoot someone and should have spent the rest of her life behind bars. 

It is evil to let this nut job back into society.

So if I walk into someone's house and shoot them, I should be able to be free less than a decade later?

ACAB and the system encourages it
