Selling illegal cigarettes is not a death penality crime. What he's doing is selling them one or two at a time to folks who can't afford to buy a full pack. It's nickle and dime stuff, basically. Doesn't warrant a dealth penality.Don't feel bad for the family...they will be comforted by the inevitable lawsuit windfall paid for by the law abiding jews of NYC.Garner's family should have claimed they have ties to the IRA if they wanted King's respect and praise.
If they sue for lost income, how much of the money Garner made selling un-taxed cigarettes did he claim on his taxes?
Garner died as a result of resisting arrest. He made a bad choice.
