Sports Illustrated celebrates the life of a Murderer

[theHawk]

The USA was and still is founded upon Judeo/Christian principles...(Even if the anti religious faction doesn't like it or acknowledge it)

One of the main tenants of these religions is the principle of forgiveness.

We have forgiveness of debts in the form of bankruptcy and other high crimes and misdemeanors... including presidential and Governorship pardons. Even parole.

That way stories like this can happen. Even habitual and career criminals get a chance at forgiveness. (They only get one though)

Because of this we get some incredible stories and highly talented people doing great things. These stories are NOT the norm of course... ne'er do wells usually never do good. But it's OK to celebrate the successes.

Weird how all the forgiveness stuff doesn’t apply to white guys who called someone “gay” ten years ago in an email.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

No he didn’t. If he did he would be six feet under.

not all killings rate the death penalty.

Seems an adult would know this

 

[westwall]

Let's be understanding.

Print magazines are becoming toast.

So they are desperate to attract readers.

That magazine recently put a transgender lady on its cover.

Now it is celebrating a murderer.

What's next?

That mag will go to any lengths to stay in business.

I cannot blame them. They have to earn a living like everyone else.

No, they don't

There was a pattern in his email over a 7 year period. A single email nobody would have cared about.

Riiight. Randomly shooting someone on a street corner doesn’t warrant tre death penalty.

not normally.

 

[westwall]

not normally.

Why not?

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Why not?

The death penalty normally requires what they call special circumstances. A random shooting would rarely fall under those

Oh I wouldn't even begin to argue about the hypocrisy of the liberals in America. (Or the conservatives either)

Some people just never realized that you never put anything in writing...which includes electronic mail. Especially if it's derogatory. Glowing is also ill advised as well.

 

[Carl in Michigan]

Waaaaaaah, waaaaaaah. get a life, moron.

Can't condemn a murderer if he be black. Noted.

THE INTENTIONAL TAKING OF AN INNOCENT HUMAL LIFE is first degree murder. He needs to die and face Jesus

Thank goodness the US legal system does not agree with you.

There was a guy who was truly brilliant...a rising star. Naturally charismatic. But he used his talents and wit to start riots and even getting a crowd worked up to kill a truly innocent man.
He never stopped even when he was sorry about the guy who got killed. He started even more riots and was jailed and imprisoned many times...died during a riot too.

And this is of course a description of the Apostle Paul who wrote 2/3rds of the New Testament.

Just saying.

 

[Eric Arthur Blair]

Not sure what about this story bothers you so much, other than it is about a black man. Not sure what that says about you, but hey each to their own.

You have a person that made a horrible choice as a teen and paid his debt to society over it. He could have let it control his life, he could have been one of the multitudes of a kid gone bad who never did anything with his life.

Instead he turned his life around and became a hugely successful business man. I think it is one hell of a story and hopefully it can motivate some other kid in the same starting position to do better.

Typical Sports Illustrated fodder. They have been leftist flunkies for a long time.
I dropped my subscription a long time ago like the bad habit that it is.

And he didn't wind up pushing vastly over priced tennis shoes that caused thefts and deaths all
over the underclass in America? Huh, odd.

Nike has always put obscene profits over poor people all over the world. Larry Miller has been complicit
in the deaths of many, many more than just the person he himself murdered.

Why is he being lauded?

 

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

The point being, if you are white, your sins from the past can come up and bite you in the ass FOREVER. If you are Black...no problem at all.

BOOM

 

[Magnus]

Black privilege at work again in the corrupt media.

If a white guy calls someone “gay” in an email ten years ago, he’s fired immediately.

If a black guy confesses to a killing, he’s stunning and brave.

This is how warped the brainwashed morons are on the left.

Jordan Brand Chairman Larry Miller Rose to the Highest Levels of Business and Basketball—but With a Secret - Sports Illustrated

As a teen, Jordan Brand chairman Larry Miller shot and killed a man. He's kept that truth buried, until now.

For every ex-black criminal who turned their life around, there are equal if not more white criminals.

Why? Randomly murdering someone seems pretty dammed special to me.

No motive, no reason at all. Just a senseless killing.

Mad dogs of any race should be put down.

So you are trying to equate a moonshine running case with a senseless murder.

You are fucking stipid.

The US legal system does not agre.

Yet here is a guy that was not and he was able to turn his whole life around and do much good. Maybe that guy from Nazareth was on to something.
