Just to make sure that there is no confusion or misunderstanding let me make this perfectly clear. In the event that I am murdered godforbid, I DO NOT want the people who love me to hug and forgive the murderer. I want justice, accountability and retribution. Anyone in my family who would let my innocent blood spill in vain is here and forever more disowned from my lineage.
I can't understand why you white jesus worshippers can't understand that simple premise.
Nobody misunderstands that viewpoint as its rational and makes sense. The confusion is in the fact that the family is catching more judgement for this than the judge, the jury who actually gave a light sentence and the actual person who killed Botham Jean. Look at this thread. There's been more discussion on the family's reaction than any of the things mentioned and those are the things/people who should be being attacked. Instead of attacking them folks going after the family. The easy target to show how mad you are. That's why it comes off as performative. Take on the harder target not the easy one you see won't fight back. That's how you get justice and retribution. Not by shitting on his family. That does nothing
