    Bullshit of the highest order. Why is there no common sense? What the hell is wrong with these people, adding tragedy to tragedy? Why is the answer always to throw somebody in jail, which serves less than no purpose for anything except maybe in the case of serial killers and crazed murderers? And for this… Bloody fuck.

        Edit: ooh, mixed race! Quite possibly the only kind of couple the US “justice” system hates more than black couples!
