"A non-white woman who murdered two beautiful non-white children was sentenced to only eight years in prison. A non-white man who allegedly inflicted a dozen potentially life-threatening stab wounds to his non-white wife's back was charged with only aggravated assault. And an Indian man has to serve 25 years for a cut to a Caucasian face that was never life-threatening. Is this 'equal justice' or 'equal: just us'?"
