    Gotta love how Karen’s come with the water works when they face consequences. The fuck are you crying for? You murdered a mother of 4 after terrorizing her and kids for years because you are a racist piece of shit. You now get to spend whatever few quality years you have left in prison, good riddance.

  • Prosecutors said Owens had come to Lorincz’s home after her children complained that she had thrown roller skates and an umbrella at them, which Lorincz denied. Trial testimony showed Owens, a mother of four young children, was pounding on Lorincz’s door and yelling,

    Circuit Judge Robert Hodges opted for a slightly lesser term amid evidence that Lorincz had been abused as a child and had mental health problems.

    Shut up… it’s always that us-foreign-policy chart, when it comes to euro-americans, individual ‘mental illness’ or when it comes to black and latin people, ‘ghetto’ behavior

    The shooting was the culmination of a long-running argument between the two neighbors over Owens’ children playing in a grassy area near both of their houses in Ocala, about 80 miles (130 kilometers) northwest of Orlando.

    Literally a case of “get off my lawn”.

    What a crazy unbelievable story! An all-white jury and a white judge found her guilty and sentenced her? In Florida?? That’s absolutely wild!

    The cops were still extremely racist, of course, but that was completely expected
