Let's see if his new friends go to his funeral

Do you think there would be any chance being labeled as a misdemeanor, the case being closed early or ending in a plea bargain with no jail time??? Do you think the DA or anyone in his office would be able to survive after publicly stating they reached their decision b/c of pressure from the black community??? Wtf do you think wouldve happen if a black rookie cop had been CONVICTED of killing an innocent unarmed asain man in the middle of china town? Do you think the prosecuting DA would have recommended probation for a crime that carries a maximum 15 year sentence??? Do you honestly believe these hypothetical situations would have turned out the same way.
Not only that black people wouldn't of co-signed some fuckery like that. Black people have great since of morality and we known what is right and what is wrong. Though we can understand and empathize with why muthafuckas at out, we as a people would never advocate people escaping justice simply because we share the same melanin content. -
Hold up
His wife name is.....Lu-Shawn???

The three Orthodox Jewish men accused of brutally beating a ? black man and leaving him partially blind will likely not serve prison time under an expected plea deal, the Daily News has learned.
The case largely crumbled once at least two witnesses to the December 2013 beatdown changed their version of events after initially implicating the members of the Shomrim volunteer Jewish security patrol, sources said.
Also, surveillance video from the Williamsburg, Brooklyn, scene is limited, people familiar with the case told The News.
Taj Patterson, 25, was walking down Flushing Ave. in Williamsburg in December 2013 when he was set upon by a gang of men shouting anti-? slurs, prosecutors said. Patterson suffered severe injuries including a broken eye socket and a torn retina that has left him permanently blind in one eye.
Patterson's lawyer charged members of the insular Hasidic community pressed the witnesses to recant.
"The Shomrim claim they are committed to justice, yet they shut down witnesses with an efficiency the mafia would envy," said Patterson's lawyer, Andrew Stoll. "They banish and shun any member of their community who dares to come forward."
The three defendants are Abraham Winkler, 40, Mayer Herskovic, 22, and Pinchas Braver, 20.
Two of the accused men will accept a misdemeanor charge while the other will admit to a felony offense at their next court date, sources said. None will face jail time under the agreement negotiated by prosecutors for Brooklyn District Attorney Ken Thompson, according to sources.
The DA's office declined to comment on the plea negotiations. The men's lawyers did not reply to requests seeking comment.
The 25-year-old was attacked by a gang of men shouting anti-? slurs, according to prosecutors.
On Monday, the case was adjourned for the 14th time, court records show.
Initially, five men were arrested for their alleged role in the early morning attack on Dec. 1, 2013.
"It was a very serious crime with incredibly serious injuries caused to the victim," Police Commissioner Bill Bratton told reporters at the time.
But prosecutors dropped charges against one of the alleged assailants, Joseph Fried, 27, last December. That came after a second defendant, Aharon Hollender, 29, also had his case dismissed last March.
The case was almost closed from the outset due to pressure from the Orthodox community, the News reported earlier this month.
Cops from the 90th Precinct initially classified the attack as a misdemeanor and inexplicably marked the complaint "closed" despite several witnesses.
It only got reopened after the Patterson's mother vociferously complained and got media coverage on the case.
Police maintain the case was brought back to life after a crime analyst noticed it was prematurely closed.
As for the planned plea deal, one community activist predicted it would have damaging consequences.
"The fact that no one is going to get jail time because of this is alarming," said activist Tony Herbert. "It will have serious ramifications throughout the community, particularly the African-American community."Undefeatable wrote: »I agree that the Peter Liang decision was a mistake.
But the idea that this erases all the other good that he has done is just stupid, perhaps even evil.
The people saying this ? are the ? of the earth.
Muthafuckas are actually throwin' on a cape and havin' it on hella tight for a ? made Tommin' muthafucka who literally used "his," own people for political gain. The cold part about is this muthafucka knew when he agreed to this fuckery that he was on his death bed, so he ain't had ? to lose. For all the supposed "good," he did was negated when he allowed other people from other communities to harm us with impunity. I defy you to find me another case in Kings County where somebody got stomped the ? out and they perpetrator walked away with ? probation.
To me what happened in this case is actually more ? up than recommending Laing not get jail time (assuming, as I have no reason to doubt, that the whole thing was a freak accident, as portrayed). I would have liked to hear what his thinking was with this one. -

Started listening to this. What he is saying is confused.
He says that after prosecuting Laing and in effect claiming that the shooting was no accident, he turned around and claimed that the shooting was an accident when he recommended no jail time.
This is confused because just because he prosecuted him doesn't mean that he didn't believe it was an accident. A person can be criminally liable for an accident. I believe they would call it culpable negligence.
He also claimed that he was bought off by Asians. What's the evidence of that? That is a pretty serious allegation. -

Quoted for emphasis...its quite simple, the bolded says it all. The D.A. has the power in a criminal case. He saw fit to charge with manslaughter, why? Because that's what the evidence spoke to. To backtrack after a conviction and allow Liang to walk free is a travesty of justice.
? Ken Thompson. I hope Willie D puts his dead ass in the remix.https://youtu.be/Bd7YDAKlCo8

What the hell is wrong with you yo? You gassing ya self if you think all this slandering and militant talk sound cool on the internet. Something traumatic happened to you man because you got too much hate in your heart
You need help. Real talk. -

Actually, I don't. I'm just echoing the sentiments of a lot of people.
Something traumatic happened to you man because you got too much hate in your heart. You need help. Real talk.
I only have hate for those sellout Uncle Tom ? and to tell the truth, I'm actually showing feelings I rarely show, which is empathy and compassion. One of my potnas (or ? forbid,) myself could of victims of this fuckery and had it been me, I'd be in Rikers (or upstate right, now) because I would have beat this dying muthafucka's ass and encourage tried to get a riot poppin' off. But enough about me, please explain why you're capin' for a treacherous ain't ? ass ? that sold out his people to chinks and kites? -

Yeah aight, you frontin yo. I'm not falling for the charade you show on here. You wrote a titangraph of hate to a poster who personally knows Ken Thompson.
Look man, I don't agree with the sentencing of Peter Liang. That case was a little difficult because it was an accident. I still think he should've got jail time for 5 years or so. Ken Thompson said he wanted justice and not revenge. Its still not good enough but I understand where he's coming from. He showed the power of will to forgive which apparently many of y'all don't understand. He prosecuted one of the Jewish guys that assaulted Taj Patterson. The others took plea bargains before he could even prosecute but it's still not good enough.
Ken Thompson is not a sell out, traitor, uncle tom or a ? . Y'all use these terms too loosely. For every person that speaks bad about Ken, there's a lot more people that he helped that will speak good about him. Would you call Abner Louima an apologist? What about David McCallum? An innocent man black man wrongfully accused for a murder he didn't commit. Dude was in prison for 29 years and spoke highly for Ken Thompson who helped freed him. What about Emmet Till's family? Are they apologists? I wouldn't mind being in the company of apologist to those he helped.
Ken Thompson has done more for the community than those that like to ride on the bandwagon of hate. So you need to look in the mirror and ask yourself "what have I done for my community?"
You and others that think making a thread about ? this, uncle tom that is helping the cause? Who are y'all trying to impress? Ya IC friends for goats, ethers, and cosigns?
These reactions and posters that like to hide behind them don't really mean ? my ? .
Remember that and check ya self b. -

Not going to get into the rest of your post cause I don't feel in cases like Thompson the good he did can just all be nullified and forgotten cause of the ? he pulled.
The bold is complete ? though. Thompson being the top cop of that county has to offer a plea deal before one can be accepted. So you got damn right that ain't good enough.
People don't get locked up and just say "I'm accepting a plea bargin" without the prosecutor offering one first.
With that said he never planned on prosecuting those folks.

You're right about the plea bargain stuff but I don't agree with Ken Thompson not wanting to prosecute. I'm not saying that all of his positives in public should be nullified for his negatives. I just think that it is unfair to forget about them. I would've been fine if some said they don't like how Ken handled this situation but still fought for and helped a lot of people. Saying stuff like rest in ? and other slander made me think that it is unfair because he didn't deserve that yo. -

This ? . You're the same muthafucka that would have been in the Booker T. Washington camp talm 'bout, "We have to slowly assimilate and gain the respect of white people before we can expect equal rights. This ? spineless muthafucka ain't do ? for the community or any good because when it came time for him to do what was morally and ethically right he threw muthafuckas under the bus.
You kept bringing up the fact this ? made muthafucka absolved people's record and ? (as that us suppose to erase the fact he ain't give ? about his largest constituency,). You actually think this Uncle Tom ass muthafucka would have given those people any sort of redress if there was political opposition to it? And you have the nerve to talk about me. Naw potna you need to ashamed of yourself. Then again ? , Toms, sambos, bed wenches and wanna be white are completely void of shame. Just as long as they have the approval of white people. It's all-to-the-good. I wouldn't be surprised if you were a Dominican with all of this weak ass Tom apologist ? you're spewing.
