  1. To be fair, we don't know what happened in his case. It's very common for inmates to tell only part of the story.

  2. We don't know if that was truly the case. It's very common for inmates to only tell part of the story.

  4. Well, clearly, the only reason he was arrested is because he's black. 🙄 Why are you comparing his crime to yours? There were too many differing factors to even try to compare them - different year, city, store, attorney, judge... Why are you assuming that we know the whole story? I'd bet my last dollar that he didn't just steal one pair of jeans. There's a lot more to the story.

  5. Why is everyone assuming that the first guy only stole one pair of jeans. I'd bet my last dollar that there's much more to the story.
