Around 39% of the U.S. violent crime prison population is black. The rate of arrest for violent crimes is also 38% black. Might it be the US has a crime problem and not a particular black problem? This case's offender clearly stood out many times but the stats matching tells me that there is no racial bias to keep black offenders out of prison. Lastly, prison for life is unnecessarily expensive. Violent crime peaks at a young age and is barely committed by people aged 45 or older. To keep people locked away after 55 should really be reserved for actual murderers or otherwise very extreme cases. So what are your policy suggestions? Pre-crime put away all blacks? Should we also put away all men that are also drastically over-represented in violent crime? A thing I could get behind is to put away all gang members that are actually more over-represented among violent offenders than blacks or young men. Lastly, the whole "put them away" thing is also very popular in the US already, so they are doing something wrong but it's certainly not that they don't put away enough people.

Yea, focusing of the race wont solve the issue but only creates more. 70% of black Americans are born to a single mother. Add to that with majority of them born and raised in dense urban environments (were gang culture is prominent). It creates conditions to be violent. Social policies focused on assisting in education and guidance on youth without fathers rather then focusing on race will help everyone more.

It's a fact that black males of any age are much more violent than white males. You're not denying that fact. The policy suggestion is very simple: life sentences or execution for violent criminals. The black male who murdered Iryna had numerous prior violent convictions, including armed robbery. Had we executed him for that she would still be alive; his entire life was a negative value to society. Of course, with about 10% of the black population having felony convictions for violent crime, that's a hell of a lot of people in jail for life or executed. But that's fine. They're are serious criminals and we damn well should remove them from society. Stop coddling people who clearly are too stupid and violent to be a part of civilized society. There is zero reason to accept innocent woman getting murdered by worthless psychopaths who have been in and out of the prison system their entire life. Now, concretely, a three strikes law is one way to implement this. A more clever way would be to make it probabilistic, so criminals have an incentive to cooperate with police. For example, a round of Russian roulette (1/6th chance of dying) per serious violent criminal conviction would be a good start. We also should try to intercept these worthless, violent, individuals early in life. The young teen who repeatedly attacks his classmates in school for no reason should be institutionalized for life. Right now we give the benefit of the doubt to young offenders. The reality is we should be doing the opposite: the younger violence starts, the more likely it will be a lifelong unfixable problem. Again, this will disproportionately remove young black males from society. But that reflects their inherently high rates of violence. We spent hundreds of years executing thieves and murderers to get a civilized society. Removing those impulses from the gene pool is what it takes.

Haha you defnitly watch too much Batman or something. I have a really hard time to take your note serious. I hope you know, that a constitutional state should follow equality and proportionality when sentencing someone. In addition, there are very good reasons why death penalty is not conform with human rights. But probably you like a state which does ristrict your rights below the well consesed bare minimum of the human rights. Human rights are no high standard. Also is it very a realistic model, all reason based countries follow.
