"I don't understand how these parents kill their child and receive only 10 years of probation while prisons are full with black men for lesser crimes such as marijuana."


-- What's definitely frightening is the boom in private prisons which demand bodies to fill the cells (mostly black and brown and poor whites) who are used as cheap labor to compete with whatever is left of the American labor force, or the global wage slaves in places like China, El Salvador, Indonesia, and other shining bastions of neoliberal economic policies.

As far as the two parents being given 10 years of probation for the murder of the first child; well, just imagine if the parents were from Pakistan and had decided to engage in "honor killing" due to their faith. Now, I know close to nothing about Islam or the Quran to comment on whether murder or the murder of one's child is directly and specifically an Islamic demand (or command?) from their holy book. I do however remember being around twelve-years-old in San Jose and watching the men in my family drink whiskey, vodka or whatever with a fury while cursing all Muslims, the Quran, Muhammad, etc. during a sudden midnight meeting which resembled a gathering of a posse to go lynch some "hoshara" (Muslim) whom my Assyrian, adult female cousin had decided to marry -- and to whom she's remained happily together for over three decades without being forced into conversion from her religion to his; or to be expected to cover her hair with Hijab; or change the diet to which she was accustomed. (By the way, after all the drinking, cussing, yelling and crying... nothing happened, except for a few foreseeable hangovers; in short, an Assyrian ending.)
