Protestors Calling For Release Of Black Michigan Teen Detained For Missing Homework | MSNBC
It’s a shame she doesn’t have dirt on Trump, she’d have been pardoned by now!
Stick to your child’s game…
Right Winger ππππ good one.
wait were you serious? are you THAT delusional?
@M Gutierrez We never had a perfect prez, but seriously Trump is the best president in yrs.
Right Winger yup you are THAT delusional and desperate, I see.
@M Gutierrez Nah, but the fact that think I’m desperate shows how delusional you are.
WARNING:- FOR THE DURATION OF THE COVID 19 PANDEMIC.

My dog ate my homework!!
This may seem excessive at face value.
“Homework? Really?”
But it was a condition for her probation.
How do you call a person that drives a car into a group of people for political reasons?
In Europe a terrorist!
In America a trump supporter!
Brian Sheβs a child! 15 years old. I donβt know the particulars of the example you cite but if theyβre similar, the person you know was also mistreated. Jail wonβt rehabilitate this child, nor will it benefit her in any way. In fact, it will do more harm than good. I understand the judge wants compliance with her order but find another way. Be creative! Bring her to a facility and have someone help her complete the assignments. This way sheβs fulfilled her obligation and perhaps learned something as a result. Jail simply isnβt the answer.
@Tom McGee
Just to be clear, I’m not comparing a posession of drug offense with a simple school fight/theft. Assuming that’s all that was. No serious injuries etc.
I was using it as an example for violating the terms of probation and what the end result can be.
And I agree, we need better alternatives/programs for situations like this. Simply locking people up for every offense is not the answer. It’s just a sad situation overall.
Brian Agree: be safe
@Tom McGee
And I believe he was locked up for making absolutely no effort to attend classes that he requested for help leading up to the GED exam. Not just because he simply failed the final exam.
I hope this young lady had a good reason for not being able to finish her online school work, for her sake. And even if she didn’t have a good excuse for anyone with common sense can understand. It’s still just a sad situation it came to this.
Take care.
If you can’t send the kid. Send the parents
Violation of probation? Got to do the time. But far less than Roger Stone…what a joke. Obvious imbalance.
Did you say the same thing when Eric Holder did the same thing five times but wasn’t sentenced.
@ihave35cents … Dude, get off the Holder crap. The current republicans, by far, are the worse liars and hypocrites, and corrupt and criminal party, in the history of the USA!
When u on probation u got to walk the chalk line
Roger Stone is free to go after lying to congerss and more, while a 15 year old black girl is in detention for not making her homework once??? Really USA??Your justice system really needs recalibrating because the concistency of it is ridiculous!!!
@ihave35cents but he didn’t threaten witnesses and witnesses
@ihave35cents shut up moron
Refusal to do homework, even under the shadow of probation. “Good” choice! Should have done her homework REGARDLESS, if she’s capable, but she is a “rebel!” The dumb masses continue to disregard common courtesy rules and now that they are open about it, it will be quashed. More detention, more jail. Stop misbehaving on the micro level, so that you can even get a picture of the macro. Then you can argue intelligently instead of like the lady in this video. People, seriously, you’re all mentally handicapped from the left to the right, from the bottom to the top. Good luck with your Armageddon.
@netzoned no other country would order anyone to do homework, secondly, no other country would put a young child in prison on such Minor issues, but she’s black so no one care that your rights are trampled on, good old racist USA
@netzoned at what point did I say that only the republicans have the market cornered on stupidity?
If she were a “little white princess” on probation for stealing and fighting, then not doing her homework she wouldn’t have been sent to juvie!
I guarantee you that
I do a lot of Plumbing work at the Juvenile Detention Center yes there’s a lot of white people in there.
@ihave35cents … It’s a fact that too many people cannot face reality. However, just because _you_ say that, does not make it fact. And, “a lot”, does not declare a percentage.
@netzoned but there is a lot of white chicks in detention center
Meanwhile….seven-time convicted felon Roger Stone spends zero time in jail.

ΧΧΧ¨ ΧΧΧΧΧΧ Or Gluzman lmao only a moron would believe thatβs true .
ΧΧΧ¨ ΧΧΧΧΧΧ Or Gluzman you must be a third world loser
@BAD BIRD Go back to Russia Troll
@John Underwood oh boy another russia love
The government as it is has declared war on poor people and all people of colour , I believe that the BLM demonstrations , are just a drop in the bucket of what is to come , politicians of both parties are to blame by their actions and their non actions ….. it is time for change !!!
So not doing homework is a crime now?
Draining the Swamp ? Whoever thought ALL this would happen!! ππΎπ

Any excuse to put our people behind bars, label them “unfit for society”, and forever ruin their lives. Any excuse they can come up with.
Missing homework will do more time than trumps criminal enterprise lol
Have you heard of “grades?” When I went to school I got a bad grade for not doing my homework. Accumulated bad grades would set me back a year. Times sure have changed. What’s next? Chopping off digits?
Lock her up!!
THIS STINKS LIKE POLITICS. LET THAT CHILD GO AND ASK WHY HER HOMEWORK WAS NOT TURNED. MAYBE IT WAS NO INTERNET OR INTERNET DEVICE AVAILABLE OR A TRANSPORTATION ISSUE.
Family court judges have destroyed the country
