The black male who was filmed by his brother assaulting a white Macy's employee in Flint, Michigan is being sentenced as a "youthful trainee" by state prosecutors despite being a grown a** man and may just get probation.

[Thread] Reposting this to be more precise than my previous post. The guy who assaulted the Macy’s employee, claiming the employee said the N word now admits that the story was a lie. However he says his brother is the one who made it up.

Now in a plea deal the assailant, who brutalized an innocent man, will not have a felony record. He’ll be charged as a juvenile even though he’s a legal adult.https://t.co/2QW1S7tBZd

This is a travesty of justice and the implication is that felony assault is all but legal if the assailant so much as believes he heard a racial slur. Needless to say reverse the races on this story and the attacker is looking at many years in prison on federal hate crime charges

He’ll be prosecuted under the Holmes Youthful Training Act, which apparently allows adults up to the age of 24 to be charged as “youthful trainees” and avoid a criminal record even for violent crimes like this https://t.co/QuMbwqOU1U

Is this the "systemic racism" we hear so much about?

From MLive:

An 18-year-old man told a Genesee County District Court judge Wednesday morning that his brother lied to him about the use of a racial slur by an employee at a store inside the Genesee Valley Center in Flint Township.

At a Wednesday, Aug. 12, preliminary examination before Genesee District Judge Jennifer J. Manley, Damire C. Palmer, of Mt. Morris Township, testified his brother told him the employee inside the Macy's store had used a slur after being asked a question about clothing.

"The statement that (my brother) made was untrue and I swung on him for no reason," said Palmer, of hitting the employee multiple times on July 15.

That's the most obvious lie I've ever heard but the underlings of Genesee County prosecutor David Leyton are just running with it because racism.

When asked by Genesee County Assistant Prosecutor Patrick McCombs why his brother would lie to him, Palmer responded: "I wouldn't know. I honestly wouldn't."

"But you took your brother at his word, right?" asked McCombs.

"Yes, I did," Palmer said.

When asked by McCombs if the assault that injured the store employee was over the alleged use of the racial slur, Palmer said yes.

[...] In speaking with the victim, McCombs told the court that Palmer would be sentenced under the Holmes Youthful Training Act, which could lead to probation on a lesser charge of aggravated assault after completion of any programming order by a circuit court judge.

That's all they needed to hear.

They'll let people off for murder if they just claim their victim said the n-word.

As we've seen in this case and many others, perpetrators of privilege these days just reflexively claim they were called the n-word as a matter of routine.

"He pleaded guilty in court to a single count of assault with intent to do great bodily harm less than murder, punishable by up to 10 years in prison and/or a $5,000 fine," MLive reported.

[CORRECTION: He's being charged as a "youthful trainee," which is similar but not as lenient as being charged as a juvenile. As he's reportedly being sentenced under the Holmes Youthful Trainee Act he's looking at mere probation "on a lesser charge of aggravated assault," according to MLive.]
