While some lauded Botham Jean’s brother, Brandt, for summoning up the gumption to forgive and asking to hug the convicted killer, many other Blacks were physically sickened that the judge also did so, then retreated to her chambers to fetch her Bible for Guyger.
I have never seen a judge hugging a convicted cold blooded murderer. Black people in this courtroom was hugging, petting and comforting this racist killer Amber Guyger nonstop. Thats the justification that mostly white-identified jury needed to give her a slap on the wrist#smh pic.twitter.com/itzJHi1Njj

Another Twitter user added: “I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. A cold blooded murderer being coddled by Botham’s Family, the judge and a black police officer. Where’s the justice for Botham? His family should be ashamed. I am ashamed for them. (sic)”

When a HOMELESS BLACK MOTHER gets sentenced to years in prison for nothing more than lying about her son's address so he can go to school…..
You don't see any BLACK FOLKS hoarding up in court to hug & comfort her.
NO! She's Fat, Dark, homeless, doomed. She gets ignored!
