Negro** Lady Faces More Jail Time Than the Drunk Driver Who Killed Her Son

J Walking while black.

I guess she's lucky she wasn't shot.

The driver, Jerry Guy, "fled the scene after the accident but later admitted being involved, according to CNN affiliate WXIA-TV. He was sentenced to five years in prison but served only six months. He is serving the remainder of the sentence on probation," CNN noted in July of 2011. Nelson's son A.J. died in April 2010. This woman has been on trial for three years while grieving for the death of her son in what was an accident caused by a drunk driver. If Nelson were to be ticketed at all, to be made an example of (because she's a black single mother and American society loves to make an example of black single mothers), the only charge that seems reasonable in this case is "crossing roadway elsewhere than a crosswalk." There's no doubt that pedestrians need to obey rules and watch out for their own safety, but as Nelson's attorney, David Savoy, suggested, "the white stripes of a crosswalk are not impenetrable walls of steel that could have prevented a driver from striking someone crossing the street."

Reminds me of an old joke:

A redneck driving on a country road in Georgia sees three negros ahead on the road. He puts the pedal to the metal and runs all three down.

One negro gets knocked into a nearby field; another crashes through the truck's windshield and the third lands 100 feet down the road, gets up and runs away. Just then a cop car pulls up. "Oh, no!!" thinks the redneck. Cop asks redneck what happened, and redneck tells him the truth.

"No problem" says the cop, "we'll charge the first one with trespassing, the second with breaking and entering, and the third with leaving the scene of an accident".
