Do you believe the jury went too hard on hate-crime killer Broderick, jlallen? Hate crime killer curses at jury (see link for video) cofcc.org excerpt: Broderick Patterson was sentenced to life in prison for killing Eric Forrester in 2010. Patterson and Clifton Elliott, another black male, killed Forrester execution style for the fun of it. Both Patterson and Elliot blame each other for pulling the trigger. Patterson yelled profanity at the jury. His family told media that the justice system was to blame for not rehabilitating their violent son sooner. Members of the jury had to be escorted to their cars for fear of retaliation from Patterson’s gangbanger friends, who were present at the sentencing. Patterson will probably be treated as a hero in prison for having killed a white man. --- The video of his outburst describes how one of his animalistic family members lunged at a camera crew outside the courtroom as well as how they blamed juvenile court for Broderick becoming a hate-crime killer. I'm not sure why the state didn't execute him long ago. I suppose they were counting on his free prison labor, such as mowing the sides of roads and picking up trash for the next 30 years, while sending taxpayers the bill for his room, board, food, clothes, and supervision and ordering us to pay at gunpoint. We need a government that will put his kind down, early on, when trouble is initially identified. -ng- It's a shame that prisons no longer dole out corporal punishment. Broderick certainly needs a few years of daily whippings, which his father obviously never gave him, to teach him some manners and respect. -ng-
