What crime did the cyclists committ before their death penalty? Cycling while white?
Is someone claiming they deserved to be killed? You’re being very emotional. Their untimely deaths are certainly tragic, but, like the adult children of one of the cyclists told the judge, ruining the life of Baxter is another unwarranted injustice that doesn’t serve any logical purpose.

Alex Baldwin laughs at these charges
Laws are only for poor people. Alec even pulled the trigger and is free while Baxter is in jail for life when he wasn’t even at the crime scene when the deaths occurred.

Why?

“If the non-runner had decided NOT TO COMMIT any criminal acts, do you think he/she/it would still be held responsible for the deaths?”
"The time" for petty burglary is not life in prison.

Could the law which holds BOTH criminals liable possibly be a DETERRENT to what actually happened?

Why were the two criminals running away?
They weren’t. Baxter was in handcuffs in police custody while his accomplice drove away.
quote:
As a result of them fleeing, two innocent cyclists were killed when struck by one of the vehicles involved in the chase
Again, Baxter didn’t run. This is very explicitly pointed out in the article. Not sure how you’re confused about that.

a chase that would never have taken place if the two criminals had not been caught committing a crime.
Also wouldn’t have occurred if the police didn’t start a high speed pursuit to catch someone who stole spare change from 5 unlocked cars.

Why is that so difficult to understand?
You don’t even have the facts of the incident correct, friend. Please don’t lecture anyone else about not understanding something.

Felony murder has outliers, but for the most part, it does what it is supposed to do.
If it's so egregious, he can petition for clemency.

I agree.
Derick Chauvin must be released!

Change it up. Two guys rob a store. The police are coming so when they exit the door they run in different directions. One of the guys shoots a cop.
In this scenario, both perpetrators ran. That’s not what happened here. One had been arrested and was in police custody while the other ran and killed the cyclists.

Burglary. He was a grown arse adult committing burglary
Yep. That’s the point. He should be charged with burglary, not murder.

That article actually addressed this. Data was compiled that proved people convicted of felony murder didn’t even know the law existed. It is 100% not a deterrent.

I was genuinely asking. I assume it’s because rational people understand felony murder convictions are often nonsensical so that conviction is lumped in with other murder convictions to muddy the waters. No one knows how many Americans are in prison for life for deaths they ultimately did not cause.

Yes, the cops should have just let them break into cars. It wouldn't lead to them committing worse crimes or anything.
Is it part of your commie activist job to post one garbage article a day here?

They missed one who also should be charged.
Whoever shot Sadik put a chain of events in motion.
- Sadik got shot
- the long recovery introduced pain killers
- he got addicted
- he turned to crime for money for his addiction
- his burglary led to him being charged for felony murder
Someone needs to charge the nightclub shooter as well. Maybe his mother too for birthing him.
The butterfly effect is in full swing.

In a 2009 Miami night-club shooting, he’d taken a stray bullet in his tailbone, and the long recovery had cost him his job at the reception desk of a hotel. “Can you believe I’m changing your Pampers again?” his mom teased as she took care of him. Just as his gunshot injury began to heal, she had a stroke, then died at the age of fifty-nine. In his grief and physical distress, Sadik became addicted to painkillers.

How were you able to draw this conclusion? Felony murder convictions aren’t tracked.

Seems to me your problem should rest more with overzealous prosecutors looking to rack up scalps, rather than the law itself.
The DA should have some discretion to use a little common sense here. He chose not to exercise it.
