For Certain Classes of Felons, the Killing is Free; Small-Town Montana Boy Makes Bad

 

The late Joseph “JoJo” Gregory Carnefix III befriended the wrong guy, and now, unless there’s a surviving brother to pick up the slack, there’ll be no JoJo IV.
 



Polite killer Jacob Burroughs, 19, pleaded guilty to negligent homicide with tears in his eyes in court on January 26. But don’t worry about Jacob—he got a free killing. He killed his friend while driving 110-120 mph.

By A Montana Reader

N.S.: Montana Reader sent me the following links, asking:

MR: What do you notice about this article:

“Teen Pleads Guilty to Negligent Homicide in Deadly Crash” (The Bozeman Daily Chronicle).

And gee, gosh, golly, here's "his" page at the paper's website: Jacob Burroughs.

... nice timeline to May 17, 2017 here (scroll down): “Warrants Again Issued for Bozeman Negligent Homicide Suspect” (The Bozeman Daily Chronicle).

Response by N.S.: That the BDC operative, Whitney Bermes, keeps referring to the 18 and then-19-YO perp as a “teen”?

That no matter how many times Jacob Burroughs re-offends, he just gets bonded out again?

That Burroughs gets depicted as if he were a patient, rather than a career criminal?

That Burroughs has no insight whatsoever, and just continues doing whatever he feels like doing?

That the BDO does not permit reader comments on these stories?

And I think this was the zinger you were thinking of: Burroughs just keeps committing crime after crime after crime, at every level, including killing someone, without ever getting punished.

MR: What I notice is that he looks black (mulatto, actually) -- no?

And that's a pretty small demographic in Bozeman and Montana.

[N.S.: Under President Donald J. Trump, the Census Bureau has literally “Xed” out “Race and Hispanic Origin” that I’ve been retrieving from their Website’s “Quick Facts” section for many years. However, the Bureau’s “American FactFinder” section reports that Bozeman is 0.5% “Black or African American,” and 2.1% “Two or More Races.” However, this section no longer provides stats on “Non-Hispanic Whites.” It reports that Bozeman is 93.6% white, but that would include some Hispanics (“Hispanic or Latino of any race”), who are listed as 2.9% of the population.

The Bureau’s “American FactFinder” section does, however, still contain such information on Montana, which it reports is 86.8% “Not Hispanic or Latino/White alone.” In other words, Montana is one of the whitest places in America, and Bozeman is even whiter.]

N.S.: Well, yes, he does, but that's so common for your garden variety career criminal in this country that I didn't remark upon it. Also, when I noted that he received affirmative action sentencing all the way down the line, the mulatto factor was a given.

I didn't consider the Bozeman factor, but affirmative action sentencing is apparently universal in America, regardless of local demographics.

Jacob Burroughs surely committed many crimes as a minor, and once he attained majority in the eyes of the criminal in Montana, at 17, he committed felonies (felony theft and felony burglary) which were switched to juvenile court. His felony theft of a shotgun form an unlocked vehicle was not cited on the list above.

So, he graduated from felony theft and burglary to negligent homicide (killing his friend “JoJo” while driving 110-120 mph, and flipping over the car), without ever being punished. And now, he’s going to skate for the killing, too.

I’ve written repeatedly on affirmative action criminal justice for blacks.

In the case of Far Rockaway, Queens’ Milan Taylor, felony assault and attempted murder are re-defined as “assault, criminal obstruction of breathing and second degree [sic] harassment,” which a plea bargain turns into “disorderly conduct”!

In Atlanta, Jamal aka Shamal Thompson was permitted to commit felony after felony without any punishment, until he murdered acclaimed, white cancer researcher Eugenia “Jeanne” Calle, 57.

In Delaware, there’s Radee Labeeb Prince.

The Navy supported racist, eventual black mass murderer, Aaron Alexis.

Tremaine Leigh is yet another case of AA criminal justice, Atlanta-style.

The media and academia respond to out-of-control black criminality by increasing their lying, in promoting the blood libel of “racial profiling,” and demanding “criminal justice reform.” Even some Republican elected officials have jumped on this bandwagon to hell.

And so it goes.
