What I disagree with is misinformation. The OP insinuated that the woman perp has a past of racist violence for which she's been given a free pass.

Now I didn't know that one of the boyfriends she stabbed was black.

She's a beneficiary of white privilege in the legal system, but she doesn't appear to have a history of hate crimes until the day that she ran over two children.
