"A New York City judge told a convicted felon Tuesday that “black lives don’t matter to black people with guns” before sentencing him to 24 to 26 years in prison.

“Black lives matter,” Justice Edward McLaughlin told 24-year-old Tareek Arnold as he sentenced him in Manhattan Supreme Court, the New York Post reported.

“I have heard it, I know it, but the sad fact is in this courtroom, so often what happens is manifestations of the fact that black lives don’t matter to black people with guns,” the judge said."

He's right. This will probably still cause some backlash, though. Any bets on how long until the mayor or governor step in and find a way to have him removed?

I want to make it clear that I have NO PROBLEM with law-abiding Black people exercising their 2nd amendment rights.

In fact, a lot of the anti-gun bullcrap got its start post-civil-war when attempts were made to deprive freed slaves from possessing arms, in former confederate states.
