Is it, in your opinion, alright to kill over the "n" word?

He was railroaded because he is White.

There is nothing in that article or any other that says the elder hit the manager.

Did not the punch cause him to fall backwards and hit his head??
Probably, but the punch likely didn't kill him. Hitting his head did lead to his death. There is nothing in the article stating Cook received a fractured jaw. I agree, the use of inflammatory names is egregious, but is still simply emotionally hurtful words and we should ALL be more circumspect in our use of name-calling. There is no excuse to call Blacks the "N" word, or Whites "Crackers and "Karen" or to insult any other person based on their color, ethnicity or other factors. But, again, name-calling doesn't elevate itself to (nor should it) the level of violence or striking someone.. I still think the sentence was fair. I do not believe the young man INTENTIONALLY killed Mr Cook. He looks pretty frightened in the police photo and I'm sure he regrets hitting him. In a moment of pique, his life is now in a shambles. Sad article on many levels.

A black manager at a Dunkin’ in Florida fatally punched an elderly, white customer who called him the N-word will not spend any time behind bars, and instead will serve two years of house arrest as part of his guilty plea.
Is this justice?

I'm sorry, but in this particular case, (there were really bad choices on both sides,) but the young black man who punched the white man for calling him the N-word didn't beat him to death, he punched him one time...it was a horrible accident. IMO the sentence was appropriate.
