Of course it's ridiculous. And this topic was clearly about racism, which is why the article was accusing the judge (probably rightly so, too) of being racist and bringing up a similar case (and of course, there could have been a million other reasons why the sentences were different other than race, but whatever).
And I forget who said that the cracker kid was beat pretty bad. I mean, six niggers jumped the poor guy, he'll probably never walk right again. I don't think being jumped 6-1 counts as a simple schoolyard fight and depending on the kid's role he may very well deserve a good sentencing, and although 22 years is stretching it he likely won't serve all of those years anyways.
