People like fresh and fit will take preach’s emotion as weakness because they are weaklings, constantly trying to pretend to be strong. So when they see somebody showing emotion (perceived weakness), they can’t comprehend it and they see it as an opportunity to say “look he’s weak, i’m not, haha”. What preach brings to the A&P team, is unfiltered emotion and thought, and we appreciate him for it

I've lived in South Texas almost my entire life, about 3 decades. These are my people, and I know them. As long as there is even a miniscule shred of evidence that the guy was doing what they killed him for, the jury will walk them. They won't even take 30 minutes to vote on it. And that's not even factoring in the fact that this is Hispanic culture on top of it. If it's truly a jury of their peers, which would be all south Texas hispanics, they'll laugh at the judge and ask why this is even at trial to begin with.

Quick explanation of Jury nullification. It's when a jury essentially knows the person is guilty but refuses to convict. It's usually when jurors are against a particular law but it can also be used, for when the facts of the particular case being tried, conviction would be unjust. I wish people would use it in cases like this. Kinda skirts around vigilante justice because if someone lets say drives their rapist off the road and happens to kill an innocent bystander you wouldn't use it or just nullify the murder of the rapist.

It’s frustrating as hell…especially in the nuance of things like this

[@seraphimdagger]

The thing that gets me is that it’s common to say that my of us would do what those boys did if that happened to anyone we know. Now we want to pretend that this is an issue when done in real life, right in our faces? Absolutely not! Also what bothers me the most, is that the reporters are saying that their sister’s accusation lends credibility to the first known victim. We really need to start believing victims. If we don’t, then these monsters will never stop because there’s no repercussions

[@CreativeLegend2023]

This is how people lost faith in the justice system. You punish people for taking the law into their own hands but the laws are never enforced/followed up. I just hope no permanent damage was done to the young victims.

I love y'all two motherfuc***s. Y'all make me proud to be a human being. I really love y'all. This one hit home for me. I'm so so fuc**ng proud of you two. I'm a redneck from Tennessee that had to be pulled back cause of sh*t like this. Love you.

Defending the innocent is a valid defense, and it's obvious this guy wasn't going to stop had they not acted. Don't give them a sentence, give them medals.

[@xindaxoxou7431]

The act was done. There is no dfns. Rape is not murder. Murder is faaar worse than mere rape. Rape is bad though yes. what if he didnt do it? Death penalty for those 3.

Those teen boys absolutely did what was right. If my own family was being violated and abused and the police did nothing about it, what do they expect? We can't always sit around and wait for someone else to come and help us. When they won't help you, you have to take matters in their own hands.

[@jcast34]

The tone was really set for this video. I feel for you Preach, you too Aba. It's hard to say it's right just as it's hard to say it's wrong. Can't say I'd act any different if I was put in that kind of situation.

[@mithrias]

Preach, totally there with you mate. Several years ago here in the UK, I met a young woman crying on the street. I helped out and paid for her taxi, offered to carry her bag... As we were walking to the address she was looking for she just kept saying I did it I did it it's in the bag ... I look in the bag and see a 12" kitchen knife caked in dried blood. Big old wide blade too. She had just murdered a pedophile that allegedly abused her boys. Turns out he was a convicted peado in police protection housed near a fking primary school. She stabbed him 8 times so hard she punched the blade straight through his chest and he was dead before he hit the floor. She had completely screwed herself and there was no getting away with it, so with a heavy heart we threw her a party that night and I then held her hand to the police station and went in with her so she could hand herself in. That was one of the hardest things I have done in my life. Fortunately we don't have the death penalty. She would have got 8 years but battered a prison guard while in holding so I think she got 14 years in the end. She should have been given a medal.

[@carlfitzsimons8665]

Holy crap The Sarah Sands case?

[@ksim3461]

Poor, brave woman, I really hope that her kids are okay. It's really baffling. Like, are they a protected class? In 2015/16 , a man in my suburb (Aus), under 24 hour supervision slipped his minders and assulted 2 kids in the half hour he was loose. The half way house (managed by a disability provider) was less than 5 minutes' walk from a primary school. Keeping people like that alive is worthless.

Respect to these boys. Hope they get good lawyers and get out free. At the least their sister will remember this for the rest of her life. Also extra respect for the friend getting involved in his friends family affairs when he coulda left them on their own. What a real one.
