March 22, 2023Another teen accused in swarming death of Ken Lee granted bail
Upon hearing the decision from Justice Maria Sirivar in Youth Court, family of the accused clapped, dropped to their knees in tears and embraced her in a long hug.
IDK I mean your kid helped murder someone. Clapping that they are getting off easy seems a little much. Imagine being a loved one of the man they murdered watching this. Do you think the parents feel any responsibility or will try and at least use this as a learning opportunity to try and help their offspring understand what they have done and why it was so wrong? Sounds like they will have a big party and clap and laugh about it.

Canada Lee’s Curtain Call | Columbia Magazine
If Canada Lee had been born 10 years later, he might still be a household name. He was the Sugar Ray Robinson of his day and “the best Negro actor of his time,” according to The Ring magazine and the New York Times, respectively. But cruel circumstances, and even crueler people, colluded to banish him from the public eye and, ultimately, from the public’s memory.
