The man died. What do you think would be a fairer punishment ?

I don't know about the US, but in the UK if you unintentionally kill someone, you are charged with manslaughter. 

In this case, 'aggravated' manslaughter seems too harsh. It doesn't say he will definitely get 30 years, just that that is the max sentence. 

If he has a good record otherwise, it should be much lower. 

@GurjantGnosticsince you live in the US, would you agree with what we hear in the UK that non-whites get much harsher sentences compared to whites there ?

Personally, I have no idea how I would treat this case. I don't see how long term prison sentences benefit anyone but the most dangerous criminals.

Yes non whites statistically, imperically, get much harsher sentences. 

I don't know how to exactly treat the case either, but like you said the 30 years is too harsh potentially.

@Jassu 

If your relatives are racist, they need to change or go too. No room for racist Sikhs. And if they go getting up in people's faces screaming N***** I hope they get laid out too. And if they hit their weak <banned word filter activated> head. Oh well. 

Maybe pray at your Jatthera they get sorted out by Guru Ji before me. 

And how did none of them instill in you enough Sikhi to know not to date?

Let's sell their racism and buy you some sharam. So you all can sit and enjoy the warmth of that Dharam.

Indians of the older generation (pre-'millennials') have tendency to racism. I don't think it's anything like the hardcore racism that exists in the States, it's more ignorance. Also, Indians are very 'colorist' - they much prefer lighter skinned people in their own societies. 

But you don't see it as much with Western-raised Indians.

It's all Har Kirpa. I wanted to ease myself into the hypocrisy and problems of the Paanth slowly. It's one of the reasons I joined here. I knew as I was approaching Sikhi, how perfect it is, I knew Sikhs by and large are excellent, but I also knew I was going to run into the negative aspect, and this place has allowed me to learn about Gurmat and also the problems that have taken root within us, and those we face. 

When I was truly fresh to this I knew it would break me to see the unberbelly, but as intended, the time, the information, most importantly the effects of the Gurmantar, have bolstered my immunity and resolve. 

If you're a racist, a casteist, a sexual predator and you're a Sikh, if you promote kurehit, want to change Sikhi to suit your ego, or have infiltrated, you best get it out the way before we cross paths. 

It's open season on those behaviors.

For the record. When those of us who understand hear a story like this told, we just start shaking our heads...make sharp inhaling noises..hang our heads...we get to the part where Corey for example punches the dude and we say "Coreyyy...noooo..bro..." Because we know he's right in a lot of ways and we know what's going to happen to him one way or another before we even hear the rest of the story. 

One on one with my younger brothers I always tell them they can't be Corey, that no matter how right it is, we can't afford to lose them over some dumb <banned word filter activated>. So there's a lot of talk of emotional intelligence, coping mechanisms, and a lot of encouragement and reinforcement of what is Right and what is real right now. 

I will in fact use Corey as an example to not be Corey moving forward. 

AND at the same time, not individually advised, but on the mass scale, I fully support a system whereby people are held directly accountable for their mouth and actions. 

If you have a friend that runs their mouth, what you tell them? Keep going and some day somebody is going to rightfully paste you one and you'll have it coming. And you'd be right. And it should be that way sometimes until it doesn't have to be that way.

During the height of the pandemic, a lot of Asians were facing racial abuse (I’m only mentioning verbal abuse; I’m aware of the physical abuse too) yet I didn’t hear them going around and knocking people out to the point of death.

Because most of them can't fight, that's the truth. If they could Bruce Lee a racist fudhu away they would have.  

Most race attacks are like that. The racists generally like to choose situations and people that aren't too much of a threat to them. I don't know what happened to this old fart though? Maybe he was so full of hate and contempt (and his past experiences taught him), that he thought there would be no consequences?

    • We have lamp (or Jyot) the pure unscented candle for a reason. Traditionally, Patis used candle light (jyot), so they could read SGGS in darkness. Light, elec didn't exist. Dhoop is used to attract the "Good spirits" but also keep freshness where Maharaj will be.  Interestingly and coincidentally I heard Sakhi a few dsys ago. During Dasa Pitha's time these souls were roaming the Earth and even Sangat noticed. Maharaj asked them "y u here?" They replied during recitation of SGGS and making Degh they didn't bother lighting candle. THAT WAS THEE ONLY REASON NO GATI WAS GIVEN TO THEM!!!  AUTHENTICITY NOT CHECKED I heard once on YT like 2 days ago.  If u apply dhoop in one room of your house twice a week u will notice a difference esp in the smell and freshness of that room. 
    • Sangat ji, With the hot weather as per Guru's Hukm, how can we look after our kes?  First of all the beard! Working in Construction, factory and any other heated environment I UNDERSTAND! At my workplace it's over 32 degree celcius and sometimes we have to lift 20kg ALL! DAY! My tips, regularly shampoo the beard during ishnan. APPLY OIL! The technique of applying oil is by rubbing it thoroughly in the roots. Pay attention to the noise esp on the chin. You will hear this "crosh crosh" noise. Keep rubbing oil until u can't hear it no more! This means the oil has blended in properly.  Second tip on beard, keep an extra kanga in your pocket. Every two, three hours give your beard a proper comb down to get rid of any sweat or stickiness. SECOND BENEFIT! Do this all 12 months every single day your beard will look like it's been professionally groomed. TRY IT! People will ask you "What gel u use? How can yer beard be naturally like that?" You can say all I use is coconut oil or whaeva oil but just comb the beard every 2-3 hours for a minute.  As for the kes, morning time get rid of all the gronjra (or knots - forgotten English word), in the morning. However, during evening comb down make sure you get rid of small remaining gronjra and comb yer hair nice and straight. You will feel soooo so relaxed. Yes our hair will go unnoticed due to Dastar, but our hair demands time and self grooming!So proper combing down, spending a good 15-20 mins most evenings is an absolute MUST!  Most evenings I let my hair down and cover hair with my parna for 2-3 hours so it gets to relax from the tying up.  FINAL TIP! We are Sikhs so we keep fighting and remember this! The tradition of Dastar and uncut hair started in India, where the weather is twice as hot. Everytime we bring this thought in the mind, Guru ji will bless us and make us feel cooled down by a notch.  Fateh.       
    • Been so much nindya and attacking Shastarvidiya since the 2000s, however if we look at gatka now it's still mostly as poor and poorly taught as it was back then, still morris dancing moves and still behzti moves in BBC shows about sikhi and vaisakhi. If people were going to attack shastarvidiya, wouldn't have made sense to improve gatka instead and make it more effective? Additionally, the Nihang Singh presence has improved greatly now, and the cracks within the the SGPC and affiliated jatha jathebandis are showing more greatly as panth becomes more knowledgable with dasam bani and itihas day-by-day, so much gyaan which was lost within panjabi sikhs during colonial times. In the 2000s, the groups were able to talk down this bani and  gyaan by associating it with  RSS and hindus, brahminwaad etc. Not working so well now is it? However with gyaan it would be also good for us to try and preserve our martial arts and keertan vidiya as well! More and more crazy keertan videos are coming out from jatha members that are being made fun of and making sangat annoyed and upset, on tiktok and instagram reels.

Being from Punjab, almost every Sardaarji i know (amritdhari or not) sleeps/showers with their hair uncovered. I don't think Guru Sahib asked us to wear Dastar to sleep and I don't think it is in SRM.   The idea of "keski being worn to sleep" is cos in Bollywood films (Bachna Ae Haseeno) Sikh characters usually tie a gol parna when sleeping since the actor's usually Hindu. So they gotta cover his head somehow or he'd have cut hair. Same reason Diljit wore a pagg to bed in the El Sueno vid. Only time they didn't do that was in Gadar with Sunny Deol which just looked odd tbh   What in the world? What sikh or even a decent human would base their knowledge of their culture or religion on a movie industry, that too Bollywood?  Believe me, no sikh ever said, I must cover my head becasue an actor did so in a movie. I've been doing it all wrong, I must start covering mh head because the sikh in that movie did.  Just because every panjabi and sardaar you know, does something, also doesn't make it right..  Follow the guru. And if you have a medical condition, then exemptions can be made.  Just admit it, because of my medical condition, I am not able to follow this rehit. Why are you getting everyone else to drop to your level?
    • Wasn't Guru Arjan Dev's martyrdom on amd always commemorated on 6th June? How come it was 30th May?  Just like 6th June 84, where the likes of Terrorists like Indira Gandhi chose to attack Darbar Sahib where many many innocent Sikhs would suffer, as they went to commemorate Martyrdom of Maharaj.
