So Jordan Neely's killer turned himself in. Will be charged with 2nd degree...

Footage of a white white man outright killing a black man in cold blood and the justice system refuses to throw the book at him. Our artists are under threat and another schoolroom bully needed to act out his high-school years this time with deadly consequences.
