@crmnallyobsessed: Alex Waggoner, 23, was sentenced to nearly 20 years in prison for the second-degree murder of rideshare driver Abdikadir Gedi Shariif, 31, in Edmonds, Washington. The shooting happened early on January 3, 2024, when Shariif's car nearly hit Waggoner in a crosswalk. Although Shariif stopped and tried to apologize, Waggoner responded by shooting him 11 times, killing him at the scene. Waggoner’s defense argued that he had been heavily influenced by YouTube videos promoting gun rights, self-defense, and paranoia, suggesting this contributed to his mindset and actions. They portrayed his behavior as a tragic outcome of online radicalization. However, Judge Richard Okrent firmly rejected that argument, saying no video justified shooting someone who was trying to apologize. He criticized Waggoner’s extreme response and emphasized personal responsibility, ultimately sentencing him to 235 months in prison. Waggoner apologized during the sentencing hearing. #truecrime #murder #judge

Less than 20 years? He would have had time to form intent to kill in the time he was firing the gun. Or even when grabbing the gun.

People will put forth any excuse no matter how ludicrous, to avoid holding a white man accountable for killing a black man.
