Reputed gang member sentenced in shooting death of Aamir Griffin 

When the mother said she hasn’t slept for 5 years and she was tired,I felt that. 🙏🏻🙏🏻

That guy couldn't care LESS about that young boys life he took! No remorse whatsoever... only cares about himself smh....

30 years isn't enough time. He had no remorse on top of that. Life for a life. Life sentence would be justice.

Nah, he doesn't deserve a release date. Aamir didn't get a second chance so he doesn't serve one. Judge dropped the ball on this one.

Change that thumbnail🤦‍♂️it comes off as the woman pictured being the gang member

Put his ass in prison for life

He's killed a child 30 years in prison ain't gone be easy prisoner's don't like child killers

Prayers to this mom💐

Poor mother, her tears broke my heart. May God help her and her family. That punk should rot in hell where he belongs. 😥

Somehow these perp's think that by wearing eyeglasses, the Judge will show some sympathy.Nope!!! You are going away for a long time.Your swag ain't gonna work.

30 years for taken a life? What is wrong with us!

the judge was correct - he is part of a violent culture - we observe it everyday...

You can't talk logic to Demons

So young. Sorry this happened. That young man should still be here with his family

He knows exactly what he was doing when he shot that boy. The boy was targeted for having a bright future.

Poor kid. RIP.

Maybe I'm ignorant; but can anyone please tell me why do these gang members continue to fight each other, over what? They don't own the property where they live. Are they doing that well on the streets financially? I'm just trying to get a better understanding of why they do what they do. Does street credibility mean that much?

Unfortunately, in most cases you are only required to do half the time.

30yrs seems low. In TX or Florida you get life. Hell even California you get a gang member penalty

2019....why haven't been sentence..it takes 5 yrs to convict some one

Let him withdraw his guilty plea bargain in order to receive a jury trial that will sentence him to life without parole.

How does he not get LIFE when he took someone else’s ?

This should never have happened. Her grief put tears in my eyes.. My condolences to her and family 💐 😥

Queens New York City

THIS IS SO VERY SAD

Walking into court,like a superstar

Damn , judge really blew it . Wow .

Only 30 years??

Kinda sad they can't even tell eachother apart

The judge is a black man and he was not playing. He is older to and he looking at the man who killed the 14 year old I could have done the same thing but I did not.

30 years that's it smdh

Damn I know that man regrets the day he walked outside and made that decision sad he won’t see the real world until he’s old

Where's the gang now? He should admit to being guilty , a claffy and unconscionable!

Still waiting for the compassionate melanin that Nick Cannon promised. RIP.

Did Al Sharpton or BLM make a statement about this yet?

We are hunted every day. LBJ

My heart breaks for Aamir's mother and family. RIP Aamir 🕊❤✝

You better keep that deal. You’re 21…you’ll be out by 51. Stay in shape and get your mind right. You’ll be ok.

Good should got unalive 4 real. Some of these men are so evil. 😢 and trigger happy. This criminal get three meals a day in prison. Yet, this innocent baby is gone and never coming back. His mom cant RIP, cuz she know her child isnt. Now since this fool been convicted pray that mom can get sleep. ❤

14 years old, so sad

R.I.P.

Black on black crime is the elephant In the room

And they say it's the white man i should fear...you already know the fuggin rest!!

Stop giving these criminals lawyers! I know it's part of law, but this is getting ridiculous!

Ear ring? In jail?

This poor 14 year old CHILD could have lived to at least 84....so SEVENTY YEARS should have been the sentence! P.O.S. will be out in 20.....IT'S NEW YORK !

30 yrs for taking a kids life. Wow. Dude should be under the jail

How come taking a life you don’t lose your life in prison how is it that you get only 30 years? That means you’ll be free one day while the person that’s dead doesn’t get to come back in 30 years. Our justice system is whack.

Wow! My condolences to the family! ❤

30 years !!??!!!!!that judge should be ashamed!!!

Love that it was one of our lwn that handed down the sentence. Cant say nada about it. We all make choices. He coulda been the judge maybe had he made different choices,instead he's the one being sentenced. Dont make excuses yall, make excuse not to quit/settle instead. R.i.p

Should've gotten life without parole

I'm curious how does stalling a case work in his favor

Sorry for this family

My sincere condolences to this poor family for their loss and what they are going through

So i know its new york and all and ppl be stuck on the island for yrs to get a court date. But 4+ yrs for the family to deal with is fucking crazy

So sad

😢😢😢

So senseless smh

Oh he was 16 at the time of the crime I thought he was a grown man targeting kids they both was teenagers it extremely unfortunate but that's life when you grow up in the inner city I sit back and think how the hell I survived it in my youth

What hell was he thinking

Sad

Crazy situation

I'm going to say this, we in the BC, especially BM need to do better. We're turning the community into a battle ground. Do these males love our kids, our women or even themselves. Make it stop.

These dudes are embarrassments to our ancestors. Wasting everything they went through. Brothers like this are the real sellouts

The killer. Act like it was a waste of his time. Being in court. No remorse. Nor an apology to the family. 30 year's. The victim. 6ft in the ground. So. Tell me who won here?

Why doesn't he get the death penalty. What's the point of having him live in jail.

It’s always “was mistaken for a gang member” and never “He was a young gang member” smh

Make sure sentences are ran consecutive….

the judge was right to sentence that pos...but wrong to think that one day that pos will want to help another person...the pos is not a help to himself, his victim or his lawyer...

😢😢😢😢😢 this pure evil person needs to be in jail for the rest of his life

Condolences to Amir Griffin’s family.

Sorry for your loss griffin

He was captured for this one killing, but I’m pretty sure he’s killed others

Dude gonna get to live his life when he gets out and that baby is not on this earth anymore. That’s insane to me. And some desperate women will be there waiting when he gets released. Insane insane.

30 years isn’t the right sentence. It should’ve been an expedited death penalty. The victim was a child who never got to live his life.

Only 30 years?! What a shame!

He will serve time in prison because inmates can’t stand child killers

And he only got 30 years? He should be in there for life.

He’s coming into court like he’s a celebrity🤷‍♂️ this is what happens when you celebrate low standards of behavior!🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Too many grieving mothers

14?

Just 30 years?????

Rip to the young man

Old Mowgli got his just desserts.

Happen to my cousin , dude shot up her home they went to the wrong address 🤦🏿‍♂️

Just 30 years? He should have gotten life

Jesse Jackson, while running for president in 1988, said that the biggest threat to him, and any black citizen, was young black men. I voted for him in the Oklahoma Democrat primary because he understood what was happening, and wanted to make an actual difference. The people who are considered black leaders have led their own people to the worst point I've seen in more than 6 decades of living. Scott Adams wasn't an aberration. He is a lifetime liberal who, like me, spent his life pulling for equality for all, and pulling for American blacks especially to fully reach a good place in society. Like me, he can't believe how things unfurled. Unlike him, I haven't lost hope. I think it's time we do what El Salvador has done about their gang and violence problem. A lot of innocent people will be scooped up, but you know what? I don't care. The same part of nearly every large city is so violent that stores and businesses can't exist. If a place can't even have stores, put armed cops on every block, and let them do whatever it takes to restore order. If you can't safely walk to a store to get milk, you're a prisoner already.

30 years ain’t enough!!!!!

Why these dudes always wearing glasses before their sentencing.. u can’t see the crime u committed all of a sudden smh

30 yrs is all he gets for killing a little boy?

In fairness, dem homies all look alike.😂

He killed a child and you mean to tell me y'all would not give this man life? He had nothing to do with any of this bull crap. I'm so sorry.❤

I’ll never understand how “Gangsters” choose to do things that will take away their freedom. Sometimes I feel most of these dudes are on the DL since they are in such a rush to be surrounded by dudes 24/7.

I bet he won’t take any accountability for what he’s done. He will blame the system like many of them do

Not Real Justice Shouldn't have been a death penalty case.

Sad Sad Sad , No basketball for my son if I lived in a place like that .

Sentencing guidelines need to get harsher

🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 Good

Dumby. Should have gotten three life sentence. Not three decades
