Bad situation for all.
Cicciaro was a drunken punk with a gang of other drunken punks who came looking for trouble in the form of another punk who they’s already kicked out of their party.
However, they were unarmed.
White, over-reacted by introducing firearms into a situation that probably would have resulted in a just a fist fight and at the worst a few emergency room stitches and ice packs.
White further proved to be a jerk by making claims of a KKK lynch mob and injecting the (way overused) race card into the mix as his defense.
In this case, the judge probably made the best verdict he could under the circumstances.
He was supposed to just let the teenagers (but old enough to be soldiers) beat him and his son up? Glad I live in Texas.
