    Yup, those are the faces of finding out. What they did was monstrously evil, threatening to kill kids because they weren’t the white colour. I imagine he’s probably realizing as well that he’s going to be beaten a lot in jail for this. Given the incarceration rate of PoC being higher there’s going to be a welcome for him he’ll regret if they don’t immediately put him into solitary confinement. His life isn’t just ruined, he may very well die in prison.

    The woman has fully disassociated at this point, she’s just got the “going through the motions” look of someone who had the worst news of their life handed to them and don’t know how to process it.

      I read her very differently, but deciphering facial expressions never was my strong suit. To me her face looks indifferent to the situation.

        The fact that he will essentially now be forced to do that in order to survive prison really is an indictment of the system. How are people supposed to rehabilitate when not joining a gang is likely to get them killed?

        I’m not saying this guy is necessarily rehabilitatable, you have to have a particularly brainless mindset to even do this in the first place but in general it should be possible for people to improve in prison, otherwise what’s the point, we might as well go back to public punishment and executions, since that’s effectively what prison has now become. Minimum security prisons are probably closer to the ideal, but that’s obviously not an option for all inmates.
