Susan Brown never should have been arrested in the first place. The fact that she has spent so long being unable to hold her own children is nightmarish. She saved her life and her unborn child’s.

This country doesn’t take domestic violence against women seriously and in particular Black women are neglected and unprotected. People who do far worse than her see less time. The intentional inequities in our justice system are pervasive. This is a probable fact. Free this woman!

It’s very important that the justice system starts delicately handling situations involving women being assaulted and defending themselves from their attackers. We’re done getting abused and cowering in fear. The law needs to change or start being applied fairly in these cases. We’re sick of being battered and abused and our abusers get no time to very little time not even worthy of their crime(s).

Women and Black women in particular are far too often victims of intimate partner violence. Continuing to incarcerate is continued violence.

No one that defend themselves against an abuser should be punished for the act. Mental health should be given freely to them as a victim of our societies misgivings.

I'm so tired of seeing women pay the price for men. Let her go. She killed in self defense, not in a bout of anger, not as a premeditated murder, but SELF DEFENSE. Why is she serving any time at all, considering what she had already been through? Release Susan Brown!!!

She was acting in self defense. She is a victim of domestic violence. She deserves better

SELF DEFENSE is not a crime.
This is a cruel travesty of justice.
