“I wanna take a moment to remind those who know Kierin Dennis and those who do not that he was convicted of murder for defending himself against a group of football players when his car was surrounded in the cookout parking lot and he was dragged out of his car. He used his buck knife to defend himself and in the process he fatally stabbed one of his attackers. Apparently it's only okay to defend yourself if you are white. The justice system failed him. I went to school with Kierin. I had classes with him. He was a friend. And one of the smartest kids in our classes. He was always respectful, presented himself with integrity and outstanding mannerism, he excelled in his welding career, had never been in trouble and was a star on our football team. He will spend the next 30 years in prison for fighting for his life. PLEASE DON'T FORGET ABOUT HIM. My heart breaks for him everyday. #BLM #FuckTheSystem #DefendingYourselfWhileBlack #share #kimkardashianprisonreform #theinnocenceproject #IStandForYou

UPDATE: I am brought to tears by the amount of support for Kierin I've seen through shares. My hope is that this will blow up so big that it cannot be ignored and that someone who obtains the knowledge and connection needed to help Kierin will see this and WILL infact help him. We love you Kierin. Hang in there.”
