A Black manager at a Dunkin in Florida who fatally punched an elderly, white customer who called him the N-word will not spend any time behind bars, and instead will serve two years of house arrest as part of his guilty plea.

Frustrated with the service at one of the donut stores Tampa locations, Vonelle Cook, 77, marched into the store and berated the manager, calling him the N-word, police said.

The manager, 27-year-old Corey Pujols, who is Black, asked Cook not to say it again.
When Cook decided to call him the N-word a second time, Pujols hit him in the jaw. The older man became unconscious, falling backwards and hitting his head on the floor. He was dead three days later, according to Fox13.
Pujols had originally been charged with aggravated manslaughter following the May 5, 2021 incident.

Prosecutors accepted a plea deal from the donut shop manager, who agreed to change his plea to guilty for a lesser charge of felony battery in exchange for a more lenient sentence.

On Monday a judge decided Pujols would serve two years of house arrest, complete 200 hours of community service and attend an anger management course.

This. Anger management and doing some community service will be much beneficial to this guy and the community than throwing him in jail.

I'm sorry, but he fucking killed him. Sure the old man was a racist bastard, but he killed him and instead of being charged with aggravated manslaughter, he gets house arrest which is basically a slap on the wrist.

Yeah, the guy was a racist asshole and had it coming, but it's not like he had to punch the guy. Anger management will probably do him some good, so he can make another choice next time. You can't go around punching everyone that's an asshole.

On one hand you to hate to see anyone cave to violent impulses, but on the other hand, racism itself being submission to a deplorable impulse, its hard to blame the guy.

I think it's a fair judgment. The guy isn't getting off scott free, and as said, the anger management course is probably better for him than just being in jail.

He definitely needs to better control his temper, though. You can't just go around punching people in the face for pissing you off, racist asshole or not. The other guy ending up dead could've ruined his life.

People here are literally rationalizing murder. Yes it's doubtful that he meant to kill him, but the guy still died. He should be in prison. Stand your ground only applies to being in danger of physical violence, not someone using a racial slur.

Punching him to death was a bit of an over reaction.

That's not what stand your ground means. If the old guy would've even touched him with a finger, he could hit him, or even shoot him.
If his actions were covered under stand your ground, he wouldn't even be charged.
Just because someone calls you a name, you can't physically assault them.

I can't say that I condone punching a 70+ year old man. But I'm not exactly heartbroken that the striker isn't going to prison over hitting a man who repeated a racial slur after being told not to.

Just remember -- if you're provoked to violence and you're incomparably stronger than your opponent: slap, don't punch. That's how you cause death or permanent injury.

Fixed, and I agree. Mostly. Have a real hard time caring about what happens to racists.

Definition of murder includes premeditated and this definitely wasn't. He was also approached and verbally assaulted and it is in Florida which is part of stand your ground.

Here is the actual law for anyone interested in educating themselves.
Stand your ground DOES NOT apply to being called names. They must be threatening.

In other words. You do not have freedom of hands when being called racial slurs.

Fair next for the verdict.

He likely did not intend to kill, was provoked and by racist scum at that.

It was not premeditated. It was a provoked crime with a harsher then intended outcome.
