Horrific

The extent of the horror that Black home invader and murderer Ronald Exantus visited upon a White family in Kentucky is overlooked in most coverage. The ongoing injustice to the family is grossly understated.
Exantus didn't only slaughter White 6-year-old Logan Tipton, stabbing Logan to death in Logan's own bedroom, he also attempted to murder three of Logan's siblings and Logan's father - stabbing a total of 5 family members.
Here's exactly how that horrific December night unfolded at the Tipton's home in Kentucky:
~ Ronald Exantus enters the Tipton home around 4AM, carrying a large kitchen knife
~ Exantus enters the bedroom of 6-year-old Logan and his 4-year-old brother
~ Exantus pulls Logan off of the top bunk bed and quite literally slaughters him, stabbing him in the head and neck dozens upon dozens of times, violently killing him in the bloodiest possible fashion
~ Exantus then stabs Logan's 4-year-old brother in the head multiple times (but the boy survives)
~ Exantus then enters the bedroom where Logan's 8 and 11-year-old sisters are sleeping
~ Exantus stabs the 11-year-old girl multiple times in the head and torso and throws her across the room (she survives)
~ Exantus stabs the 8-year-old girl multiple times in the head and neck (she survives)
~ The commotion awakens Logan's 13-year-old sister, who comes upon the nightmarish scene and screams
~ The girl's scream wake Logan's father, who comes to his family's aid, fights Exantus unarmed, is stabbed multiple times, but successfully forces Exantus out of the home
When the case goes to trial, Exantus is found NOT GUILTY by reason of insanity for the savage murder of 6-year-old Logan Tipton. He's found "guilty but mentally ill" for the following:
~ Criminal Attempt To Commit Murder (for stabbing the three other children)
~ First Degree Assault (for stabbing the three other children)
~ First Degree Burglary (first degree because of inflicted injuries)
Ronald Exantus was sentenced to 20 years in the Kentucky Department of Corrections.
Not one single day of that sentence was for what he did to 6-year-old Logan Tipton. He will never suffer any legal consequences specifically for what he did to Logan.
Fast-forward to October 1 of this year, and Ronald Exantus was released early for "good behavior" after serving less than half of his sentence.
He immediately relocated to Florida, was arrested a week later for failing to register as a convicted felon, and has been returned to prison in Kentucky for this parole violation.
And, after all of this, guess what?
He's scheduled to be fully released in June of 2026. No parole. No nothing. A 100% free man.
In six months, this literal monster will be just as free as you or me - more free than every surviving member of Logan's family, who've lived in a mental prison ever since, and now must live in a world where the criminal psychopath who tried to kill them all is being set loose back upon society without restriction.
A murdered 6-year-old.
Attempted murder of a 4, 8, and 11-year-old.
Attempted murder of their father.
A bloodbath crime scene for the ages.
And the man who did it walks free 10 years later.
I lack the vocabulary to convey how evil this system is.
