KingCast says NH AG's office always lets cold-blooded killers of little people off easy. Remember Richard Labbe killing Thung Phetakoune?

By Christopher King

Oh, yah Labbe brutally killed Mr. Phetakoune, a Laotion, and told a police officer investigating the crime,

"[Referring to the Vietnam War] What's going on is that those Asians killed Americans and you won't do anything about it so I will."

The plea bargain down to manslaughter even dismissed the hate crime charge. This despite their own press release reads:

"It is alleged that Richard Labbe made disparaging remarks about Thung Phetakoune's race or national origin before and after Richard Labbe assaulted Thung Phetakoune."

So giving Floyd a hero's welcome for killing Liko Kenney, that's par for the course.
