OMG 😱 like what is up with this Qinxuan Pan dude?! He just kills someone and gets 35 yrs without parole? Like, that's not fair to his family or the victim πŸ€• I don't get why he did it in the first place... was it an accident? I mean, he did flee the scene πŸš—, but like, what was going through his mind?! 😳 And those forensic tests showing his DNA on the gun and ammo outside Arby's? That's just wild πŸ”ͺ So, like, 35 yrs is a looong time... I hope Pan spends it thinking about his actions and not hurting anyone else 🀞
 
man this whole thing just feels so messed up 🀯. i mean pan's gotta be one of the most careless ppl on the planet, ditching his SUV at arby's and leaving behind evidence that screams 'i'm guilty'. and his mom gets let off scot-free? what even is that? it's like the system failed them or something.

anyway, 35 yrs without parole for a crime he committed with his own hands? i just dont get it. it feels so harsh and unjust. forgiveness is one thing, but when someone takes another person's life, that's a whole different story. maybe we should be having a convo about the justice system here πŸ€”
 
πŸ€” This whole thing is just so messed up πŸš—πŸ’‰ I mean, Qinxuan Pan was rear-ended by Kevin Jiang's car but then killed him in a drive-by shooting... what even is that? 😱 It's like he just snapped πŸ’₯ And to make matters worse, he had his mom's DNA on the gun, but she wasn't charged because there wasn't enough evidence πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ Guess you could say the justice system was kinda flawed 🚫. Anyways, 35 years in prison is a long time for someone who didn't even have to take full responsibility... still can't wrap my head around it 😩
 
Ugh, can't believe this is real life 😩... 35 years without parole for someone who rear-ended another driver and then had the audacity to claim innocence? I mean, what's next? Forgetting you even hit that person in the first place and expecting everyone to just move on? 🀯 And the worst part is, his mom isn't even charged because she didn't know about it... but still, can't help feeling like she should've been held accountable somehow. Like, wasn't she supposed to teach her son right from wrong or something? πŸ™„ The system's broken, folks. Broken. 😑
 
This crazy case is giving me all the feels 😩 Qinxuan Pan thought he could just drive away with his son's lifeless body and get a slap on the wrist? 35 years in prison is the bare minimum for that kind of sick crime πŸš”πŸ’‰
 
πŸ€” I mean, can you believe it? A guy gets rear-ended at Arby's and then his own son kills him in a senseless crime πŸš—πŸ˜±? It's just not right. I remember when my dad used to take me to Arby's all the time back in the day πŸ©πŸ‘¦, and now that place is just a sad reminder of what went wrong here. 35 years without parole? That's a long sentence, man... feels like an eternity πŸ˜•. My heart goes out to Kevin Jiang's family, for sure... I wish they could've gotten justice sooner πŸ’”.
 
OMG, 35 yrs is way too harsh 🀯😱 I dont get why he just had to go and kill him tho πŸ˜” The family forgiving him already is a huge deal, shows how much they care about their son πŸ’• But 35 yrs without parole? That's just too much πŸ’€ Hope he gets some kind of therapy or counseling in there to help him with his mental health 🀝
 
πŸ€” I'm still trying to wrap my head around this case... 35 years without parole seems like a pretty harsh sentence, don't you think? 🚫 I mean, we all know that parents can be flawed and make mistakes, but it's just so hard to understand why Pan would take someone's life. πŸ˜• I feel bad for the victim's family, though - it's gotta be super tough to have to deal with all this. And what really gets me is how complex the whole forgiveness thing is... like, can you truly forgive someone who's taken your loved one away? πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ
 
omg, 35 yrs without parole is crazy 🀯 i mean, i can get why people r upset but forgiveness is such a personal thing... it's not like he was asking for it or anything πŸ’” i feel bad for hong huang tho, she didn't even get charged because of lack of evidence 😞 and the fact that her son did this to his own brother is just so heartbreaking ❀️ i wish there were more resources available for families affected by these kinds of crimes 🀝
 
man this is like such a tragic story πŸ€• qinxuan pan is gonna be stuck in prison for 35 years no wonder he didnt wanna turn himself in initially lol guess he was hoping to get away with it πŸ™…β€β™‚οΈ but seriously though its so sad kevin jiangs family has to live with the pain of losing their loved one and never get to see their son grow up or get married etc. poor guy his mom got a free pass tho πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ thanks to lack of evidence πŸ˜”
 
πŸ€” I'm still trying to wrap my head around this whole thing... 35 years without parole for Qinxuan Pan? It's just mind-boggling how far he went with that crime πŸš—πŸ’€. I mean, you'd think that rear-ending someone would be a huge enough mistake on its own, but nope, Pan had to go and kill the guy afterwards πŸ’”. And what really gets me is that his mom wasn't even charged despite being interviewed by police... it's like, why not hold anyone accountable? 😬 The justice system can be pretty messed up sometimes, you know? πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ
