It's not so much he'd rather go to jail as niggers can't understand the concepts of past and future. Future consequences are something some other nigger will have to deal with, right now he's living in the present and has the opportunity to eat some chicken. And when he gets arrested, he dindu nuttin, because he only exists in the present and that was some other nigger robbing that guy.
It's impossible to overstate how much niggers are not like us and should not be in our nation.
