Nope.

Karmelo Anthony's family has raised over $625,000 in their GiveSendGo fundraiser, which one can only assume has all been spent on cars, shopping sprees, their new house, etc., as Karmelo himself is being represented at trial by a Public Defender.

And that Public Defender got him an all-white jury. In a small, rural county in Texas which was only 51% white in the 2020 census.

There is a part of me which actually wonders if that alone isn't a strategy, setting Karmelo up for a post-conviction appeal based on ineffective counsel.

I did not. The perp and the victim were both white, so no risk of mostly peaceful protests there.

yeah but it was an insane obvious cover-up from the police. was crazy to watch.

basically a cop got jealous and murdered another cop and they covered it up and tried to blame the girlfriend. they even googled about how to cover up a murder...

I really don't have the free time or mental energy to devote to soap-opera justice anymore. If it's something which has the potential to directly affect my life, then I pay attention.

Mostly peaceful protests in Chicago directly affect my life. The Trump administration transferring billions of taxpayer dollars to Israel and to financial services firms owned by his family and the family of Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick while also overseeing the largest ever increase in deficit spending directly affects my life.

A lovers' quarrel in Massachusetts does not affect my life.

Meanwhile, Decarlos Brown Jr. has just been found not competent to stand trial for the murder of Iryna Zarutska.

I have never understood that law. If they are mentally incapable of understanding, then they won't understand dying. Should be an automatic death sentence.

This lawyer and elected Representative also doesn't understand the law.




If the blade is too small, he didn't do it at all!

I am truly starting to wonder if the dystopian future depicted in the movie Idiocracy might actually be the optimistic version.

Because it implies that western civilization actually survives long enough to make it to that point.

If the US and Europe continue unabated on their present trajectory, these creatures are going to destroy everything.

Even President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho knew he wasn’t the smartest person in the room, and while being functionally retarded, actually tried to solve real problems rather than create them.
