The news about the American man sought after sending a horrific Facebook message admitting to raping a college student and finally being detained in France on a 2021 warrant has left me speechless. How could someone commit such a heinous act, send a message about it years later, and then think they could evade justice by fleeing to another country? It’s appalling to think that this individual, who allegedly committed such a horrific crime, could have been walking around freely for so long.
Reading about the victim’s persistence in seeking justice over the years, collecting evidence, and urging officials to file charges after discovering the incriminating Facebook messages is both heartbreaking and inspiring.… Continue reading
I can’t help but shake my head at the absurdity of the situation. A woman charged in a drunk driving crash that resulted in the deaths of two innocent children posting a $1.5 million bond is just mind-boggling. The fact that her attorney argued she only had a single glass of wine before the incident is hardly a valid excuse. How can a search warrant revealing her alcohol consumption trump a legitimate blood alcohol test? It seems like a feeble attempt to downplay the severity of her actions.
The defense attorney’s claim that Chidester drove to the boat club because she had been invited to the birthday party she later crashed into is equally troubling.… Continue reading
I recently came across a story about a millionaire who decided to conduct an experiment to prove that anyone could earn $1 million in a year, even starting from scratch. The twist? He intentionally became poor for this experiment. However, things didn’t quite go as planned, as he ended up failing at the 10-month mark with only $64,000 to show for it. At first glance, one might think that $64k is a respectable amount, but delving deeper into the circumstances surrounding his experiment reveals a different story altogether.
It’s important to note that this individual was not truly experiencing homelessness in the same way that many people do.… Continue reading
In today’s society, the lines between justice and privilege have never been more blurred. The recent news of Jonathan Majors being sentenced to probation but no prison time for assaulting his ex-girlfriend has ignited a firestorm of controversy and debate. As a fan of his work and a follower of the entertainment industry, I can’t help but feel conflicted by the outcome of this case.
It’s disheartening to witness a talented actor like Majors potentially being let off the hook for a serious offense simply because of his fame and wealth. The fact that he was involved in a physical altercation with his ex-girlfriend should not be taken lightly, regardless of the circumstances surrounding the incident.… Continue reading
Trump loves to play the victim — NY appeals court bailout shows he’s the most coddled person alive
In a world where justice is supposed to be blind, it seems that some people are above the law. The recent decision by a New York appeals court to lower Donald Trump’s bond amount and extend the deadline is a clear example of the privilege and coddling that the rich and powerful receive in our society. As I reflect on this case, it becomes evident that Trump’s whole life has been defined by special treatment and an unearned sense of entitlement.
It astonishes me how Trump consistently portrays himself as a victim of persecution, all the while evading accountability for his long list of transgressions.… Continue reading
As I read about the Missouri governor commuting the prison sentence for the ex-Kansas City Chiefs coach who seriously injured a child in a drunken-driving wreck, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of outrage and disbelief. The fact that this individual, who had a history of violent and impulsive behavior, was given such special treatment is truly disgusting. It raises serious questions about the integrity of our justice system and reaffirms the belief that there are indeed two separate systems of justice in this country.
The details of the case are disturbing – the coach was driving at a high speed while drunk, causing a traumatic brain injury to a young child and injuring several others.… Continue reading
