Karen Read's taillights are LED, so when the red lens is broken, it still appears red- except where diffusers are broken/damaged. Diffusers=the hard, clear pieces with tiny bubbles inside (yellow arrow in image 1) And that's why her broken TL appears to have the "blank" space 🧵
@jlbcalhoun@Nickyhaircuts That makes perfect sense! (not based on the evidence, but for anyone who wants to believe she was framed, and worked backwards from their conclusion to force the narrative to fit).
@avivafashion11 When they call to confirm my 10:00 appt and then ask me to show up 15-30 minutes early, I let them know if I wanted a 9:30, and if I could be there at 9:30, I would've scheduled it for 9:30. "See you at 10, unless you prefer I reschedule?"
@T_A_Activist@ja78519@BraedenSorbo@MINTemplePetrus A prior threat doesn't automatically make a later stabbing self-defense. The legal question is whether deadly force was reasonably necessary at that moment (and the law says it was not), not whether Austin ignored a warning.
@KirkMonJohnGal@KathleenWinche3 So I'm curious... are you opposed to the makeup itself, or only to the extent that it creates a false advertising situation?
@RoshanJimmy1@itsme_urstruly Partly. I've seen examples both ways. People raised w healthy self-esteem later had their confidence hurt by experiences, and people raised w low self-esteem built confidence over time. That's why I don’t think current posture/demeanor necessarily reveals how they were raised.
@RoshanJimmy1@itsme_urstruly That'd be ideal- many abuse victims begin the relationship w healthy self-esteem, then eventually recognize manipulation, yet still find themselves pulled back into the cycle repeatedly. Spotting and escaping it aren’t always the same-neither are determined by self-esteem alone.
@RoshanJimmy1@itsme_urstruly Experience, self-esteem, & manipulation detection are related, but not interchangeable. Having high self-esteem, or even high IQ doesn't create immunity to being manipulated. The most successful manipulators are effective precisely because they don't appear manipulative at first.
@stats_feed On long road trips, a big, insulated cup like this- full of ice, and a few bottles of water- So I can refill my Brita water bottle on the go/while driving- without having to stop so often. And on occasional stops, slide the lid, drain the melted ice, or fill it up with new ice.
🚨Justice for Austin Metcalf! The Karmelo Anthony Trial Starts TODAY.🚨
One of Karmelo’s supporters has already threatened to be at the courthouse in a secret sniper position, ready to shoot Austin Metcalf’s family or supporters if they confront Karmelo’s family.
Karmelo Anthony is charged with first-degree murder for fatally stabbing 17-year-old Austin Metcalf in the chest over a seating dispute at a Frisco, Texas school track meet. Anthony claims self-defense, but those familiar with the evidence see it very differently.
Frisco ISD protected Karmelo at every turn: they refused to expel him after he brought a knife to a school event and killed another student. They even allowed him to graduate. His prior disciplinary record — including multiple fights and bringing knives to school — was hidden from the public.
The black community rallied hard behind Karmelo. They raised over $500,000 for his defense, called him a hero, and sold T-shirts with his face on them.
Meanwhile, Austin’s family has been put through absolute hell: edited memes of their dead son, death threats against his twin brother Hunter, relentless harassment, lies spread about them, and over a dozen swatting incidents.
Enough is enough.
Today the trial begins. It’s time for real justice for Austin Metcalf and his family.
Pray for truth in the courtroom. Austin deserves accountability. His family deserves peace.

@NatCon2022 Wow “The state does not dispute that the teen had a 9 mm pistol with a laser on him that night, but argues he had no intention of using it.” https://t.co/zjRhELFKrP
@RoshanJimmy1@itsme_urstruly Self-esteem can def affect how long someone stays once they recognize abuse. But it doesn't necessarily determine how quickly they're able to identify it. Manipulators can be quite effective, and victims often don't realize it until they're already invested.
@RoshanJimmy1@itsme_urstruly Sometimes, yes. Also, some people are raised with low self esteem, but later learn confidence and hold their head high. And vice versa- some are raised with high self esteem, but an abusive partner later impact their posture/confidence.
Austin Metcalf Update
Austin was stabbed to death under his track team's tent by a student on another team.
The stabber was:
Karmelo Anthony
Karmelo admitted he stabbed Austin but says it was self defense. The only issue is, witnesses and his post event actions say otherwise.
Trial begins June 1.
Will be tracking this one closely.
Recall about $600k was raised for Karmelo's defense, but a new house, expensive car, and spokes people ate up a lot of the donations, per reports.
Austin did not deserve to die.
We shall see what a jury has to say.

@TheeIslanddd@Nathan2363491@Aku_700 So are you saying that stabbing someone to death is a justifiable response to not getting your way? The law disagrees.
