Judy Garland and Marilyn Monroe had deep admiration for each other. One night at a party, the same year she died, Marilyn Monroe asked Judy for help.
Judy explained in an interview:
“I knew Marilyn Monroe and loved her dearly. She asked me for help. Me! I didn’t know what to tell her. One night at a party at Clifton Webb’s house, Marilyn followed me from room to room. ‘I don’t want to get too far away from you,’ she said. ‘I’m scared.’ I told her, ‘We’re all scared. I’m scared too.’ ‘If we could just talk,’ she said, ‘I know you’d understand.’ I said, ‘Maybe I would. If you’re scared, call me and come on over. We’ll talk about it.’"
Marilyn was never able to take Judy up on that offer.

Karmelo Anthony has recieved more time (35 years) than George Zimmerman (no time), Daniel Penny (no time), Derek Chauvin (22.5 years), Amber Guyger (10 years) & Rick Chow (no time) COMBINED. This is unacceptable to any sane thinking, no racist person.
