Hey @TheView, i’m challenging you to bring me onto your show.
You spit nothing but falsehoods and misinformation in this entire clip. You might be “following this case now”. I’ve been reporting and investigating this case for over a year.
FACT CHECK: A “jury of your peers” does NOT mean the jurors have to be the same race as the defendant.
You confidently claimed that because there wasn��t someone the same color as the defendant on the jury, it wasn’t a jury of his peers. That is 100% false.
A jury of your peers means a jury selected from the community and judged by fellow citizens. It does NOT mean every juror has to match the defendant’s race, gender, religion, age, or background.
If that were true, every defendant would be entitled to a jury custom-built to mirror their demographics. That’s not how the legal system works.
The Constitution requires that juries be selected from a fair cross-section of the community. It does NOT require that the final jury contain members of any particular race.
The idea that people can only fairly judge someone if they share the same skin color is not only legally wrong, it’s an incredibly racist way of viewing the justice system.
Also, Karmelo was NOT 130 lbs. But clearly you don’t get your info from anything other than racist social media influencers instead of the documented FACTS.
And the AUDACITY to say “he was the only black kid under the tent”?! A large portion of the witnesses who were UNDER THE TENT who TESTIFIED AGAINST KARMELO were BLACK!
I am FLABBERGASTED by the outright lies you just spewed!
💥NEW: Stephen A. Smith: “I would give anything to be able to say something definitively in Karmelo Anthony’s defense. If there was a shred of innocence to the incident itself, I would say so. I don’t want to see another black young man going to jail.”
“But I don’t give a d*mn about what your race or ethnicity is. Just because you’re white and young doesn’t mean you deserve to be m*rdered. And just because you’re black and young … doesn’t give you a license to m*rder someone.”
“That’s what happened.”
@nypost Why do those of us who have never owned slaves and have never been slaves have to keep accepting this excuse for refusing to celebrate America?
I don’t bear responsibility for the actions of people who lived 160 years ago. Just no.
Voltaire passed away today in 1778.
There are two quotes of his I always come back to:
"I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."
and
“Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.”
Abby Phillip: "ICE raids are controversial, always have been, always will be."
Ben Ferguson: "Not really. When Obama was doing them, it wasn't controversial. You guys did ride-alongs."
Bill Maher asks how Mississippi is kicking California’s ass in education, and Texas is “blowing them away” in green energy for “way less money.”
“Did you know that a black fourth grader in Mississippi is two and a half times as likely to be proficient in math and reading as one in California? Mississippi is kicking our ass in education and for way less money. We’re 37th in fourth-grade reading, they’re ninth.”
“Texas is kicking our ass in green energy. The average time to get solar panels connected there is three to four months. About 1,000 days faster than it took me. Remember when I was trying to get my solar hooked up? It would have been quicker to build a windmill.”
“Texas has passed California in solar and blows away California when it comes to wind and energy storage. How does a state with no pro-climate policies produce better climate results than a state where here, even though we have so much better bumper stickers on our Priuses?”
“I’ll tell you why. Because you’re allowed to build there because every third person in Texas isn’t someone whose job it is to make sure nothing gets done.”
“Democrats, these are your issues: education, race, the environment.”
“And I say this with love: you’re losing to the Waffle House, car-on-the-lawn states.”
@washingtonpost Left liberals have no common sense. They prefer we host our White House parties outdoors and in tents. It impossible to be dumber than a left liberal.
Larry Ellison just asked the one question no journalist on Earth can answer.
A Wall Street Journal writer told Ellison to his face that Elon Musk doesn’t know what he’s doing.
Ellison didn’t argue. Didn’t get emotional. He just asked a question.
Ellison: “This guy is landing rockets on robot drone rafts in the ocean, and you’re saying he doesn’t know what he’s doing. You ever land a rocket?”
One question. No recovery.
Ellison: “Who are you? Why should I believe you as opposed to my friend Elon?”
This is the question the entire media class has been dodging for a decade. Who are you to judge? What have you built? What have you shipped? What problem have you solved that didn’t involve a keyboard and a deadline?
Ellison: “You’re there in front of your Apple Macintosh typing up an article saying Elon’s an idiot.”
They sit behind a laptop they did not engineer. Using a network they did not build. Running on silicon they cannot explain. To tell the world that the man sending humans to space doesn’t know what he’s doing.
They have never built anything heavier than a Word document.
And they publish it with absolute certainty.
That’s the part that should disturb you. Not the criticism. The confidence behind it. The total absence of self-awareness it takes to judge disciplines you wouldn’t last a single semester in.
Musk does not operate in opinion. He operates in the physical layer of the universe where the math closes or the rocket does not come home.
His critics operate in a text editor.
He built the vehicle that carries NASA astronauts to the International Space Station. The satellite constellation delivering internet to active war zones. The EV that forced every automaker on Earth to abandon their combustion roadmap.
His loudest critics built a byline.
So why the coordinated hatred?
Because they lost the leash.
The attacks didn’t escalate because Musk got worse at engineering. They escalated because he bought X. He cracked open the algorithm. He handed the public square back to the people. And he shattered their ability to control what you’re allowed to think.
They don’t hate the engineer.
They hate that the engineer took their monopoly.
You cannot cancel a rocket. You cannot publish a hit piece on gravity. You cannot edit the laws of physics.
They own the syntax.
He owns the physics.
One of them is going to Mars.
Ricky Gervais on 60 Minutes Makes a Crystal-Clear Case for Free Speech
He put it perfectly: the great thing about freedom of speech is that I can say what I want, and you can say you're offended, and I get to decide whether I care or not.
Because let's be honest, there's nothing you can say that someone, somewhere won't find offensive.
That's why blasphemy laws are so absurd, they're basically trying to protect an all-powerful deity from having its feelings hurt.
At the end of the day, we should be free to criticise any idea.
Just because you're offended doesn't automatically mean you're right.
Spot on, Ricky. Free speech isn't about never upsetting anyone, it's about the right to speak anyway.
Border Czar Tom Homan puts Senator Cory Booker ON BLAST after his anti-ICE meltdown — calling him out directly.
“He’s misleading the American people, he’s lying!”
HOMAN: “I want him to me one example, just one, when ICE went into a church to arrest somebody, or we went into a hospital to arrest somebody, or we went a elementary school to arrest somebody.”
“Just give me one example!”
“You know why? He can’t because there isn’t any!”
“I think there was one case nationwide in the past year where we were in hot pursuit chasing an illegal alien who ran into an education center.”
“You’re damn right we went if there and arrested him near the front door.”
“But as far as planned enforcement operations in those places, hasn’t happened.”
“As a matter of fact, the only people that violated the sanctuary of church was Don Lemon and that group that went in there to attack Trump supporters, while they were having a religious service.”
“So he’s misleading the American people, and that is part of the hatred toward ICE agents that’s driving the violence.”
“You mentioned before 8,000% increase in threats.”
“Because of things that people say like that that are untrue, it causes the hate to rise which is, of course, going to end with more violence, more bloodshed.”
