(+) Yeah! (+)

Blonde white woman.

Yes it's tragic but dozens of murders happen every day

We probably shouldn't go down this talking point because it does ultimate minimize the fear and situation. The talking point from Dems should probably be that we should look into why someone with violent tendencies had been released so often rather than sounding overly defensive.

It's a white woman killed by a black man.

Perfect scenario for the right to continue spewing more racist bull shit.

My point isn't that there's nothing to do or learn about this, my point is that this isn't worth a week worth of front page headlines and the significance of it is being massively overblown.

Questioning the significance of any particular crime is a rabbit hole you don't want to get anywhere near. Instead it's probably better to focus on whichever issues this video has brought to light, such as why this violent guy has been released so much despite having 14 priors.

The problem people had was that he was arrested and released repeatedly.

And the judge that previously let him free dosen't have a law degree and was never a lawyer. And this has been a issue for a long time.

I don't know what his priors were, where they murders, assaults, or j-walking? I, like most people talking about this particular murder, don't have anything interesting to add to the discussion, and I think it's sus as hell that conservative outlets are parading it around like the biggest event of a generation.

Various things. Some as "minimum" as speeding and some as serious as armed assault and robbery.

He did serve jail time for some of those so I don't want to catastrophize and act as if cops just let him off scot free every time.

It's just one of those things where, if someone shows a continuous pattern of violent crime even after serving time in jail, what should we do?

There's probably another random murder that happens all the time that left leaning people would have made a big deal about for political reasons too. It's a shame this woman's brutal unnecessary murder is being turned into some political tribal war BS as usual

but I don't really know what else could have been done about this guy before he finally snapped and murdered someone.

In January 2025, Charlotte-Mecklenburg police arrested Brown for a third time for misusing 911.

The alleged misuse happened around 11:30 p.m. Officers on scene said in court filings that Brown believed he had been given a man-made material that controlled when he ate, walked, and talked.

Yes it's tragic but dozens of murders happen every day.

That sounds so sad to phrase it like that. I think minimizing the individual like this is what people do to excuse shitty behavior. "JK Rowling is a billionaire what does it matter if I buy one of her books?" "People die in America everyday why should I care about the middle east?" I think saying you don't care because of the scale of the world leads to those annoying "Actually, in the grand scheme of thing humans haven't been here long and we're an insignificant speck in the universe." OK? So nothing matters?
