That Was Then (and Them), This Is Now (and Us)

Two hundred years ago, there was money to be made "harvesting" the teeth of the battlefield dead to be used to make dentures for the wealthy. We today think that barbaric and ghoulish.

Today, there is even more money to be made "harvesting" the vital organs of the roadway not-quite-dead to be transplanted into the bodies of the wealthy-by-world-standards, and then more money to be made by keeping those people on immune-suppressant drugs for the rest of their lives. And we think this civilized and humane.

Isn't that odd?

'Melo' vs Chow

As far as I'm concerned, 14 years old is old enough to face the death penalty for this sort of thing.

Concerning the recent SC case over which the black racists and their leftist puppet-master were freaking-out, wherein 'Rick' Chow was found not guilty of murder in killing the 14-year old black kid whom he said had pointed the gun he was carrying at Chow's son --
We *all* know that the illegally armed 14-year old black kid was trying to screw up his courage to commit armed robbery. in the end, he couldn't (yet) bring himself to do it, so he ran.

Now, certainly, if the Chow men had not pursued the felon-in-waiting, he wouldn't have died in 2023. Though, it is an open question whether he'd still be alive today; whether the realization of what he had attempted to do would have, on its own, "scared him straight", or whether he'd have doubled-down on criminality and gone on to murder some innocent.

Now, also consider this: Karmelo Anthony -- who, from the very start, was *obviously* guilty of murder -- was allowed his freedom, at a vastly reduced bail, in the year between the murder and the trial. On the other hand, 'Rick' Chow -- who had a credible claim of self-defense, and who eventually prevailed at trial -- was forced to rot in jail during the three years between the killing of the junior thug and the "not guilty" verdict.

Why is that? We *all* know why that is.

They're calling him 'Melo', but 'mellow' he was not

I wonder -- If some national news organization were to actively treat black-on-black murder not with a yawn, not as a mere local event of no wider significance, but were to report every single one, anywhere in the country, with the same intensity that "the media" treats even the most minor of the actually rare white-on-black crime, would the black racists who refuse to admit the truth about [any number of cases, not limited to the Karmelo Anthony murder case] *finally* shut the hell up about Muh Oppression?

There is currently so much black-on-black *murder* in this country, to say nothing of lesser crimes, that I expect one could run a 24-hour news channel devoted strictly to reporting on the murders and not lack for material to report.
