How Much Did Her Life Matter?

Posted on 1 Comment

 

Tessa Majors made the mistake of attending Barnard College.

If your child ever expresses an interest in attending Barnard College, you probably should have them committed to a psychiatric institution, because you’d have to be crazy to go to Barnard, one of the worst colleges in America. The cost of attendance is $75,524 a year, including room and board, and also including the opportunity to be murdered.

That’s what happened to Tessa Majors. The 18-year-old, whose father is an English professor at James Madison University, was near the end of her first semester at Barnard in December 2019 when she made the mistake of going for a walk in a park near the college campus:

The teens charged with killing Barnard College freshman Tessa Majors targeted her as she walked alone down a set of stairs in a crime-ridden Harlem park, one of them told detectives in a video recording played in court [Dec. 20].
Zyairr Davis, 13, admitted that he was walking behind pals Rashaun Weaver and Luchiano Lewis, both 14, when they approached her on Dec. 11, the recording made the next day showed.
Davis said he “couldn’t hear too good what they said to her,” but thought that Weaver “was trying to get her phone.”
“She was probably refusing to give it to them, so they got mad at her,” he said.
Davis’ vivid blow-by-blow of the fatal violence included how, “I think Luchi grabbed her, like this” as he crossed his own arms.
“She’s trying to run away. She’s screaming,” he recalled to cops in the 26th Precinct stationhouse.
“The only thing I remember is her yelling for help.”
Davis added, “That’s when Rashaun stabbed her.”
“It ain’t look like poking. It was like — slash.”
Davis also described the suddenness and ferocity of the attack on Majors, 18, a musician and aspiring journalist from Charlottesville, Virginia.
“I didn’t see him take the knife out, but I see all the feathers coming out of her coat,” he said.

Don’t send your kids to Barnard, because it’s in New York City, where you can’t take a walk in the park without being knifed to death.

Guess how much time Zyairr Davis will serve?

A teenager involved in the fatal stabbing of Barnard student Tessa Majors in New York last December was sentenced to 18 months in the custody of the Administration for Children’s Services on Monday.
The now-14-year-old boy, whom CNN is not naming because he was not charged as an adult, has been in custody since December and pleaded guilty to first-degree robbery earlier this month.
He will serve a minimum of six months in a limited secure facility, according to the New York Law Department, which is handling the case. After that, ACS has the discretion to release him and monitor his progress in the community, and his placement may be extended until he turns 18, the department said. . . .
At his plea hearing, the teen told the court he went into Morningside Park with two friends, Rashaun Weaver and Lucci Lewis, intending to rob someone.
“After that, we saw Tessa Majors walking on the stairs inside the park. Rashaun went up to her and said something to her and Tessa yelled for help. Rashaun used the knife that I had handed to him to stab Tessa and I saw feathers coming out of her coat,” he said. . . .
In their impact statement, Majors’ parents said the teen “has shown a complete lack of remorse or contrition” for his role in their daughter’s death. The family also noted that the statement from Legal Aid avoided using the word “murder” and instead referred to Tessa’s death as “tragic.”
“Reading this description of events, some might wonder if perhaps Tess Majors was involved in an accident,” the statement read. “Tess Majors did not die in an accident. Tess Majors was murdered, plain and simple, and no amount of semantic gymnastics changes that fact.”

But it’s New York City. Your daughter’s life doesn’t matter there. Just more violence against women feminists won’t notice, for some reason.




 

Men Accused of Raping 11-Year-Old Girls, But Don’t Expect Feminists to Notice

Posted on 1 Comment

 

These cases don’t fit the “intersectional” narrative:

Two Montgomery County Public School students — ages 20 and 19 — were recently arrested at their respective high schools, on allegations they raped different 11-year-old girls at apartments located off-campus.
Jonathan Coreas-Salamanca, 20, and Ivan Reyes Lopez, 19, are each charged with second-degree rape. Coreas-Salamanca has additional counts of sexual abuse of a minor and third-degree sexual offense.
According to law enforcement sources, police arrested Coreas-Salamanca on February 13, at Montgomery Blair High School in Silver Spring, where he is enrolled as a student. Six days later, on February 19, police arrested Lopez at Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School where he is enrolled as a student.
Coreas-Salamanca is accused of providing an 11-year-old girl with a cell phone sometime last year. He allegedly used that device to exchange explicit text messages and photographs with the girl, plus arrange sexual meetups.
On Christmas Eve, the victim’s father came across the phone and was stunned to find scores of text messages describing “vaginal intercourse, fellatio, and cunnilingus.”
“[The victim’s father] described a text message where Suspect Coreas-Salamanca advised Victim A that she bit his penis the last time she performed fellatio,” court documents state. “Suspect Coreas-Salamanca’s purpose in sending the text message was to teach Victim A how to better perform fellatio.”
The victim’s father immediately called the police. Patrol officers seized the phone and submitted it to the department’s Electronic Crime Unit for forensic analysis.
Lopez is accused of luring a different 11-year-old girl from a park near the Rollingwood Apartments in Silver Spring to his family’s apartment. The 19-year-old reportedly told the girl to sit down on a bed. He then turned on Netflix before raping her, the victim would later tell detectives.
Speaking through a Spanish translator, Lopez explained to investigators that he led the victim by hand to his bedroom where the two had “consensual vaginal intercourse,” court documents state.

How nice of the police to provide a Spanish translator so that the 19-year-old could explain how he had consensual sex with an 11-year-old. And this raises the question, of course, about why a Maryland high school student requires a translator. This is explained:

According to court documents, Coreas-Salamanca had been living along the 7700 block of 25th Avenue in Adelphi, Md. According to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the Salvadoran national is living in the U.S. illegally. The federal law enforcement agency has filed an immigration detainer with the Montgomery County Department of Correction and Rehabilitation.
Court documents state Lopez emigrated from Honduras nearly three years ago. He had been living in an apartment with his uncle along the 8800 block of Lanier Drive in Silver Spring.

The fact that these adult men, one from El Salvador and the other from Honduras, were attending Maryland high schools raised questions:

In light of the criminal charges brought against Coreas-Salamanca and Lopez, 7 On Your Side contacted Montgomery County Public Schools Monday and asked how many 19, 20, and 21-year-old students are currently enrolled.
A spokeswoman replied, questioning the relevancy of that information. As of this story’s publication, MCPS had not provided those statistics, which 7 On Your Side believes is a matter of public record.
“There is no data suggesting that being a high school student at 19, 20, or 21 makes a person more or less likely to commit a crime,” spokeswoman Gboyinde Onijala wrote in an email to 7 On Your Side. “Any suggestion otherwise is wrong and trying to make a connection there to students enrolled in our district is wrong.” . . .
Early Thursday, MCPS responded to 7 On Your Side’s Maryland Public Information Act request. As of February 1, 2020, the school system had 1,282 students between the ages of 19-21. That accounts for around .77 percent of the approximately 166,000 students currently enrolled in MCPS.

19-year-old students: 797
20-year-old students: 388
21-year-old students: 97

Many parents expressed surprise and outrage this week upon learning that 20 and 21 year olds are allowed to attend school with minors as young as 14.

You can read the whole thing. Recall that Brock Turner was an 18-year-old freshman at Stanford University when he got drunk at a frat party (his blood alcohol was 0.16, twice the legal limit for driving) and molested a drunk 22-year-old woman (whose blood alcohol was 0.24, three times the limit). Feminists nationwide raised an outcry when a judge sentenced Turner, a national champion swimmer, to only six months in jail. This leniency, feminists insisted, was proof of patriarchy, “white privilege,” “rape culture,” etc. Have any of the feminists who demanded harsh punishment for Brock Turner taken notice of these adult men — both of them older than Turner was at the time of his crime — who raped 11-year-old girls in Maryland? No, of course they haven’t, because . . .

Well, “intersectionality.” Oh, and don’t forget the 11-year-old girl in Missouri who gave birth to a baby boy, and the father turned out be her own brother, Norvin Leonidas Lopez-Cante. “Diversity is our strength.”

How’s That ‘Bail Reform’ Working Out?

Posted on 1 Comment

 

A woman is dead in New York state:

The 25-year-old man accused of fatally stabbing a library security officer to death had been released without bail after being accused of trying to rape a woman at Montefiore Nyack Hospital in November, authorities and court documents confirmed Thursday.
Blanchard Glaudin had been charged by Orangetown police under the name of Gaudin Blanchard, as he apparently goes under several names, according to police and court records.
He also was arrested in Florida in 2014 on a misdemeanor trespassing charge as Blanchard Carter Glaudin, according to the Nyack Justice Court.
Spring Valley Police Detective Kevin Freeman filed a felony complaint against him under the name Blanchard Glaudin in the stabbing death of security officer Sandra Wilson at 2:05 p.m. Tuesday at Finkelstein Memorial Library. He was charged with second-degree murder.
Orangetown police had charged him as Gaudin Blanchard with attempting to rape a woman at the hospital where he was an inpatient on Nov. 9 at 12:30 p.m., Capt. James Brown said in an email Thursday.
An Orangetown police report filed with Nyack Justice Court states he “entered the hospital room of the victim, held her by the throat, bit her neck and told her to, ‘Shut up and do not scream.’ Pull down your pants. I don’t care about your blood.'”
The woman fought off his attack until hospital staff intervened, the report states. . . .
He was held as Gaudin Blanchard in the county jail from Dec. 20 until Dec. 26, when a County Court judge released him, Sheriff Louis Falco said.
Falco said he doesn’t know who the judge was or the conditions under which the suspect was released.
The sheriff is a vocal opponent of the bail reforms as approved, taking away the discretion of judges and setting release without bail for some violent felonies.
Erin George, director of Citizen Action for the Civil Rights Campaign, called Wilson’s death heartbreaking, “but it is unquestionably not the result of bail reform.”
“The accused individual was released in December 2019 on charges that remain bail and jail eligible under the new law,” she said. “Furthermore, he could have been ordered to remain in a hospital for evaluation, as he reportedly was experiencing mental health issues.”

“Social justice” is a threat to public safety, but this is just another case of violence against women feminists won’t notice, for some reason . . .

The transgender agenda marches on:

On April 1 of last year, 29-year-old Janiah Monroe was transferred from Pontiac Correctional Center, a prison for men, to women’s prison Logan Correctional Center after the MacArthur Justice Center (MJC) and the Uptown People’s Law Center (UPLC) filed a lawsuit against the Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC) on his behalf.
Named Andre Patterson before he began identifying as a woman, Mr Monroe’s criminal record includes convictions for second-degree murder, attempted murder, aggravated battery and attempted aggravated arson. At age 17, Mr Monroe argued with his male jail cellmate, 31-year-old Kimani Muhammad, and strangled him to death. At the time of the homicide, Mr Monroe was being held on suspicion of aggravated battery with a firearm after shooting two people outside a barber shop.
Two months after the transfer to Logan, Mr Logan was placed in a housing unit with a woman whom he immediately began “express(ing) an interest” in. According to the lawsuit, the woman was terrified of Mr Monroe due to his much greater size and strength. Mr Monroe raped her that same day, she said.
Following the incident, the woman was moved into the prison’s Health Care Unit and interviewed by internal affairs officers. Todd Sexton, a supervisory officer, told her he did not believe her and coerced her into providing a statement in which she retracted the rape allegation, she said. She was then subjected to months of punishment by the IDOC for filing a false complaint under the Prison Rape Elimination Act.

The victim has filed a federal lawsuit against prison officials.

Florida man strikes again:

A Clearwater amateur boxer who is already facing a rape charge in connection with an incident last year has been charged with another rape — one that occurred inside a gym, arrest reports state.
William Walden, 34, was initially arrested [Jan. 27] in connection with a rape that occurred on Sept. 10 in the 700 block of N Saturn Avenue in Clearwater.
On Thursday, detectives lodged a second rape charge against him — this for an incident that occurred [Jan. 26], just a day before his arrest in the first case — at a gym in the 1700 block of N. Hercules Avenue, arrest reports state.
The reports state that a victim came to the gym for a pre-arranged meeting. Walden choked her until she lost consciousness, hit her in the head multiple times and knocked out one of her teeth. He dragged her to a secluded part of the gym and raped her, reports state.
He threatened the woman with future violence after the incident was over. The woman later underwent a victim exam that found physical evidence and injuries, reports state.
In a news release about Walden’s first arrest that Clearwater police put out earlier this week about Walden’s first arrest, investigators indicated they believed there may be other victims.
In the case from last year, police said Walden met the victim in the 1300 block of Gulf-to-Bay Boulevard and drove her to a parking lot off N Saturn Ave., police said. Then he dragged her from the vehicle, beat her and sexually assaulted her, according to police.
The victim was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment. Walden was identified as the attacker through DNA, police said.
Walden has a lengthy criminal record that includes charges involving drugs, domestic battery and driving incidents.

Rape may not be Walden’s worst crime:

When Terri Oberle saw William Walden’s mugshot flash on the television screen, her heart sank.
Clearwater police arrested Walden [Jan. 27] and charged him in connection with a violent sexual assault that left the victim with so many injuries she was unable to move.
[Jan. 31], detectives charged him with an additional rape that took place at a Clearwater Gym.
For two months, Walden dated Oberle’s daughter, 24-year old Kaelin Rieger. Oberle found her daughter’s body floating in the backyard pool in September. She always felt Walden had something to do with it, although Largo Police detectives who investigated called the case closed with no indication of any foul play.
Rieger was known to do drugs. Investigators found evidence of drug use near the pool where her body was found. The medical examiner ruled the death was drug-related. But Oberle still believes to this day, there is more to this.
“Somebody’s not connecting the dots here, they’re not connecting the dots, my daughter’s dead, these girls are raped,” said Oberle, as she cried sitting behind photos of her daughter. “I’m broken-hearted. My daughter didn’t deserve this. She was so light-hearted. This guy’s evil.”

Two women raped, and the suspect’s ex-girlfriend “accidentally” drowned last year. But feminists don’t care, for some reason . . .

Violence Against Women Update: Two Killed in Texas Campus Shooting

Posted on

 

Monday afternoon, there were reports that two people had been shot and killed on the Texas A&M-Commerce (TAMUC) campus, but police did not immediately release information about the suspect or the possible motive. Two women were reportedly killed in the Pride Rock dormitory for freshmen (TAMUC’s mascot is the Lions, thus the reference to “Pride Rock” from the movie The Lion King), and a two-year-old child was reported injured, and I was mystified by what could have happened. If a suspect was at large, wouldn’t police have identified the gunman? Was this perhaps a murder-suicide? By Tuesday afternoon, however, a suspect was in custody and details finally became public:

Deja Matts, 19, wanted to be a nurse. That’s why she was in college.
Her sister, 20-year-old Abbaney Matts, was her best friend.
The two died together in Deja’s door room Monday afternoon at Texas A&M University-Commerce.
Abbaney’s 2-year-old son Allen was shot in the leg. He survived. . . .
Abbaney did not attend the college.
She drove her sister back to school after a big family get together over the weekend.
She and baby Allen were only going to spend one night there.
“They were just up here. My son had a birthday party and they were all up here and went back and all this happened,” said [their father, Timonthy] Matts.
Police did release a 911 call that was made by a student at the college saying there was a bullet hole in her dorm room.
“There is a hole through my wall and there on the other side is a nick in my calendar. It looks like someone shot through the wall and through the calendar.”
Police have arrested Abbaney’s ex-boyfriend 21-year-old Jacques Dshawn Smith. He has been charged with capital murder.

 

 

Do we or do we not care about violence against women?

Texas A&M University-Commerce police said 21-year-old Jacques Dshawn Smith is in custody and is believed to have fatally shot his ex-girlfriend, 20-year-old Abbaney Matts, along with her 19-year-old sister, freshman Deja Matts, and Deja’s 2-year-old son, inside the Pride Rock residence hall.
University police confirmed the arrest on Twitter Tuesday afternoon, saying witness tips and surveillance video led to the development of Smith as a suspect.
Rowlett SWAT, along with the Texas DPS and Texas Rangers, executed search and arrest warrants at Smith’s Rowlett home on Luna Road and took him into custody Tuesday afternoon.
NBC 5 has learned Smith was free on bond related to an alleged assault family violence incident that took place last week. The report was filed by Abbaney Matts, one of the shooting victims.
According to Garland police, Abbaney said Smith assaulted her Jan. 26 at a home on Bosque Drive with a frying pan, lamp and then pulled out a knife before leaving the residence. Though she was not hospitalized, Abbaney reported injuries to the right side of her head, her eyes and had red marks and abrasions after the alleged attack.
Smith was arrested and an emergency protective order was issued on Abbaney’s behalf. Smith was freed Jan. 29 after posting $15,000 bond.
NBC 5 has also learned Smith has a string of priors dating back four years with charges including evading arrest, theft and aggravated robbery.

This guy had been perpetrating crime his entire adult life. He was only 21 and yet had already been charged with at least four different crimes, so we must ask: Who posted his $15,000 bond after he assaulted the woman he eventually murdered? Why are obviously dangerous criminals being set free to commit more violence? And why aren’t feminists paying any attention to this atrocity? Oh, wait . . . intersectionality.




 

Violence Against Women Update: Strangled Victim He Met on a Dating App

Posted on

 

Dating apps are a great way for women to meet violent sexual predators:

An Acworth man has been sentenced to 50 years in prison for violent sexual acts he filmed against a woman he met on a dating app, the Cobb District Attorney’s office says.
Darryl Joseph Clark, 38, strangled the woman and forced her to perform oral sex inside his hotel room at Hometowne Lodge on Baker Road in Acworth on July 5, 2017, records show.
The victim had to take a year off work because she was so terrorized, experiencing nightmares and flashbacks, the DA’s office said in a news release Thursday.
Nurses testified in the case that the victim suffered bruising on her neck and chest, as well as bleeding in both eyes, in the days following the attack, and this was indicative of strangulation with significant force.
Acworth police said the victim thought she was going to die.
According to the Cobb DA’s office, the woman connected with Clark through a dating app and they first met on July 4, 2017, in public.
“When Clark asked her to come into his apartment, she declined, but agreed to see him the next day,” the DA’s office said.
On July 5, 2017, the woman went to Clark’s hotel room. She tried to leave when he made physical contact, the DA’s office said.
That’s when Clark pushed her down, strangled her and then forced her to perform oral sex, which he filmed in an effort to blackmail her so she wouldn’t tell authorities, per the DA’s office.
Clark was convicted of aggravated sodomy and aggravated assault (strangulation) by a Cobb jury earlier this month.
The DA’s office said jurors heard testimony from Clark’s ex-girlfriend, who said he also strangled her and forced her to perform oral sex numerous times while they were in a relationship.
“She testified that Clark reacted violently when he was turned down for sex, and that she had to take out a protective order against him,” the news release stated.
Clark was sentenced to 50 years in prison and lifetime probation by Cobb Superior Court Judge LaTain Kell on Tuesday. Clark will be a registered sex offender if ever released from custody, the DA’s office said.
He has remained in the Cobb jail for 930 days since his arrest on July 14, 2017, and will get credit for time served.
Assistant District Attorney Drew Healy said Clark viewed women as objects, expected them to give him sex and was willing to use threats and violence to get what he wanted.

More violence against women feminists won’t notice, for some reason . . .

Instagram + Snapchat = rape:

A University of Utah football player was arrested Thursday after police say he kidnapped and raped a 17-year-old girl.
The alleged victim told police she met Terrell Perriman, a 20-year-old wide receiver for the team, on Instagram and they connected on Snapchat. The girl told police Perriman sent her sexually graphic videos and photos and requested the same from her.
The girl then went to Perriman’s apartment on Friday, where he took her into the bedroom and refused to let her leave unless she gave Perriman oral sex, according to the statement.
“The victim stated that she started crying because she wanted to leave and she was scared,” a statement of probable cause said. The girl tried to leave the room, and Perriman allegedly stood in front of the door blocking her exit.
Perriman also allegedly took the girl’s phone away and held it out of her reach so she couldn’t call for help.
The victim said Perriman then pulled down his pants and pulled down the girl’s shorts and raped her.
Perriman faces felony charges of kidnapping, rape and enticing a minor and a misdemeanor charge of dealing in material harmful to a minor.
Salt Lake City police Detective Greg Wilking said police have “some indication” there could be more victims and urged individuals to come forward, according to the Salt Lake Tribune.
“Often in these kinds of cases, there’s not just one victim,” he added. “This is behavior that’s repeated.”
A three-star recruit out of Miami Central High School, Perriman was a 2018 redshirt who played 10 games in 2019.

Let me ask you ladies: If a guy sends you “sexually graphic videos and photos” and then you go over to his apartment, what do you think is going to happen once that door closes behind you?

Far be it from me to defend Terrell Perriman — who, however, must be presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law — but I’ve got a 17-year-old daughter, and I pray she would never be such a fool as to trust a guy who would even think of sending “sexually graphic videos and photos.” But this is just another case of violence against women that feminists won’t notice, for some reason . . .
