Florida Woman Was in a Big Hurry to Reach Her Destination: Prison

Posted on | April 28, 2021 | Comments Off on Florida Woman Was in a Big Hurry to Reach Her Destination: Prison

Jennifer Carvajal was behind the wheel of a Hyundai Elantra clocked on radar at 111 mph headed west on I-4 by a Florida Highway Patrol trooper. It was 1:30 a.m., and three passengers were in the car with Carvajal, who did not have a driver’s license, because she had violated her probation.

What was she on probation for? DUI manslaughter in 2014.

Yeah, that’s right — apparently you can kill somebody while driving drunk in Florida and you’re back on the streets in just a few years.

In 2016, Carvajal was sentenced to five years in prison, but was released in 2019. “According to Hillsborough Circuit Court Clerk records, she was then arrested in May [2020] for violating her probation with a drug-related charge and was sentenced to five more years probation.”

Did you get that? After killing somebody, then serving only three years in prison, she was arrested for drugs, a probation violation that could have sent her back to prison. But it’s Tampa, where all the judges are Democrats, so they just gave her more probation. Less than a year later, she was doing 111 mph on I-4 at 1:30 in the morning when the trooper caught her on radar. And when the trooper managed to catch up with her, Carvajal had a truly genius idea — right turn!

The result — don’t worry, you’ll see the video in a minute — looked like something your 4-year-would do with one of his Matchbox cars. The Hyundai went down the shoulder of the freeway, then ricocheted up the embankment on the other side of the ditch, crashed through a fence and went airborne into the lot of a car dealership, where it bounced off a truck, smashed through a concrete light pole and a palm tree, and then catapulted end over end before finally crashing into the pavement.

Jennifer Carvajal survived the crash because, despite her many errors of judgment, she was wearing a seatbelt. Her passengers, alas, were less fortunate. Two of them were seriously injured, and one of them was ejected from the car and fatally smashed to a bloody pulp.

 

My guess is that even the liberal Democrat judges in Tampa won’t be so lenient with Carvajal this time. It’s easy to laugh at “Florida woman,” until she makes a right turn at 111 mph and kills somebody.

Andrew Brown Was a Career Criminal

Posted on | April 27, 2021 | Comments Off on Andrew Brown Was a Career Criminal

The shooting of Andrew Brown by sheriff’s deputies in Elizabeth City, North Carolina, has gotten a lot of national media attention, but I’ve avoided comment on the controversy because we haven’t seen video of the shooting, and therefore cannot evaluate assertions by activists that the shooting was unjustified. Based entirely on descriptions of the shooting, it sounds as if this was one of those situations where, once the first shot was fired, everybody felt a need to start shooting. This is what happens occasionally when you’ve got multiple armed officers on the scene, and Pasquotank County deputies were serving two warrants — a search warrant and also a warrant for Brown’s arrest — at his residence.

We haven’t seen the video and don’t actually know what happened, however, so I will continue to reserve judgment on whether this shooting was legally justified. However, I must object to the way the media is promoting a Sainted Civil Rights Martyr myth around this case.

Andrew Brown dindu nuffin, we are told. He was an innocent victim.

Excuse my French, but this is a steaming pile of bullshit. Andrew Brown was committing crimes his entire life. He never had any other career:

Public records show a history of convictions for drug dealing by Brown, and he was arrested in November 2020 on drug charges.
In 2004, Brown was convicted of speeding to elude arrest. Between 2006 and 2008 he was convicted of multiple misdemeanors for communicating threats and one for violating an order of protection. He had earlier convictions for assault, domestic trespass and wanton injury to person or property, in addition to multiple property and drug crimes.

His first adult arrest was at age 18, and he was busted for drug dealing as recently as six months ago. He “had a criminal rap sheet over 180 pages long and dating back to May 1988.”

The only reason anyone outside of Pasquotank County, North Carolina, is paying attention to this case is because Andrew Brown was black.

Well, like I said, we don’t know what happened that caused the deputies to open fire on Brown during that raid, and I’ll reserve judgment, but don’t expect me to buy any media myths about this BMW-driving dope dealer being some kind of hero, Saint Andrew of the Blessed Rock.




 

Drunk Michigan Democrat Invoked Whitmer’s Name During DUI Bust

Posted on | April 26, 2021 | Comments Off on Drunk Michigan Democrat Invoked Whitmer’s Name During DUI Bust

This is not merely “alleged,” it’s on video:

A Michigan state representative fought with paramedics and state police troopers then demanded to call Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) in a dashcam video released Saturday.
State Rep. Jewell Jones (D-Inkster) crashed his vehicle April 6 and allegedly assaulted first responders who attempted to assist him and his passenger.
The video appears to show Jones repeatedly defying orders from Michigan State Police troopers and issuing threats. . . .
MIRS News reported the passenger’s “pants were down” as she vomited near the vehicle. The representative’s pants were “partially down” when paramedics arrived at the location on I-96, according to police reports.
The video shows two troopers attempting to work with Jones to obtain his license, which the state representative refused to provide. At that point, they took him to the ground.
“Let me sit up, (N-Word),” Jones demanded of the troopers, one of whom was black.
“I’ll call Gov. Whitmer right now,” Jones allegedly threatened. He continued, “When I call Gretchen, I need y’alls’ IDs and badges.” . . .
“It’s not going to be good for you, I run y’all budget, bro,” Jones said, according to the video. . . .
Michigan State Police say Jones’s blood-alcohol level was .191 — more than double the .08 legal limit.

Get drunk. Drive your car into a ditch. Without pants. That’s basically the Democratic Party platform, right there. And I repeat: It’s on video.

 

A “rising star” for Democrats.

Miss Becker is a cosplayer and model, frequently appearing in Reddit’s r/cosplaygirls subreddit. At first I was tempted to go with this humorous take on NieR: Automata’s 2B, but instead I opted for her portrayal of Neon Genesis Evangelion‘s tragic heroine Misato Katsuragi in her off-duty time.
