All Right, so I want to cover a couple of stories kind of related to the topic that we were covering yesterday, regarding the Shelby, North Carolina police officer who was fired and then charged with a misdemeanor assault for punching a woman who was also charged with breaking and entering. And now Ben Crump has brought his carnival race hustle to Shelby. He did a press conference yesterday. But there were two other stories kind of sort of related to this, okay, because there is a theme through all of these stories, and it may not be detectable at first, but that's why I am here, Okay. I am here to detect the undetectable, or to at least give you the inside of somebody else who detected it, and then I read it, and then I'm just going to pass it on to you, okay either way. So first we go across the pond over to the UK for the first in our two stories of stabbings. Okay, over in the UK, a trial just ended, and I gotta tell you, I follow the news pretty closely. I actually listened to several podcasts out of the UK, and I had not heard of this story until like a day or so ago. It is the story of Henry Novak or Novak, I don't know how it's pronounced, and ow A no Whak. He is the victim. He was stabbed to death. He was eighteen years old. He was attending university, as they say over there, and his attacker was just convicted in the murder. Okay, he was murdered by a Sikh Sikh seeks. These are people that they they're often confused with Muslims by people who don't know, like the big turbine becaus they wear the turbine because they grow their hair very long, you know, and they wrap up the hair it's under the turbine. And the Sikh man. Had a knife which he was allowed to have, but which Henry Nowak, being a brit was not allowed to have being a British person, non sekh, you're not allowed to have even like a bread knife. They're all all the NYE was a illegal in the UK, even though they're really stabby over there since they banned all of the guns. So Henry Nowhak was stabbed four times with an eight inch blade and he died in police custody, literally handcuffed as he bled out on the ground, telling police that he had been stabbed, telling police I can't breathe because he literally could not breathe because the blood was filling his lungs. Why would police cuff the bleeding victim? Why would they do such a thing? Ah, well, the Sikh told police who arrived on scene before he handed the murder weapon to his brother, who apparently handed it off to his mom to their mom, who then took it home and hid it in the home. They both got caught to. But the Sikh attacker accused the victim of racism. And that was enough for the British police. He was murdered. According to David Strom, he was murdered because he was white, and the police who arrived while he was still alive, handcuffed him, scoffed at his knife wounds, and watched him die as they read him his rights. He literally died hearing the police officer read him his rights. And this was because his murderer, who took the time to call his family, asserted to the police that Noak was a racist. The police actually have a policy to. Immediately investigate charges of racism made against white people, and they immediately prioritized that over helping Noak. They didn't call for an ambulance until after he was already dead, and then, of course later they discover that the accusation was completely baseless. One of the podcasts I listened to from the UK is a podcast called Triggeronometry. One of the hosts is Constantine Kissin, and he talks about how the UK has created a racial hierarchy of victimhood where a career criminal who died through mistreatment by police in a foreign country with zero evidence of racism, like George Floyd, Sorry, Saint George Floyd, right, that's automatically sanctified because of the color of his skin. Like they were having all sorts of George Floyd memorials and remembrances and such in Britain. In Britain, like, there's zero connection there to George Floyd Minneapolis, America, whatever, and Henry Noak, a British Man one of ours, he says, is automatically dismissed and ignored because of the color of his skin. This is the ugly fruit of so called anti racism, an obsession with race that has created a two tier society which treats people differently because of the color of their skin. It needs to stop, he said. Back to David Strawm at hot air dot com, he says, in Britain, knife crime is such an obsession that it's literally illegal for most people to carry knives. But there is an exception for Sikhs because they have this knife and it's part of like some religious component of their faith, you know whatever, So they're allowed to carry the Now some do, some do not. They have like miniaturized little knives that they'll put on like a necklace or something, you know. But this guy, he was taking full advantage of this exemption. The police, after months of stalling, and only after the murderer was sentenced for killing Nowhak, only then did they release just a snippet of the police bodycam footage from one of the multiple officers who were there. It is harrowing enough, but does not capture the true horror of the scene. The majority of the officers were taking statements about the racism from the people they considered the real victim is murderer, and you can actually hear it. You can hear the police in the background talking to the murderer and others about all of the way that all of the ways that Noak was a racist or something. No evidence of that. The bodycam footage is from one officer who arrives at the scene, at the scene well after the original responding officers, who hadn't even bothered to check on Noak as he lay bleeding to death. So the only footage we get is footage of another cop who arrives after the original responding officers. We don't get any of theirs. How did they treat Noak who was like laying on the ground, like under the front of a car and they drag him. The cop arrives and he's like get him out from a drag him from under the car, and he's like moaning and dying, and he says to the victim when the victim says I've been stabbed and the cop says, I don't think you have been stabbed. Mate. Reports are that it was over an hour between the police arriving and no Whak being pronounced dead, although he was likely dead before it was actually called Andy no independent journalist said the BBC reports on the murder of Henry Noak. The university student was stabbed to death by a migrant on December third, twenty twenty five, in Southampton, England. When police arrived, the migrant murderer lied and said he was the victim of a racist attacks, a hoaxed tactic encouraged and rewarded by leftists. The police handcuffed the injured victim as he told them he had been stabbed and couldn't breathe. The migrant's mother helped hide the knife from the scene. She and her son were convicted at trial. Police have issued a soft apology, not offered any settlement, and said the student would have died anyway. This is why people in the UK are so angry today. You know, stories are powerful.

Just kind of keep that in the back of your mind, Okay, because remember in twenty twenty Saint George Floyd, right, an incident that had nothing to do with Britain. The British establishment though basically lost its mind. Okay, the police started doing all of these reform policies, and here's what their new priority became. Quote reports of racist behavior spelled with the you. So reports of racist behavior or action by officers and staff will be thoroughly investigated and will be dealt with swiftly and robustly, with appropriate support for victims and those reporting racist behaviors. So what does that mean? Simply alleging racist behavior now is the priority and they lay it out explicitly as the number one priority in the Police Race Action Plan or the PRAP, or as I call it, the PRAP. Officers who failed to treat an allegation of racism with sufficient seriousness, fear or risk being accused of racism themselves. That's the outcome in twenty twenty five, just last year, they updated their report. And tell me if this line sounds a smidge or as the Brits might say, a wee bit or maybe that's Irish, a wee bit familiar quote, it is not enough for us to not be racist or to claim not to be racist. Anti racism demands that we are proactive. Does that sound familiar It should. That's Ibra Mex Kendy. That's almost a direct quote of Kendy who says it's not enough to be anti racist or to just say you're not or sorry. It's not enough to not be racist, and it's not enough just to say you're not racist. You have to be actively anti racist. And the way to went on to say, the way to solve for past discrimination is current and future discrimination. This has always been explicit in the Church of Wokeism always. It goes on to say, in this report, it does not mean treating everyone the same or being colorblind. And what is that? What does that mean? It means we're going to treat people differently based on the color of their skin. And in Britain that means if you are white, then you are not going to be treated the same. In other words, you'll be treated worse an allegation of racism against you. You'll be treated worse than a person of color or a pock a POC. This is the two tiered system of justice. It is the official policy to treat people of different races differently, and they justify it under the banner of anti racism because current discrimination is the solution to past discrimination. That's why Native Britons can't carry a knife but seeks can. Later on, David Strom points out Britain is in far worse shape than the United States and such things, but it is a matter of degree, not kind, that separates US. American politicians on the left openly admit that they cringe at seeing the US flag. They're talking of purging America of their political opponents. Dei is still everywhere. Academia is the most racist institution in America, and policing by race is quite common, with differential sentences against whites and others. It's why you see cases of forty time felons murdering people right, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat offenders. Why we have a judge of Meckelberg County who's a decarceration activist. When George Floyd, a man with a criminal record a mile long and with fatal doses of both fentanyl and myth in his bloodstream, died, the entire world erupted in outrage. Officers who had nothing to do with the event other than doing crowd control at the scene were sent to prison. Months of violence followed, police forces were upended, and the entire left went on the whole defund the police rampage. But Henry nowhak we hear about this case just as the trial ends, our cultural and political leader upset at the populist uprising against this two tier system. To them, though, this just makes sense. It's a form of reparations, you might say, sort of like the grimming gangs, like we British had it coming. The same sort of mentality is pervasive in blue cities that create policies to help criminals escape deportation, ensuring that sentencing choices take immigration consequences into account. That's what the Fairfax County District Attorney is doing, right. We talked about that a couple of weeks ago. In other words, don't hold them, excuse me, don't hold them, don't bring them into custody. If they do get arrested for something, turn them out immediately, because the longer they're in the jail, the more like the ice may get alerted to their presence and then they're going to come. And deport them. So let's take that into account before we charge anybody or even bring them into the jail. In other words, in some jurisdictions, illegal aliens are routinely released to commit more crimes rather than risk their deportation. So what's the larger issue at play. I'll get to that up next quick pointer. Far left activist groups stand up to racism. They decided that it would be a good idea to disrupt a vigil for the murdered student. Yeah, they did that, and then they boasted about it on social media. They were screaming fascist at the mourners who laid flowers and attempted to hold a three minute moment of silence for the victim. But the stand up to racism people would not allow them to have their vigil in peace. The four officers involved in allowing no act to die while handcuffed has resigned, the other three still on the force and facing no investigation or punishment. This is from Ben Shapiro. He was talking about this case yesterday, I think, and he talked about how the police are incentivized through their training that if a person of color commits a crime against a white person and the person of color claims racism against the white person, then all credibility goes to the person of color and none to the white person. And the most significant aspect of any confrontation is an allegation of racism. Allegations of racism are taken at face value and they are the great sin. And then he asked, like, would cops be out of a job if they believed the white. Victim in that case? Or if let's say nobody was stabbed and you just arrive at the scene and there's black eye white guy. Black guy says he was a racist to me, and white guy's like, no, I wasn't, And you don't take that seriously. Would the cops have been fired for that because they weren't following their policy that treats the charge or the allegation of racism as the highest ordered principle. But here's the thing. The incentive that you have created through these policies is that the best way to avoid police scrutiny is to make false claims that something racist happened to you. Then you don't get any police scrutiny. You can literally stab a kid as he's bleeding out on the floor and you just say, oh, he did something racist to me, and that's enough. No scrutiny for you. Here's what the impact is at the societal level. Okay, when a society treats all allegations of racism and that all these allegations are believed just at face value, then what you are doing is perverting the system of values. Because racism is bad, you shouldn't be a racist. And when you invert that right, when you treat the allegation of racism as automatically believable, you have weaponized the society's value against that society, using our values against us. Let me go over to the text line. Gary says, the story with the cop in Shelby would be a blip if the races were reversed. Crump, Benjamin Crump, wants it to be about race. Where has Crump been for the decade plus of a should degree missing from Shelby. That's a great point, little Ashia degrees little. I forget how old she was at the time. I mean like six, seven, eight years old something like that. She was very young, and she the reports are that she woke up in the morning too early, I want to say, and got dressed and like walked off to go to school or something. She just left the house never to be seen again and the police in Cleveland County and Shelby, right, they have been looking for this girl for like, I think it's been like twenty years. They put billboards up for this girl. They've never forgotten that case. But now we've got Ben Crump and is traveling race baiting circus in town, trying to paint all police as racists. All the Shelby police, right, they're all racist. This is systemic and all of that, And people are wondering, is that why the cop got fired? Is that why he got charged? Did they throw him under the bus in order to quell tensions or something? The Hellia says, I love the protest trying to get the British cops to take a knee. He turned the George Floysta. This is where we were headed when they kept repeating the biggest threat here in the US was white supremacist violence. TP says, the Brits have lost their way. I reflect back to the race issue in US. In the US, when I was a young boy in upstate New York, a black woman named Tajuana Brawley claimed that a white man raped her and Al Sharpton came to her rescue. And then we found out she lied about it. So I remember that case. I was a kid too on Long Island. I remember that case. Can a Britain just identify as a seekh in order to carry a knife for self defense? M it's Britain. So I'm gonna guess that they've probably got a whole mountain of paperwork you gotta fill out. I gotta believe the bureaucracy is going to be all up in that. And then so that that trial just ended, Another trial in Texas is just beginning. This is the trial of Carmelo Anthony, charged because he admitted he did it, charged with stabbing Austin metcalf, a fellow teenager. This has been fourteen months ago. Opening arguments are expected tomorrow. Prosecutors have a list of thirty five witnesses, so the trial could last up to two weeks. There were dueling protests outside the courthouse as well. Supporters showed up wearing purple. They were all wearing purple because purple is Carmelo's favorite color. At one point, a person had to be escorted out of the courtroom for allegedly filming prospective jurors. Cell Phones are banned in the courtroom. There are a bunch of people Carmelo Anthony supporters that are live streaming on TikTok out front. There were also multiple members of the Black Panthers that were outside. There's another group handing out a flyer. The group appears to be some kind of white identitarian group. See this is what happens when you start playing this game where everybody is being told to first identify as their race rather than look at the specifics of the case. In this case, Carmelo Anthony was sitting under a tent at a track meet of an opposing school. He was told to leave. He gets pushed by one of the metcalf After Anthony had reached into his bag and said, you know something, touch me and see what happens, he pulls out a knife that indicates that he had malice a forethought. Right that he's pulling out a knife saying touch me and see what happens. In other words, if you touch me, I'm going to stab you to death. That is not self defense, just a heads up. Being pushed or shoved does not allow you to stab the person in the chest. You have to be in imminent fear of your life or for your life, right and again, he confessed to the stabbing after he tossed the weapon and tried to flee the scene, but he did eventually admit to it. So like the claim here is that he acted in self defense. So that's what the trial is going to be about. But the fact that you have people that are out there and all they see, all they see are the races of the victim and the purp the defendant here, and so that's my team. Is it any wonder why you've got a bunch of white supremacists out there taking the other side. When you've got a group of people that are there taking the other side simply based on race. This is not healthy, not healthy. And that's why even yesterday when I said I want more information, I want to see more of the footage. And when it comes to that British case, I want to see more of that footage too. I want to see all of it. I want more information so I have a broader context, a fuller understanding. But there's another thing that's going on here, the lack of shame. Peter Bogosian talked about this in a recent post that is substack. Goodbye shame, Hello diversity, and he's trying to start what I find to be a pretty interesting conversation. So I'll tell you what he is positing in a moment. Here's a text from an anonymous which I understand why you would want to remain anonymous. When you say these types of things. Nine to a zero number says, why do you take one isolated event and make it like it's the norm? Oh yeah for ratings? Yeah again, I don't pay attention to the ratings. I just do My show had a successful podcast before I got back onto the WBT air waves, So totally fine doing the content that got me here. I'm going to keep doing that. And as I just explained, this is a larger issue at play. It is an example, to be sure, but it is what happens when you enact policies at a macro level, how those policies work their way down through all of those institutions, and it changes the society. And you're not going to like it. Trust me, you're not going to like it. Peter Bagosian, talking about the demise of shame as a cultural force in America, says, in order to shame somebody, you have to share a basic moral and cultural framework with them. In other words, you have to think that the same things are bad right. That's the only way shaming works. This is why shame was such an efficient cudgel during the woke era. There was a shared understanding of what constituted wrong think, even among the minority who disagreed that it was wrong think right. People were afraid to be called these terrible names because that was shameful. That was that behavior was shameful, So they would do everything they could to avoid being called those names, even erroneously called those names. But that allowed it enabled the woke to efficiently identify shame and punish transgressors. He says, my suspicion is that wokeness was likely the last mono morality that will ever exist in America. Peak woke is over, and we are too diverse a nation for any one moral system to hold purchase over everyone. Now, different moral tribes compete and coexist. He names a bunch of them here, Urban. Black, conservative, Muslim, woke, wasp conservative Christian, and those of various immigrant groups, to name a few. It's easy to see the good that freeing people from shame does. Though, I am now more able to speak my mind without fear of social, professional and legal reprisal than I was during peak woke. Two guys can walk down the street holding hands. Right, No shame in that any longer. Right, But shame is also an important tool of social control. Without shame, we will become forced to default to carceral solutions. What does that mean, law arresting people? Right, Because if the guardrails of shame are torn down, then all you are left with at a societal level to keep the order is arresting people. This is the problem. This is why I highlighted these two cases, these two stabbings. Right, you have people outside of that courthouse in Texas that obviously have no shame in what it is that they are doing. There's no longer shame in saying this person shouldn't be convicted of the stabbing they confess to because of their race. That used to be a position that would prompt shame, but not any longer. All right, that'll do it for this episode. Thank you so much for listening.
