Does justice wear a blindfold, or does it peek? The recent sentencing of Enrique Tarrio, the former leader of the Proud Boys, for his part in the Capitol attack, throws this question into stark relief. Join us for an intricate exploration of the implications of his 22-year sentence, as we break down the peculiarities of the judge's tendency for downward departures in sentencing and its potential effect on similar crimes.
Media, crime, or punishment - which conquers the spotlight? The conspicuous disparities in media coverage of the January 6th sentencing presents an interesting discourse. Particularly, the racial undertones in Tarrio's 20+ year sentence, and the little to no coverage on the convictions of other members of the Proud Boys. Further implicated is the case of a Georgia man charged with Rico, making attempts to transfer his case to a federal court where cameras don't hold sway.
A crisis is roiling beneath the surface of America's education system. The introduction of entities like PragerU and the nine one seven society into public school curriculum raises alarming concerns. Let's unpack the potential impact of such measures on our educational institutions, the looming threat of our polarized political climate, and the dire need for accountability. As we cap this discussion, we take a hard look at the rhetoric of Rhina Santis, the ominous potential for increased violence against the black community, and the pressing urgency for holding those in power accountable.
