The Failure to Keep Violent Criminals Off the Street – Top 3 Takeaways, September 15th, 2025
Takeaway #1: Do you trust the judicial system to keep violent criminals off the street? Last week, which included what was only our country’s 4th political assassination of a non-office holder, was an extraordinarily emotional and trying week for our country. Erika Kirk’s address Friday night, which is must see TV for not only every American but for every freedom seeking person on this planet. It was truly one of the most inspiring messages in the face of ultimate adversity that I’ve ever seen. I have no doubt that for Turning Point USA, as I mentioned on Friday, isn’t going away but is only entering its next chapter. One that I believe will result in it being a stronger force a year from now than it even was with Charlie at the helm. More about that one in today’s Q&A. We’ve also learned of the trans-connection to Kirk’s assassin, as he was living with and having a relationship with a transitioning man. If you missed my takeaways on Friday discussing the evil of gender ideology, and the fallacy of society to accept such things, I’d encourage you to read my blog or listen to the podcast from Friday. With all of this said, there are other disturbing developments over the past week which were largely uncovered. That included a school shooting in Colorado last Wednesday that thankfully resulted in only the 16-year-old perpetrator’s death but that came at a school that usually is supposed to have a school resource officer on duty but that didn’t on that day because the SRO was on leave and no one filled that role. There were also other important stories glossed over last week. To my question posed as my top takeaway today... It’s a straightforward question that drew an overwhelming response last week when posed in the form of a poll but before addressing that question and the results of the poll consider this. In December of 2023, a man in Virigina Beach was trespassing on a business owners' property which prompted a call to police. Police identified the trespasser in their police report this way. He was in the driver’s seat of a car, highly intoxicated, with possession of white pills in an open container, a handgun without a serial number and a sawed-off shotgun. Police charged the suspect with related felonies that carried a minimum of two years in jail with the potential of up to ten. The suspect pled guilty to the charges, however the prosecutor in the case, in conjunction with the judge, dropped the felony offense(s) resulting in a sentence of 12 months of unsupervised probation. Recently that suspect murdered a woman. No, I’m not describing one of the offenses committed by the racist Charlotte murderer. I’m describing offenses of another Black man who murdered a white woman in cold blood even more recently than what went down in Charlotte. What I just described are the offenses committed by Harold Dabney III, who just recently, in a popular Auburn Alabama Park, murdered veterinarian Dr. Julie Schunelle, while she was walking her dog. According to police records Dabney kidnapped Julie, taking her into the woods where he brutally attacked her resulting in her death. He then stole her pickup truck before being found that that day by authorities. Now, unlike the Charlotte murderer we don’t have sound of the suspect saying “I got that white girl, I got that white girl”. But what we do have is our second example of the news media’s hypocrisy on display, as they’ve attempted to bury this horrific news story just as they attempted to bury the Charlotte train murder that took place on August 22nd that was only recently been brought to light. Your GSS news media isn’t interested in Black men horrifically murdering white women but, ya know did you hear that Ben Crump is demanding the DOJ investigate the Jacksonville PD and has sued the police department? Here’s your NBC News headline on that one: A Black man who was punched in the face by a white Florida officer askes the DOJ to investigate.
Takeaway #2: How many “White woman brutally murdered by Black man” stories have you seen from NBC...? Or any of the legacy GSS news feeds? And how dare that Marine veteran Daniel Penny save people from a violent man on a train? Right? And my point in mentioning this isn’t to stoke racial tensions the way that Leftists/GSS news intend to. It’s simply to illustrate the outrageous hypocrisy that exists and what their only real objective is, which isn’t objectively reporting the news. Now, speaking of the outrageous Charlotte train murder of Iryna Zarutska, where a Black man convicted of 14 prior crimes, which in total carried potential sentences that could have kept him behind bars for the rest of his life, was repeatedly put back out on the street enabling him to commit his hate crime. The fact that he was continually cut loose by the courts was so outrageous that even the murderer’s mother is on record as saying: (the courts) “should have never let her son be out in the community”. But woke prosecutors, and woke judges continually put him back in the community until he did what he did. And back to the murder in Auburn which you likely hadn’t heard about. Had the woke prosecutor and woke judge in Virginia Beach simply applied the minimum sentence for the felonies the perpetrator was guilty of, as opposed to dropping the felony charges to enable the perp to avoid jail time, the murderer would still be behind bars hundreds of miles away from where he brutally murdered a veterinarian. As I’ve previously reported...
Takeaway #3: What do you think the recidivism rate is for convicted criminals? The survey says (based on convictions) ...77%. This just in, correctional facilities aren’t generally correcting anything. And btw, the recidivism rate jumps to 84% for convicted criminals under 24. 84%! And it’s important to consider that the 84% are only those who are caught and convicted of future crimes. How many of the remaining 16% simply aren’t apprehended? But here’s the larger point. That’s an overwhelmingly clear figure that demands attention. It’s clear that almost every convicted criminal will commit crimes again given the opportunity. That reality doesn’t demand leniency, which only creates future victims in society, if anything it suggests prosecutors and judges should be pushing for and applying the longest possible sentences for convicted criminals. Data from the U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics shows that aside from the massively high recidivism rates, convicted criminals are 28% more likely to escalate subsequent crimes. So, in other words, not only will almost all convicted criminals victimize innocent people again given an opportunity to do so, there’s also a meaningfully increased likelihood that the next crimes will be more significant crimes, much as we’ve seen in the two examples of Black men murdering white women. So back to today’s question posed as my top takeaway... Do you trust the judicial system to keep violent criminals off the street? That was the poll question posed by Sinclair Media last week. What did people have to say? 95% said no. So it would seem that approximately 5% of those answering the poll question are convicted criminals, and that aside from them we overwhelmingly united on this issue. There’s way too much violence in society. There’s a need to do what Charlie would do and make a point to put God first in our lives.
