. . . "I may have to go to Afghanistan to fight terrorists. I don't agree with what you say, but I'll fight to the death to ensure that you have the freedom to say it." I couldn't help but notice the hatred in their eyes...

God bless you and protect you. I thank God for you and our military. My step-son is in the Navy, now back out to sea again, in an "undisclosed location," protecting us and the rest of the world from the terrorists. Of course, I don't know what he's doing. He's always in our prayers. And it's hard on his wife with their new baby, being left alone for weeks and weeks because of this war.

"There are two victims here," said her defense attorney. "I believe Ms. Mallard has suffered enough."

Today, she's a victim.

Tomorrow, she will be painted as a heroine.

They will probably give her one of those "Image" awards.

You know it may seem lik tabloid stuff but in my opioniion there is a political side to this: leftist position that an individual isn't really responsible for hiis actions. Look for the left to supply:
Excuses
Cover.

Hah!

I'm sure Jesse will have something to say about it... as soon as he comes up with a word to rhyme with "defenestrate."

[texasbluebell]

It will be interesting to see what liberal pop icon pops out of the woodwork to defend the defenseless, once again.

So far, I haven't heard Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson racing to her defense. Guess even they can see nothing to gain by defending her.

Thanks for the video link. This woman needs to burn, but that of course is ultimately up to God.

I do have a question for everyone. If this informant was promised anonymity and the feds let her down, won't this make other potential informants think twice before doing the right thing? After all, this informant has death threats against her and she is obviously distressed.

Thanks for showing the details of this story that no one else will show. This is the only place you can get the relevant details. Now we know that the murderer is black and the victim is white. If the races were reversed that fact would be plastered all over the place. Before this is over, the media will be saying that this poor black woman is actually somehow the victim.

[MissAmericanPie]

Isn't it amazing how heartless scum like her can only cry and wail like banshees when something is happening to them? Then they call for mercy, "what is right and just", and demand that everyone else control their emotions while they blubber emotionally over the "unjust" treatment they are receiving.

She best hope her peers do not do what is "right and just" but rather do what is PC and liberal.

[neutrino]

I can't imagine why the community would be upset. After all, it was only a White male. Surely the world would be better off if all White males were executed. We're nothing but a bunch of evil oppressors anyway. (/extreme and bitter sarcasm)

[Rose in RoseBear]

No more applause, I suspect, than would be garnered in an all-white neighborhood should some white men drive down the street with a homeless black man attached to the bumper.

Please refrain from such gross generalizations. Golems, like heroes, come in every skin color.

Gaaaa... and these people have the ability to procreate? Scary.

And.... subsidized by the GOVERNMENT you and me no less!!!!!!

[Dog Gone]

I hate to say this but think two words: jury nullification. I hope I'm wrong.

I think you are wrong. She's not going to get an OJ Jury in Texas. Even if they move the trial out of Ft. Worth, it's likely to be to an even tougher place for her to win.

Houston, which has a large black population, leads the nation in sending people to Death Row, and the race of the criminal isn't a factor. Moving the trial to West Texas would be funny, only because the jury would deliberate about 30 seconds before finding her guilty.

The other thing is that you're not seeing the poverty pimps rushing to her defense, at least not yet. This is pretty indefensible, and I'd be surprised if Jesse Jackson or others want to associate themselves with her.

So, the odds of a jury coming up with a not guilty verdict based on racial or political reasons is extremely remote.

Ms. Mallard and at least one friend

And the name&picture of THEM is WHERE????

[sneakypete]

. I could be wrong, but I'm not sure this woman would have sought help if the victim was black?

Good point. I'm not sure she would have,but I seriously doubt she would have been giggling about it at a party later on,or that all of her friends but one would have helped with the cover-up. If nothing else ,they would have dropped him off somewhere and made a anomonous call for a ambulance for him.

[homeschool mama]

He's white and she's black. Could we call this a hate crime? Grrrrr.

[Elsie]

believe one of the requirments for a charge of murder is still supreme indifference to human life

You must SURELY be WRONG!!

How ELSE can we explain ABORTION being legal in this country??

[Mercat]

Maybe this is off topic but I'll bet you $5 that this woman has had more than one abortion.

James Byrd was dead in a few minutes, this guy got to suffer for days.

I agree.

As horrible as the Byrd case was, they guy was dead within a short period of time.

This poor man had to deal with the excruciating pain of his broken bones, along with the glass enbedded into his body. Apparently, for days. Until he bled to death.

It reminds me of Medieval torture devices.

And she giggled while recounting the story....

[Steve0113]

I noticed the press has changed the spelling of this Girl Scout's name, from "Shantae" (is this the spelling on her birth certificate?), to "Chante". Could this be a deliberate ploy to make our Sunday School standout appear to be more cultured?

Doesn't look like it. In the link, the detective didn't know how her name was spelled until he looked up her vehicle registration (point #45). Thereafter, he spelled it correctly. The informant apparently didn't know the correct spelling, either. The detective simply spelled it phonetically.

Yesterday's Washington Times had it spelled correctly.
