Thug Charged w/Murder of 4-Year-Old Girl Had Been Arrested 6 Times
3 comments
Pro-crime policies work. This is the result.
A 4-year-old girl has died from injuries sustained in an incident at a Raleigh hotel. Subsequently, a man has been charged in connection with her death.
Milton Ray Horton, Jr. was charged with murder. Horton, 27, was arrested by Raleigh police.
Around 4:30 on Sunday morning, Raleigh police arrived at the Candlewood Suites hotel on Lead Mine Road to find the child seriously hurt. Police said she suffered severe injuries and later died at a hospital.
WRAL did an extensive search Horton and learned he’s been arrested six times as an adult in Wake County – for crimes like breaking and entering, resisting a public officer and trespassing.
There are always warning signs. Some are more obvious than others.
A sane society pays attention to those warning signs and has mechanisms for triggering them. Those triggers save us from worse consequences.
Then Democrats and some Republicans decided that it was time to dismantle the criminal justice system and policing while calling it reform. The more the system was taken apart, the worse crime got, and the harder activists fought to decriminalize crime. The pettier stuff escalated into much worse incidents because the system was no longer functioning and the criminals had gotten the message. Repeat offenders were never locked up allowing them to escalate to worse things, and the sheer critical mass of violence broke the justice system even further.
A few incidents make the news, but mostly they get ignored. And people get the message. Even if they're dumb enough to vote for pro-crime politicians, they still start buying guns, learning all over again to be wary, and to live in a profoundly dangerous world.
That awareness is very slow to penetrate elite political and cultural circles who hear a lot about Makhia Brown, not about Elijah LaFrance.
A 3-year-old boy was killed when gunfire erupted at a children’s birthday party in a Miami suburb—unleashing shock and outrage from community members, politicians and celebrities.
Investigators are still searching for the person who shot Elijah LaFrance when an altercation at a short-term rental in Golden Glades turned violent on Saturday night.
Elijah isn’t the first child caught in the crossfire at a party in Miami-Dade. In January, 6-year-old Chaussidy Sanders was killed at one. Last year, 7-year-old Alana Washington was killed in a drive-by shooting.
“As a father and as a member of this community, I am completely devastated. I’m disgusted,” Miami-Dade Police Director Freddy Ramirez told reporters at the scene.
“We talk about accountability. When are we going to hold ourselves accountable for what’s going on in our streets each and every day? This is ridiculous.”
When the elites and the media cares as much about children killed by criminals as they do about criminals killed by cops.
24 Shot, 3 Dead, over the Weekend in Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s Chicago
Twenty-four people were shot, three fatally, over the weekend in Mayor Lori Ligthfoot’s (D) Chicago.
ABC 7 / Chicago Sun Times reported that the first fatality occurred Friday night around 10:30 p.m., at which time police found a 27-year-old lying on the sidewalk with multiple gunshot wounds. He was found “in the 900-block of West 61st Street” and pronounced dead at the scene.
The second fatality took place just before 10:30 p.m. Saturday, as a 30-year-old woman sat in her vehicle “in Roseland on the Far South Side.” Someone fired shots, striking her multiple times. She was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead.
The third fatality occurred at 12:30 a.m. on Sunday morning in Humboldt Park. Thirty-six-year-old Duntae Manuel was sitting in a vehicle when someone walked up and opened fire, fatally wounding him.
On April 23, 2021, Breitbart News noted that over 900 people had already been shot in Chicago by that point in the year.
The Chicago Tribune explained that 907 people were shot January 1, 2021, through April 19, 2021. That figure represented fatal and non-fatal shooting victims combined and was an increase of 214 shooting victims over the same time in 2020.

Fact Check: Oscar Winner Claims Police Killings Happen ‘Disproportionately’ to Black People
CLAIM: An Oscar winner on Sunday used his acceptance speech to criticize law enforcement, claiming that fatal police shootings happen “disproportionately” to black people.
VERDICT: MOSTLY FALSE. Police shot and killed 1,021 people in 2020 with white people accounting for 44 percent of those deaths, more than any other racial group. Blacks accounted for 23 percent of those deaths. That percentage has held steady since at least 2017.
Filmmaker Travon Free, who shared the Academy Award for the live-action short film Two Distant Strangers, made the claim during Sunday’s live Oscars broadcast from Union Station in downtown Los Angeles.
“On average, the police in America every day kill three people, which amounts to about a thousand people a year. And those people happen to be disproportionately black people,” he said. “So I just ask that you please not be indifferent. Please don’t be indifferent to our pain.”

The filmmaker may have been referring to the fact that black people account for 13.4 percent of the U.S. population, while fatal police shooting victims are 23 percent black.
But it is also true blacks tend to commit crimes at disproportionately high levels, accounting for approximately 60 percent of robberies and 53 percent of homicides in 2018.
