You in a heap o’ trouble, boy! Another teacher caught raping a student.

As soon as I heard about this, checked all of the available articles, and, as usual, they all left out one pertinent bit of information.

Former Rowan County teacher appears in court after being arrested for alleged sexual relationship with a student

Christyan Cabera, 25, was a world history teacher at West Rowan High School. The district said he is no longer employed at the school.

ROWAN COUNTY, N.C. — A former West Rowan High School teacher was arrested for multiple sexual assault charges involving a 15-year-old student, authorities reported.

Christyan Cabrera, 25, was taken into custody on Thursday, and charged with statutory rape, statutory sex offense with a child, and committing a crime against nature. The Rowan County Sheriff’s Office said Cabrera was a world history teacher at the high school. Friday, he had his first appearance in court.

Deputies say Cabrera engaged in sexual intercourse and other sexual acts with the student inside an empty classroom between Jan. 9 and March 19. The incidents were first reported to the school’s resource officer on March 21.

Investigators obtained arrest warrants for multiple sexual offenses. Cabrera was booked into the Rowan County Detention Center under no bond, in accordance with the pre-trial integrity act.

During his court appearance, the prosecution requested that he not have contact with the victim and not go on Rowan-Salisbury school property. Both of those requests were approved by the judge. The prosecution also requested a $500,000 bond, while his defense attorney requested a $50,000 bond; he was ultimately given a $250,000 secured bond. Cabrera is not allowed to leave the state of North Carolina.

So, what was the pertinent piece of information excluded? Through several articles, all saying the same thing, we were not told whether the distinguished Mr Cabrera’s (alleged) victim was male or female. The closest thing I could find was on Yahoo! News:

Channel 9 spoke with a parent who had four boys in the district. She said cases like this made her want to homeschool them.

My impression was that the mother of the four boys had heard something, and saw her sons at risk for something like this. Does that confirm my initial suspicion that, whenever the sex of the (alleged) victim is concealed, the sexual abuse was homosexual in nature? No, it absolutely does not. But it’s unusual the way it was written, almost a backhand way of telling us more.

That thing that never happens has happened again

The murder of Laken Riley by José Antonio Ibarra, an illegal immigrant released into the US by Customs and Border Patrol during the Biden Administration because the surge in apprehended border crossers had worsened to a point where they did not have enough space at a detention facility to hold him, was a rare, rare event, certainly nothing over which to criticize our 46th President’s compassionate immigration policies. Such criticism was inflamed by the evil reich-wing former President Donald Trump, for political gain, don’t you know.

Detectives arrest a subject who sexually assaulted children.

Soft-peddling the Gangs of Philadelphia

Ellie Rushing, from her Twitter profile.

If there’s one thing of which no one can accuse Philadelphia Inquirer reporter Ellie Rushing it’s laziness. Her author profile states that her beat is “cover(ing) criminal justice and law enforcement in Philadelphia, including how crime and the court systems impact communities,” and there’s certainly plenty of that in foul, fetid, fuming, foggy, filthy Philadelphia.

Miss Rushing gave us a deep look into the West Philly gang Young Bag Chasers, about whom we have nine times previously noted. Despite the fact that we were reliably informed by the newspaper that there are no gangs in the city, just “cliques of young men affiliated with certain neighborhoods and families,” who sometimes had “beefs” with other cliques, and that we have previously reported that the newspaper really, really, really doesn’t like to refer to gangs as gangs, Miss Rushing, though using other descriptions occasionally for prosaic reasons, does refer to “YBC” as a gang occasionally.

But, sadly enough, in a very in-depth article, one that the research of which must have put the reporter in some physical danger, Miss Rushing gives us far too many excuses as to how and why the gang became a gang and the gang members became gang members. Continue reading →

Hold them accountable! When will we hold those who have enabled illegal immigration accountable for the violent crimes some illegals have committed?

That thing that never happens happened again! Another poor, hard-working, only-wanted-to-better-himself-and-his-family, illegal immigrant has been charged with serious crimes.

You in a heap o’ trouble, boy

Thanks to Stacey Matthews, who has been writing as Sister Toldjah for twenty years now — she ‘outed’ herself from her anonymity when a stalker ferreted out her identification and was getting ready to publish it — on RedState, I found this gem, from The Sacramento Bee:

No matter how much you hate the credentialed media, you do not hate them enough!

Upon seeing this tweet from Eyal Yakoby, I had to check the article to see if it was as bad as I suspected. In some ways, it really wasn’t, because most of it was based on the legal problems for José Ibarra’s defense, and the decision to seek a bench trial, a trial by a judge rather than a jury.

Laken Riley’s killer never stood a chance

For all the political controversy surrounding Jose Ibarra, the outcome of this trial was never in doubt.

By Danny Cevallos, MSNBC legal analyst | Thursday, November 21, 2024 | 7:07 PM EST

Jose Antonio Ibarra was convicted on multiple counts of murder Wednesday in the February killing of Georgia nursing student Laken Riley. Ibarra was immediately sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole, along with other consecutive sentences for lesser crimes, including aggravated assault with intent to rape and “peeping Tom.”

Riley’s murder became a political rallying cry at this summer’s Republican National Convention because Ibarra entered the country illegally in 2022. But for all the political controversy, the outcome of this trial was never in doubt.

Let’s hope he was locked up before he reproduced

Ameen Hurst, then 16. Click to enlarge.

Using Robert Stacy McCain’s formulation, say hello to Ameen Hurst, and while you’re at it, you can say goodbye as well.

However, unlike Mr McCain’s “say goodbye” bit, young Mr Hurst has not died due to his own stupidity. Rather, say goodbye because this teenaged killer was just sentenced to 55 to 110 years in prison.

Ameen Hurst sentenced to 55 to 110 years in prison for four murders, robberies as a teenager

Ameen Hurst was arrested at age 16 and charged with killing four people. He was sentenced to 55 to 110 years in prison on Thursday.

by Ellie Rushing | Thursday, November 14, 2024 | 4:00 PM EST

By the time Ameen Hurst becomes eligible for parole, he will be an elderly man — nearly three-quarters of the way to 100 years old, and nearly five times the age he was when he committed the crimes that landed him in prison.

For shooting and killing four people, robbing two convenience stores at gunpoint, and then escaping from prison while awaiting trial, Hurst was sentenced Thursday to 55 to 110 years in prison. The sentence surprised even veteran Philadelphia prosecutors — Hurst, after all, was just 16 when he committed the crimes.

Aspiring rapper update

The “aspiring rapper” headline of this article was inspired by my good friend Robert Stacy McCain’s series of the same name, which occurred to me when I saw the following article in The Philadelphia Inquirer:

Two more YBC rappers are accused of murder. One said he was at the shooting but didn’t fire a gun.

Rappers and YBC affiliates Quamere Hall, a.k.a. Mere Pablo, and Mark Johnson, a.k.a. Yak Yola, are facing murder charges.
by Ellie Rushing | Wednesday, November 14, 2024 | 4:58 PM EST

Quamere Hall doesn’t deny that he was at the scene of the slaying of Sharif King, his attorney said Wednesday — he just didn’t fire the guns that killed him.

His friend and fellow rapper Mark Johnson, on the other hand, is another story, Hall told detectives.

So, “fellow rappers” have no real loyalty to each other? Bit shocker there! Perhaps young Mr Hall’s lawyer should have told him that it doesn’t matter which one of them actually fired the gun; if they were engaged in the commission of another felony, they can both be convicted of second-degree murder in the Keystone State.
