I admit a fondness for podcasts. I can listen to them while I’m working at home. My regulars cover Chabad shows, politics, history, crime and mysteries. One of the ones I’ve been listening to lately is from a company called Golden State Media Concepts. I can’t actually find a website for the company. I listen to the shows on a podcast app. The one that got me hooked is Adventures By Morse. It was a radio show from the 1940s. The main hero seems to be Captain Bart Friday, and his sidekick is Skip Turner, from Texas. Captain Friday runs a detective agency as so far has taken cases in many parts of the world. Suddenly last week, right smack in the middle of all the mystery and intrigue, they put on a series of shows called Carlton E. Morse remembers. They have in interviewer asking him about the early days of another show he created, One Man’s Family.
One Man’s Family is an American radio soap opera, heard for almost three decades, from 1932 to 1959. Created by Carlton E. Morse, it was the longest-running uninterrupted dramatic serial in the history of American radio.[1] Television versions of the series aired in prime time from 1949 to 1952 and in daytime from 1954 to 1955
The first reading of the show was April 12, 1932. The Carlton E. Morse remembers series, maybe three shows? Covers who the sponsors were, and now I’m craving some Royal pudding, preferably in chocolate, who the cast was, how they dealt with things like some of the actors being called off to war, and actors being called off to war in real life. But in one of the segments, they looked back at some of the dialogue from the shows, and they say which year it was and who said the lines. I think they are well worth hearing in this day and age. The lines said are all relating to the importance of the family as a cornerstone of America and American life. The only way I could manage this was to download it and clip the relevant part out. To listen to it otherwise you need to have an account on one of the podcast platforms as it’s not on YouTube, though some of their other podcast series are, and as mentioned right now I can’t even find a webpage for Golden State Media Concepts. The whole clip is only 13 minutes long out of a well over an hour podcast. It starts with Mr. Morse talking about his idea on the importance of family, then going onto the clips. They will tell you what year each line was said.
Now in today’s world, I’ll look at the murder of Austin Metcalf. In particular the trial and the reactions of the murderer’s family and community. I’ll not comment that much, instead I’ll let the headlines speak for themselves.
Family of Convicted Killer Karmelo Anthony Pocketed $630k in Donations Before Fundraiser’s Closure
That’s money for the killer, not the victims family.
Convicted killer Karmelo Anthony’s family used fundraiser money for moving and living expenses
And yes, he had a public defender. Guess his parents couldn’t spare a house or car payment for a lawyer. Whatevs, just an observation.
“The only good cracker is a dead cracker,” a Karmelo Anthony supporter shouted.
Mind you all that took place before the verdict.
And then after 3 hours of deliberation the verdict was handed down, guilty of murder, not manslaughter. I’ve seen some videos on TimCast on Rumble where he talked about witness statements that Karmelo had the knife out before Austin even approached him. He had been asked to leave repeatedly and he had no business being there in the first place. So when Austin approached, shoved or not, the statement “See what I’ll do” and the fact many had observed him remove the knife and open it meant he was already prepared, he already planned to use it. Thus, murder not manslaughter was the correct charge.
And how did the murderer’s family and support system react? Mind you no where in any of this has anyone expressed any remorse, no one has expressed any condolences to the Metcalf family.
Here is what was expressed.
Jasmine “The Hoodrat” Crockett, “Broken System” – Crockett Defends Convicted Murderer Karmelo Anthony… Because He ‘Only’ Stabbed Austin Metcalf ‘One Time’
Wow, didn’t learn that one in my concealed carry class.
And along those lines, the somewhat predictable follow up in a post Barry Sotero America is…wait for it. Raaaaccisssissm!
Leftist Race Hustlers Enraged After Karmelo Anthony Verdict: ‘Lynched By An All-White Jury’
However, to perhaps no one’s shock except consumers of the mainstream media, aka “Fake News”. This is not true!
FACT CHECK: No, Karmelo Anthony’s Jury Was Not 12 White People
Of the 12 jurors, three were racial minorities, including Asian and Indian, eight were women and four were men. They confirmed that of the 18 total jurors, including alternates, six were minorities.
Much like the George Zimmerman trial where a Hispanic man suddenly became a “white Hispanic” to the media, and some outlets even lightened his image, I’m sure the Indians and Asians on the jury were surprised to learn they are suddenly white. Likewise the women might ought to feel fortunate they weren’t suddenly transed into “White Men”!
But I digress.
And why were there no blacks on the jury? Jason Whitlock, a black commentator explains, and tells why he’s pleased.
No black jurors selected for Karmelo Anthony trial — Jason Whitlock explains why he’s ‘overjoyed’
“I am overjoyed there are no black people on this jury,” he says unapologetically. “I don’t want anybody on this jury that’s sitting there thinking about, ‘I gotta do the black thing,’ or ‘I hear the facts different because I’m black.’”
….
He insists there is no need for “a black perspective” in this murder case — only “a justice perspective.”
“American black people,” Whitlock argues, “seem to struggle to take the racial lens off of how they see things.”
White people, he notes, can struggle with this too, but it is “more pronounced” in the black community.
….
“When I was reading some of the answers that some of the jurors gave, such as it would be hard for me to convict a brother … those aren’t the type of answers that you give if you really want to be considered,” she says, referring to the black male prospective juror who was struck after he said he would “have a hard time putting a brother in jail.”
And what has been the result of the murderer’s family and supporters stirring up this racial hatred? Not shocking.
Yesterday, I came across a video in which a black man films himself riding down the street on a bicycle, reportedly in Florida, before he pulls over where a white man is sitting on the ground talking to a white woman while they appear to be waiting for a bus. Out of nowhere and without provocation, the black man punches the seated white man in the head, accusing him of being part of the “jury selection” for the Karmelo Anthony trial; he also says to the white man, who is a veteran, “you gonna die.”
The Anthony trial was in Texas.
This was a black woman, again in Florida, and despite two attacks on two innocent people, the trial was actually held in Texas.
This one has turned in it’s human card a long time ago.
And after reading all this, you will understand why I found those lines from One Man’s Family so very poignant. Carlton E. Morse was a prophet of sorts. As you look at the family of Karmelo Anthony, and the murderer himself and his supporters, something has gone horribly wrong. The family was meant to be a cornerstone of American life, and as the family decays, so does the culture of our country.
And with that, I will leave you with the latest newscast from The Babylon Bee, who occasionally flies very very close to the truth.
