TSP #107 - The Wheels of Injustice: When Public Agencies Protect Alleged Predators...

from True Sunlight · host LUNASHARK

Why Did It Take So Long to Arrest An SC Lawmaker Charged With Distributing Videos of Men Raping Babies?   Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell are accustomed to being disgusted by politicians who happily take part in the Good Ole Boy system when it comes to protecting bad actors from taking accountability. But this latest case has them screaming with anger.  Last month, South Carolina state Rep. Robert John “RJ” May III was arrested and charged with 10 federal counts of distributing child sex abuse materials. So why is it taking so long for RJ May to be removed from office? Why was there so much hesitation and delay before arresting him? And why was his case given to two agencies that had very personal ties to him?  Mandy and Liz explore the answers to those questions, as well as the biggest question of all: Why aren’t men accused of perpetuating such vile and heinous abuse of children — including babies — not seen as immediate potential threats to society?  Plus, (24:30) Part Two of our real-time coverage of the Scott Spivey shooting (AKA the Horry County Police Department corruption case) about Weldon Boyd’s star witness, Witness No. 1. Mandy and Liz continue connecting the dots and digging into the inconsistencies in witness testimony and have found themselves at a complete loss for why the South Carolina Attorney General’s Office continues to refuse to appoint a special prosecutor to the state’s biggest “Stand Your Ground” case.  Let’s dive in! 🥽🦈 Episode References Walking With Stephen Memorial Event Sign Up 💚 Mandy’s FB Post on SC House Ethics Inquiry on RJ May 🌐 “How internet sex crime hunters snared SC State Rep.

Wisdom's Proof JesusLifeTogether In a world of religion, ritual, hierarchy, control, money, marketing, and more flavors than 10,000 Baskin Robbins — how can we know what is Right and True? Some just give up. Bad move. JESUS LIVES and REIGNS! Some simply "go along to get along" to conform to culture and biological family. Really bad move, unless you are a lemming and don't care about the destiny someone else has chosen for you. But then JESUS, knowing this day would come, said, "By their fruit you shall know them" and "Wisdom is PROVED RIGHT by all her CHILDREN." Luke 7:35 Find some random offspring from whatever you wish you knew more about, look carefully at the second generation, and see if the gates of Hell are prevailing — as they would in a "mere words" and "mere ceremonies" attendance-based religious organization. OR, is satan getting busted in the mouth by that second generation? What is the fruit and the quality of LIVES of the children - once they can make their own choices? Then you'll Know. Wisdom is PROVED
