An 11 year old girl is in prison
Yes, she is Black
Hiii, I worked out this morning and drank a kale smoothie for breakfast. Watch out, world, I’m about to be unstoppable. Today I’m sharing my feelings about a Black girl being imprisoned for obstruction of justice. Onto the news…
News that made me share my tween crush
An 11 year old girl is currently being held at Lafayette Juvenile Detention Center in Louisiana for obstructing justice. The organizers demanding her release are asking how an 11 year old can obstruct justice and I have the exact same question. Did she throw crayons at the cops? If she did, she probably had her reasons. Never saw a cop who didn’t deserve to have crayons thrown at them. Did she leave her juice box at a crime scene? I’m asking because what type of world do we live in where we are sending children to prison.
It’s a world where racism is legal and low rise jeans might be coming back. I know low rise jeans should be at the bottom of my list of concerns, but I was very triggered when someone informed me they are trying to rear their ugly head. I just wanted to warn you if you didn’t know already. Hold on tight to your high rise jeans because they might stop selling them soon and you will have to live in constant fear of having people see your butt.
Now stop worrying about people seeing your butt and focus on the topic at hand. The 11 year old girl who has been incarcerated for over 140 days is a Black girl. Of course she’s a Black girl. When you imagine a little girl being imprisoned, you don’t imagine young Dakota Fanning. There is a higher likelihood of Joe Biden developing a soul than there is for a white girl being kidnapped and imprisoned for months by the state.
The girl was initially charged with murder, but the charges were dropped to obstruction of justice in a plea deal. Based on the plea deal, she’ll serve seven years in prison. The girl didn’t kill anyone, but also she’s 11 YEARS OLD. My apologies, I’m trying to give a thoughtful analysis of this news but I just can’t get over the fact that an 11 year old is being sentenced to prison! When I was 11, I was a WWE fan and I thought it was real. I had a huge crush on Shawn Michaels and I thought Booker T, the wrestler, was related to Booker T. Washington. Someone who is capable of these thoughts should not ever be put in a cage for any reason.
Actually no one should ever be put in a cage for anything. I do not have the time to go into depth of how prisons actually don’t solve societal ills. I do have time to say this though. If prisons were actually here to keep us safe from dangerous people, how come Benjamin Netanyahu, Joe Biden, and the entire IOF are running around freely? The most dangerous people are not in prison, they are running countries and hosting podcasts. I’m talking about you Joe Rogan. I’ve actually never listened to Joe’s podcast, but enough toxic men have quoted him for me to assume it’s bad.
The girl’s family is rallying at the Iberia Parish Courthouse on May 8th to rally for her release. If you are in Louisiana and are able to attend, please join them.
That’s it for the news but don’t go yet
Here’s a video of me asking people at my show whether they are anarchists.

Your favorite anarchist comedian/poet/social critic,
The way things are going soon we'll have fetuses being imprisoned for kicking their mothers in their uteruses. Only black kids that is. Ugghhhh! This is disgusting.
