Growing Controversy Surrounds Shiloh Hendricks Case and Navy Officer’s Threats
We are closely following significant developments in the Shiloh Hendricks case, which continues to spark intense debate and reveal what we see as widespread hypocrisy. Our reporting also highlights a disturbing incident involving a US Navy officer caught on tape making serious threats.
Regarding the Shiloh Hendricks situation, we find that there is no shortage of “hot takes”. Shiloh herself has characterized herself as a victim, reporting that she has been doxed and harassed, had child protective services called on her, and that her personal information, including her address and phone number, has allegedly been leaked. Shiloh set up a fundraising page titled “Help me protect my family,” stating she is in a dire situation after a child allegedly stole from her 18-month-old son’s diaper bag at a park and that her family members are now being attacked. This fundraising effort has seen substantial support, with the page reportedly reaching almost $700,000, and recently exceeding $700,000. Initially, the amount reached over $600,000 as of Sunday, May 4th.
We note the intense reactions to this fundraising effort. Figures like Charlemagne, whom we describe as a moron, have given their takes while ignoring their own hypocrisy. Charlemagne reportedly issued a blistering message criticizing Americans donating money to Shiloh for allegedly using a “mean word”. He frames the backlash against Shiloh as “accountability culture” rather than “cancel culture”. We disagree, arguing that accountability feels like an attack to Shiloh because she allegedly used a word toward a young boy. We believe Charlemagne is pro-cancel culture and views doxxing, calling CPS, and leaking personal information over a word as “accountability”. While Charlemagne reportedly states he spells America with three K’s because of the KKK, we argue that this specific situation is not about race. As one commentator observed, Shiloh represents the “final boss of cancel culture”. Some question why people are trying to ruin her life over a single word said in a moment of frustration. We sincerely hope that Shiloh becomes a millionaire through this fundraising and advocate for future targets of similar cancellation efforts to also raise significant funds as a countermeasure.
We observe that the word in question is used within the black community “all the time”. While we acknowledge the history associated with the word, we argue that no one currently alive had great-great-great-great grandparents who were either slave owners or slaves. In our opinion, the power attributed to this word is primarily used to control white people. We believe it is used in the black community to excuse unacceptable behavior, such as that displayed by the Navy officer we discuss or the Dunkin Donuts employee who allegedly took a man’s life over a word, in which case the judge reportedly issued a remarkably light sentence.
Separately, a US Navy officer has been identified on tape. This officer, whose patch indicates he is on ship CVN76, has reportedly called for Shiloh Hendricks to lose her life, stating that people like her “deserve a bullet”. We view this as a very serious matter and believe he should be immediately removed from the military. We characterize this specific call for someone to lose their life “over a word” as fragility.
We also want to address claims about the child involved in the initial park incident. While Shiloh claims the child stole from her son’s diaper bag, we question the narrative that the child is five years old or autistic. We have seen no verification of these claims from parents or any other source, leading us to believe these details may have simply been fabricated. We also note that the presence of the random Somali individual who filmed the incident is mentioned, but the identity of the child’s parents remains unknown.
Regarding the legal aspect, police have reportedly completed their investigation into the incident. On May 5th, the Rochester Police Department announced they finished their investigation into the “disturbing video” and shared their findings with the Rochester City Attorney’s Office for consideration of charging decisions. We fundamentally question what law Shiloh Hendricks could possibly have broken and see no valid grounds for a police investigation or potential charges. We believe attempting to charge her would be complete nonsense.
We draw comparisons to other fundraising efforts that have not faced similar outrage. We note that nearly $1 million was raised for Luigi Manion, who has reportedly now exceeded $1.03 million towards a $1.5 million goal. We find it significant that there was no reported outrage regarding this individual, described as a coldblooded killer, raising funds. Similarly, Carmelo Anthony has reportedly raised $525,000 after taking someone’s life. We see no reported issue within the black community concerning this, nor videos suggesting he deserved consequences. We question if Charlemagne has a problem with Carmelo Anthony raising money after admitting to taking a kid’s life or with his family claiming they are being attacked, suggesting he does not.
We believe these situations highlight a disturbing double standard and the intense efforts to cancel individuals over perceived slights while ignoring more serious issues.
