“Nope, Never Heard of Her”


Sometimes I wonder why I do not read about certain stories in the paper or hear about them on TV. Could it be that some stories are just not interesting enough to publicize or could it be that some of these stories are squelched because they do not seem to go along with some preconceived narratives?

Last night it did not take long for me to come across these two following stories by pure serendipity. I was not looking for them.

Note that neither involves the action of an alleged racist white cop on an innocent black victim. Perhaps, just maybe, that’s why the Main Stream Media is not interested in either of them . . . obviously idle speculation on my part?

Let’s start out with Jaslyn Adams who was shot and killed on 4/18. 

Does that name ring any bells? . . . Thought not.

She was in a car with a man, who was seriously wounded, and underwent successful emergency surgery for his gunshot wound. However, Ms. Adams, who sustained multiple gunshot wounds was not as fortunate, and did not survive despite being rushed to the local trauma center in the back of the police SUV squad car. 

Joslyn Adams did not take drugs, and her Fentanyl level was not out of sight high, but zero. She was African American, and no, BLM did not march down the streets of Chicago to protest her death.

Joslyn was in first grade . . . she was seven years old!

“Never heard of her,” you say. 

What about Nyaira Givens? Does that name ring any bells? … Thought not.

Cincinnati police said Ms. Givens was stabbed to death on 4/19 during a fight near the family’s home on Topridge Place. Investigators said she was taken to the hospital where she died after the stabbing. 

No, Nyaira Givens was not seven years old . . . she was thirteen, and was stabbed by another thirteen year old. As opposed to a similar situation on 4/20 in Columbus, Ohio, Nyaiira Givens was not fortunate enough to have a police officer shoot her knife-wielding assailant.

FYI: Yes, Nyairia Givens was African American . . . and no, BLM did not march up and down the streets of Cincinnati to protest her death.

“Nope, never heard of her,” you say.

I ask myself two questions:

How many more similar “nope, never heard of her” stories could I find if I was actually looking for them?

How many times does BLM march in their memory?
