Braddock subsequently fled to Thailand and eventually settled in the Philippines.

Authorities detained him in Manila in 2023, and he was then transported to Los Angeles for trial before a federal district judge.

His charge carried a maximum sentence of five years in prison.

Prosecutors didn’t think of adding charges because he fled the country?

You think we’re going to kill you just because you killed our people? The killing mentality is in your head. We don’t have a killing mentality. We have a mentality of justice and peace. The only thing we’re not prepared to do is to prioritize peace over justice. There must be justice first, before there is peace…We don’t owe white people an apology. Black people, stop apologizing to whites. They are the ones owing us an apology. You have done too much damage to black people, who are unemployed because of you, who are dying of diseases because of you, who are illiterate because of you, who are addicted to drugs because of you. You owe us a lot. You must show remorse and stop behaving like crybabies. South African democracy is going to be built by a robust debate, particularly when it comes to race relations. We must stop deceiving each other. The poor meant black. The rich meant white. For as long as that has not been resolved, there will be a permanent problem between the poor and the rich.

You could buy a top of the line tent glamping set up for a small fraction of that.

To be fair, if they could get AI to do that, they could sell off that technology before they go under.

This is the typical GOP healthcare plan - promise a great deal, but deliver nothing.
