Ms. Frago may have been committing the criminal act of prostitution and later robbery, but her john, Mr. Gilbert, was in the act of committing a crime also; the solicitation of a prostitute, and during this act he also killed someone by firing an AK-47 assault rifle into a fleeing vehicle, hitting Ms. Frago four times in the neck. She spent the next few months as a quadriplegic and was treated for severe, constant pain before she died. In many states, solicitation is a felony and, if anyone is killed during the commission of that felony, the perp gets charged with murder. Mr. Gilbert would have gone down for felony murder. It is incredible that he got off completely, not even drawing a manslaughter charge. (What the hell is a 28 year-old guy soliciting prostitutes for? Jesus. What is wrong with him? Isn’t this usually the purview of greasy middle-aged bastards with pinky rings?)
I just saw a report from Jasper, TX. This is the place where, just a couple of years ago, three rednecks chained a black man to the back of their pickup and dragged him for miles until his head tore away and there was nothing but a bloody torso left. A couple of days ago two cops beat the living hell out of a black woman because she was on the station phone too long trying to get bail money from her mother. Broken teeth, concussion, dislocated shoulder, 6 months in jail for resisting arrest with violence. Written complaints were buried. Video was denied. Finally a councilman came to her rescue. Reportage on this incident brought out what has been happening in Jasper since the dragging/lynching incident. Place is and always has been an unapologetic racist hell hole from the police administration on down, according to a city councilman.
