This Lunatic DA Keeps Releasing Violent Black Criminals. Innocent Women Are Paying The Price.

Diquan Hunt is a name you won’t find anywhere in the pages of The New York Times, The Washington Post, USA Today, or The Atlantic magazine. 

He’s never been mentioned by Reuters, Axios, or the Associated Press. You also won’t come across Hunt’s name if you get your news from CNN, CBS, NBC, or ABC. 

In short, there is no mainstream media interest in Diquan Hunt whatsoever. And there never will be.

What makes Hunt so inconvenient for the media censors — the people who would prefer to bury all evidence of his crimes — is that he has an Instagram account. And on that Instagram account, over the past few days, Hunt has posted several livestreams in which he assaults women on the street in Charlotte, North Carolina. 

He has been broadcasting, in graphic detail, his deranged and unprovoked attacks on female bystanders going about their day. Here’s one of them, posted on July 29, in which he rants about McDonald’s before chasing a white woman into traffic, as he threatens to harm her.

The next day, Hunt — having somehow not been jailed after the incident we just watched — livestreamed another attack, where he came across a woman holding a “get well soon” balloon. He immediately punches her and knocks her unconscious on the pavement — an injury that clearly has the potential to be fatal. As he stands over the woman’s body, he taunts her and screams about killing people. 

It’s important to understand the reality of what’s happening. These are not “random” attacks, despite what you may have heard. First of all, Hunt specifically targeted defenseless and unsuspecting women (who were not black). And secondly, these attacks were engineered, at a policy level, by the black DA in Charlotte, whose name is Spencer Merriweather. 

In both of those respects, these attacks resemble the slaughter of Iryna Zarutska on the light rail system in Charlotte, just a short drive away from where these livestreams were recorded. 

Like Decarlos Brown, the black psychopath who killed Zarutska, Hunt made sure that he wasn’t ambushing anyone who could fight back. For all the talk about how “crazy” these barbarians are, somehow, they’re always very particular about the kinds of people they try to murder. You’ll notice that they rarely target anyone who appears to have the physical capacity to fight back. They’re “crazy,” and yet choose their targets carefully. How does that work? Nobody can explain, or cares to explain. 

And secondly, like Decarlos Brown, Hunt had a criminal history so extensive, and so obviously incompatible with life in a civilized society, that he should’ve been executed years ago. 

Neither one of these animals should’ve been allowed anywhere near the public. Both of them benefited from the fact that Democrats in positions of authority, always and everywhere, release violent criminals from prison as quickly as possible — as long as they’re not white. We’ll discuss Merriweather at some length as well as Hunt’s criminal history. But let’s start with this. Look at these two images:

These two images should be iconic. They tell the story. Not just the story of the crime problem in Charlotte — although they do tell that story. But also the story of American society in modern times. 

On the left: a young woman, who had been cheerful and happy, apparently on her way to visit a sick friend or relative. 

On the right: a degenerate black man, unstable and volatile and disturbed, with more than a dozen prior arrests, wandering around the streets, rambling nonsensically, angry for no reason, brutally assaulting any woman he comes across. 

The two happen to cross paths. The woman waves at the man. The man answers by savagely assaulting her. And this is the aftermath.

For years now, our laws and institutions have dedicated themselves to protecting, coddling, and indulging the person on the right, often at the immediate expense of the person on the left. 

It would not overstate the case to say that our system made a choice — it chose to trade the person on the left for the person on the right. It was decided that the person on the right must be free, must be comfortable, must be cared for and fed and clothed, literally no matter what the cost. 

If the cost is crime and disorder, if the cost is the breakdown of the social fabric, if the cost is the death of countless innocents — no cost is too high. Any price must be paid simply to keep the person on the right — the chronically dysfunctional, violent, anti-social black criminal — alive and free and walking the streets. 

A functional society organizes itself the opposite way. The priority is protecting the person on the left — the innocent woman (or child or man). While the person on the right — the malevolent, maladjusted criminal — is rightly seen as having no value to society, a net negative, a problem to be solved. 

And you solve it by throwing this person in a cage forever and forgetting that he ever existed. Or, if his crimes warrant a harsher response — and in this guy’s case they do — you give him a fair trial, convict him according to the laws of the land, and then promptly execute him and bury him in a grave that nobody will ever visit, because he has no friends, and no family that loves him. 

You only have to ask yourself a simple question. And the answer to this question should determine your position on issues of so-called criminal justice. The question is this: Of these two people, which one would you rather have walking around your neighborhood? You can’t say both. If you want the person on the right walking around, that means it’s not safe for the person on the left. This is a zero-sum game. So which would you prefer? 

If you are a sane person, and you say that obviously you’d prefer to live in a neighborhood where the person on the left is walking around, that means the person on the right, and every depraved, vicious predator like him, must be removed from society. That is what a functional society does. A functional society gives all the benefit, all the leeway, all the priority, to the person on the left. But we don’t live in a functional society anymore.

Instead, prosecutors are flat-out refusing to prosecute degenerate criminals. Matt Van Swol, who used to work at the Department of Energy, obtained all the court records for Diquan Hunt, going back more than a decade. 

So this criminal record begins when he’s 18. We can assume, with 100% certainty, that his juvenile record is extensive as well. But it’s all been expunged because during the “civil rights era,” our elites determined that it’s racist to keep track of crimes overwhelmingly committed by black teenagers. Specifically, in 1967, a commission set up by LBJ recommended that every state pass a law preventing the public from accessing the criminal records of juveniles.

There was never any logic behind this move. If someone with a name like “Diquan Hunt,” hypothetically, assaults dozens of people from the age of 12 to 17, there’s no doubt that he’s going to be a threat to the public for the rest of his life. It’s absurd to believe that, the moment he turns 18, he’s going to somehow “mature” and “grow out of it.” 

You know how many crimes are committed by normal teenagers, who actually have a future in society? Very few. A normal teenager — going through a phase of normal teenage rebellion — may get himself into trouble for relatively petty infractions. But if a teenager is prowling around, committing serious, brutal, perverse, and horrifying crimes, then he will almost certainly continue to commit such crimes — and worse — as an adult. 

The fact is, habitual criminal behavior as a teenager is the single best predictor of habitual criminal behavior as an adult. And it’s precisely for that reason — not in spite of it — that civil rights activists prevent the public from seeing juvenile records. 

So with that in mind, here’s Diquan Hunt’s criminal record, past the age of 18, which is the arbitrary date that we’re suddenly allowed to keep track.

The reason for all the dismissals, obviously, has nothing to do with a lack of evidence. You don’t get arrested six times when there’s no case against you. What happened here is that prosecutors in Charlotte made the determination that it would be racist to send Diquan Hunt to prison. They believe, as a matter of policy, that black people can victimize anyone they want — especially white women — as a form of reparations.

If you don’t believe that, consider the following statements from one of Hunt’s recent victims, who was attacked in December of 2025. 

The man recently spoke to a local news station, WBTV, which granted him anonymity because he’s still in fear of his life. According to this individual and court records, Hunt approached him at the light rail station located near the Spectrum Center in Charlotte. Hunt was committing a crime simply by being there. He had already been banned by the Charlotte Area Transit System. But on this occasion, in addition to trespassing, Hunt was looking to terrorize the general public. 

He was armed with a gun, a knife, and a hatchet. Seeing the man, Hunt lifted up his shirt and asked, “Are you ready to die today?” The man froze for a moment before escaping. Police arrested Hunt, and he was charged with four misdemeanors — including assault with a deadly weapon — which apparently is a misdemeanor in the dystopian hellscape of Charlotte. In just a few months, on March 18, Hunt accepted a plea deal from prosecutors for “assault with a deadly weapon and carrying a concealed weapon.” He was sentenced to time served, meaning he didn’t have to spend any additional time in prison. This is from WBTV, reporting on the circumstances of the plea deal:

Hunt had been in the Mecklenburg County jail for 89 days since his arrest three months earlier on December 18, 2025. He was released the day of his sentencing. “I had to go to court in March for my incident and they gave him basically a slap on the wrist,” the man said. He said he spoke with the District Attorney’s office before sentencing. “They pulled me into a room and basically said that they felt he had been punished enough and were giving him time served,” he said. “I was shocked, but what am I going to say to the D.A.? I tried to put my two cents in and they didn’t want to hear that.” When asked what he would say to the DA and judge now, the man said: “This is on their hands. I think they owe everyone an apology. They need to lock these people up. It’s time to stop giving people a pass.”

So there it is. The prosecutors determined that Hunt “had been punished enough” because he spent 89 days in the county jail while awaiting trial. 

This is someone who, by this point, had multiple prior arrests for attacking women in public, all of which the DA dismissed. He’s violated multiple domestic violence protective orders, which means he’s terrorizing women even after he’s been explicitly told by a court to stay away from them. And again, the DA dropped all of those charges. 

And now, after threatening to murder a man while armed with a hatchet and a firearm on public property that already banned him from the premises, the DA’s conclusion is that 89 days in jail is enough of a sentence. The time he spent in jail because he couldn’t make bail — which he would’ve had to spend anyway, guilty or not — is his “punishment.”

It should be abundantly clear based on this reporting alone that we need to get rid of the idea of criminals getting credit for “time served.” It needs to be abolished. If you’re in county jail awaiting trial, it means there’s probable cause to believe you committed a crime, and you couldn’t make bail (even with the help of a bail bondsman). That’s too bad. But you’re not in prison. Depending on the charges, you might even be at home, sitting on your couch with an ankle monitor that doesn’t actually work and that no one ever checks. 

Really, even if you were in prison for the whole period of time you’re awaiting trial, it still doesn’t matter. You’re not being punished for the crime you committed. You’re in a holding pattern until your guilt can be adjudicated. 

If you’re convicted after a trial, you have no argument whatsoever that your pretrial detention should somehow count towards your sentence. 

Imagine if anything else worked like this. Let’s say that, during the next fake pandemic, you’re forced to stay in quarantine for two weeks after landing at the airport, while they test your saliva or whatever. And then, when the results finally come back, you’re informed that, unfortunately, you tested positive for Ebola, COVID, monkeypox, and measles, all rolled into one. You’re a walking superspreader. 

You’re far more dangerous than anyone thought. Then the doctors say, “Oh, don’t worry about it, normally you’d have to spend two weeks in the hospital to treat this, but because you already spent a while waiting for your results, you’re good to go. You get credit for all that time we had you in quarantine.”

This is how our “Criminal justice system” works, or doesn’t work. It’s an absurdity that plays out every day. And in this case, it’s actually even worse, because Diquan Hunt’s family was begging prosecutors — and anyone else who would listen — to lock him up for as long as possible. They understand that he’s a rabid beast, and he’s going to kill someone eventually. But they were ignored.

We can’t show the DA’s face enough. Every victim of Diquan Hunt — and there are quite a few of them — should be able to hold Spencer Merriweather personally responsible for everything that happened to them. Spencer Merriweather belongs in prison. He’s responsible for the murder of Iryna Zarutska, and he’s responsible for this woman getting brain damage on the sidewalk. And those are just the high-profile cases we know about. The DA wants violent black criminals to go free so that they can terrorize more innocent people.

This was always Merriweather’s platform, just like it’s the platform of every Democrat prosecutor. For context, here’s one of Merriweather’s campaign videos when he was running for DA. Watch how quickly he pivots from the idea of “putting criminals in jail”:

No, actually. Justice does mean putting criminals in prison. That’s your entire job. That’s how you treat “survivors” with “dignity and respect.” You’re not a therapist. You’re not anybody’s friend. Your only responsibility is to go to court, present the evidence, and secure convictions so that dangerous criminals are placed in cages for as long as possible. 

If you have a DA candidate in your city who says anything else — if he starts deploying this social justice rhetoric — then you shouldn’t vote for him under any circumstances. “Respect for the victims”, in reality, means that the DA will privately tell the victims that the criminal has suffered enough in jail, and he needs to be released, even though you’re his 50th victim of the month, and he just threatened to behead you with a hatchet on the train platform.

This is, without exaggeration, how things work now in North Carolina. You might remember this story from back in March.

Watch:

🚨#BREAKING: Horrifying video footage has emerged from Charlotte NC of a man attempting to RUN OVER A POLICE OFFICER WITH HIS GUN DRAWN, trying to avoid arrest.

WHAT IS HAPPENING IN CHARLOTTE?!!!!!!!! pic.twitter.com/MQFt9gKKJQ

— Matt Van Swol (@mattvanswol) March 2, 2026

A 25-year-old woman named Tanaezah Michelle Austin allegedly ran over a police officer who was trying to break up a street takeover in northwest Charlotte around 3:25 a.m. The footage was recorded and uploaded to the Internet, as you can see there. She mows the officer down in her Kia. And yet, she got out of jail just a few hours after her arrest on a $3,000 bond, which is obviously comically low. Afterwards, according to Van Swol, she “HAD ALL CHARGES DISMISSED BY A JUDGE FOR HITTING YET ANOTHER MAN WITH HER CAR!!!!!”

Unsurprisingly, here are a couple of the magistrate judges that Van Swol found were involved in these decisions.

They’re on the right. Their names are Williams-McNair and Felicia Wilson, both Democrats. They set this woman free on $3,000 and $10,000 bonds for nearly killing two men with her vehicle, including a police officer. Let’s also address the elephant in the room. Both of these judges are black. Spencer Merriweather, the DA, is black.

Very often, in a huge number of cases, the judges and DAs responsible for letting violent black criminals go free are black, and if they aren’t black, then they’re white liberal women. Racial tribalism is the dominant way of resolving legal issues, especially in the cities, which are all controlled by Democrats. It’s primitive, it’s barbaric, and it’s illegal. But if you live in these cities, that’s what you’re facing. 

When liberals are trying to explain the mythological concept of “white privilege,” they’ll often say that although a white person may be disadvantaged in some ways, it will never be because they’re white. Black people are always disadvantaged because they’re black. Here’s a BBC video elucidating this point.

Watch:

Of course, as we’ve seen, the reality is precisely the opposite. To bring it back to the subject at hand, black criminals in this country are routinely given light sentences or no sentence at all, or their charges are dropped entirely, because they’re black. This happens constantly. Untold numbers of innocent civilians have been brutalized and killed so that black criminals can walk free — because they’re black. Whereas white criminals, if they get similar soft treatment — and sometimes they do — it won’t be because they’re white. Spencer Merriweather is not going to cut a white criminal a break because of his skin color. 

The upshot is that, no matter who you are — white or black — you’re not safe from the degenerates that these judges and DAs are letting out of prison. Here’s another case from Charlotte, from just a few months ago. A pregnant woman was getting her toddler out of her car around 11:30 a.m. at a supermarket — in the nice side of town — when a black woman approached and started stabbing her. 

Watch: 

They say it’s “random” and they won’t tell you anything about the victim so you can draw your own conclusions. But when the black suspect was finally apprehended, once again, she had a very lengthy criminal history. This is from Fox News: 

Records show she has nine prior convictions — six felonies and three misdemeanors — largely tied to theft-related offenses, along with more recent felony convictions for firearm possession and misconduct while in custody. She was most recently released from prison in April 2025 and completed post-release supervision in January 2026.

After nine prior convictions, including six felonies, the judicial system in Charlotte determined that a few months of “post-release supervision” was all she needed. Well, actually, she needed to be removed from society, permanently. 

Think of how many people you know in life who have six felony convictions. If you even know someone like that — and you probably don’t — would you want to live anywhere near them? Would you want your family living anywhere near them? Of course not. It’s absurd. They’re dangerous, evil, unstable people. And for that reason, no one in the public should ever have to interact with them again. But in this case, a pregnant woman had to deal with this woman. And she and her child nearly died because of it.

Then there’s the case of 29-year-old black man David Simpson in Charlotte. He posted bond shortly after midnight, then committed murder less than 90 minutes later. This is, again, someone with an extensive criminal history, including previous charges for first-degree murder, as well as a conviction for voluntary manslaughter. This is from the local news station WCNC:

A man accused of killing one person and injuring another in an east Charlotte apartment complex shooting appeared before a Mecklenburg County judge Friday. … Court records show Simpson posted bond for unrelated charges on Tuesday and was released from Mecklenburg County jail around 12:20 a.m. on Wednesday, a few hours before the deadly shooting. … Court records show Simpson pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter in Mecklenburg County Superior Court in August 2015 after originally being charged with first-degree murder in a 2013 case. He was sentenced to 73 to 100 months in prison and was released on parole in October 2020. … He also has a pending 2025 case involving charges of possession of a firearm by a felon, resisting a public officer and misdemeanor larceny.

What’s important to understand is that we’re not just talking about left-wing Soros-funded DA’s in isolation. Yes, the reason these criminals are getting out of prison is that they’re not white. They’re free to terrorize everyone else — including other non-white people — solely because of their skin color. That’s clear. But these prosecutors have the support of a very large demographic on the Left. And so do the violent thugs like Diquan Hunt. 

Take a look at this video response to Hunt’s supposedly “random” beatings. And pay particular attention to the comments on the right side of the screen. Notice how they’re almost all supportive of Diquan Hunt. They’re mocking the white women who were attacked. 

Watch:

Black man says that he supports the Black man that attacked 2 random WHITE Women for being WHITE.

He said that he was taking out the “White Trash”.

If you’re going to have a 65 IQ, then you might as well at least be a kind, compassionate, morally upright person, so that there’s something good about you, some kind of redeeming quality. To be incredibly stupid, and also a bad person — as the guy in this video clearly is, along with most of the commenters — is the worst of all worlds. 

“My empathy for them has ran dry,” one comment said. “I don’t care either,” said another. “Sounds like a little ancestral karma.”

This is how Karmelo Anthony raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for stabbing a white teenager to death at a track meet in cold blood. 

There is a groundswell of support in this country for executing white people. And you don’t have to spend a lot of time on social media to see the evidence.

This rhetoric is not considered extreme among Democrats. Their elected officials are saying the same thing. A Tennessee state lawmaker named Joe Towns just posted this statement on Facebook:

Black people are being hung around the country because of Trump’s rhetoric. Keep your GUN WITH YOU AND SHOOT ON SIGHT. DEAL WITH  THE SYSTEM LATER. HOWEVER,  STAY LIVE!! IT’S TIME TO START HANGING THOSE THAT ARE HANGING YOU! SCREW THE RULES , THEY DON’T WORK FOR YOU, NEVER HAVE. YOU MUST F THEM UP, NO EXCEPTIONS. EVIL RACIST BITCHES!! SAVE YOUR OWN DAMN LIFE AND DON’T TRUST LAW ENFORCEMENT!

That’s a reference to a case where a black woman was found hanging from a tree behind a vacant home in Mississippi. There’s no evidence it was a lynching as opposed to a suicide (which is how all of these cases turn out). But he’s using the woman’s death as an excuse to encourage anti-white violence. He’s telling black people to start hanging white people and shooting them on sight.

The people who tell you that “white supremacy” is the greatest threat facing this country cannot point to any prominent white person, anywhere, who talks like this about black people. Meanwhile, anti-white racism is celebrated right out in the open, by elected officials. And it’s also celebrated in the culture as well.

Leftist judges and DAs are intent on springing violent criminals loose so they can terrorize entire cities. Yes, most violent criminals are irredeemable, and they need to be locked away for the rest of their lives (if not put down on the spot). But all of these degenerates — all of these killers and low-lifes — are enabled by cowardice. The people who are being victimized are not nearly as ruthless as the people who are doing the victimizing.

The truth is that decades of propaganda from the civil rights era, and the lies about lynching and so on, have left Americans terrified of enforcing swift justice against the enemies of civilized society. And as long as that hesitation and cowardice remains, the violence — which is overwhelmingly committed by black criminals — will continue.

Millions of Americans just saw a black man, empowered by the Democrat Party, livestream the savage beating of a defenseless white woman. And like the murders of Brian Thompson and Charlie Kirk, Democrat voters cheered it on. Would they do the same if, say, a court livestreamed the sentence that Diquan Hunt deserves?

Would they be so excited by the prospect of terrorizing innocent people if, for once, the innocent people fought back? It’s truly hard to say. But in living memory, it’s never been attempted. Justice has been non-existent. It’s been passive, non-threatening, and non-lethal.

Starting with Diquan Hunt, and continuing with every single criminal who’s clearly incompatible with life outside of a cage, it’s time to change that.
