Meet Michigan Judge Alexis G. Krot.
She humiliated, yelled at, & said she wished she could jail an elderly cancer patient who was fined for not cleaning up his property. “You should be ashamed of yourself,” the judge yelled to the man, who could barely breathe as he spoke.
The man’s son tried to explain to the judge that his 72-year-old father has been sick and unable to clean up the property. He asked if she could forgive the $100 fine that she imposed, and she yelled again: “Do you see that photo? That is shameful!” This was the photo. Image
Judge Alexis G. Krot serves the city of Hamtramck, Michigan. She graduated from a Catholic university and serves on a Catholic school board. I wonder what the priests, nuns, and Catholic community she serves with would think about her behavior on the bench.31stdistrictcourt.net/about_the_cour… Image
According to WDIV-TV: “The violation of the ordinance comes with a $100 fine. The family said they have cleared the property and will pay the fine.
As a judge Krot is not permitted to comment on this story.”

It appears that the last thing she yelled to the elderly man was: “you’re going to jail!”
About the elderly man: “Burhan Chowdhury and his family first came to the United States from Bangladesh in 2010, eventually settling full time in Michigan in 2014…They bought their current home in Hamtramck, located about 6 miles from downtown Detroit…” washingtonpost.com/nation/2022/01…

Feel good story of the day: A Louisiana man got a spam/scam call & told the scammer to call back if he wanted help. The caller did. What happened next led to a friendship/mentorship that’s changed the lives of 3 people, stretching from LA. to Ghana, Africa.
There was a go fund me set up after our story aired. gofundme.com/f/isaacs-educa…
Adding @HowardU & @HUPrez17 for awareness about their student and his story.

Today, I had the privilege of being present at the pardoning of Homer Plessey, the black man in New Orleans who took a stand by sitting down in a whites only train car in NOLA in 1892. The case ushered in decades of white supremacy. Plessey died a convict. Today, he is no longer.
Descendants of Plessy & Ferguson, the judge who convicted Plessey, were at the ceremony today along with a descendent of U.S. Supreme Court Justice John Marshall Harlan who was the loan dissenting voice in Plessy versus Ferguson which led to Jim Crow laws. cbsnews.com/news/louisiana…
The ceremony happened at the NOLA station where Homer Plessy boarded a whites only car in 1892. It was a set up. The citizens committee in New Orleans had plotted with Plessy & even the train company to stage this sit in as an act of civil disobedience.

CDC is shortening the recommended time for isolation from 10 days for people with COVID-19 to 5 days, if asymptomatic, followed by 5 days of wearing a mask when around others. cdc.gov/media/releases…
“Therefore, people who test positive should isolate for 5 days and, if asymptomatic at that time, they may leave isolation if they can continue to mask for 5 days to minimize the risk of infecting others.”

cdc.gov/media/releases…
“For people who are unvaccinated or are more than six months out from their second mRNA dose (or more than 2 months after the J&J vaccine) & not yet boosted, CDC now recommends quarantine for 5 days followed by strict mask use for an additional 5 days.” cdc.gov/media/releases…
