Lance Corporal Daniel Montano, 21, was stabbed in the neck in downtown Wilmington, NC on Easter Sunday. He died the next day. He had enlisted in October 2024. He was a Marine. The man charged with his murder is Davy Spencer, 47. What follows is not opinion. It is public record. —— 1995: Spencer's first criminal record. He was 16. 1996: Felony hit and run. Three counts of felony breaking and entering. Prison. 2004: Attempted drug trafficking. Assault on a female. Prison. 2006: Assault on a female. Wanton injury to property. Prison. 2009: Assault on a female. Prison. 2011: Drug possession. Communicating threats. Prison. 2013–2014: Multiple counts of selling heroin. Multiple counts of possession with intent to distribute. 2015: Convicted as a Habitual Felon — a designation reserved for those with three or more prior felony convictions. Under North Carolina law, a Class C Habitual Felon conviction carries a maximum sentence of 19 years. DA Timothy Severo negotiated a plea deal. Judge Jay D. Hockenbury accepted it. Spencer received a minimum term of 7 years, 3 months. —— January 17, 2021: Spencer is released. January 17, 2022: Parole ends. He is fully free. 2023: Arrested twice in New Hanover County. Given unsecured bonds of $1,000 and $100 respectively — meaning he paid nothing to walk out. He skipped both court dates. Both bond forfeitures were entered against him. He never paid. Nothing else happened. July 31, 2025 — 8 months before the murder: Spencer is arrested by the Wilmington Police Department and charged with resisting a public officer, marijuana possession, and assault on a government official or employee. DA Ben David's office negotiated a plea deal. Judge James H. Faison III accepted it. The assault charge was permanently dismissed. Spencer pleaded guilty to the two minor misdemeanors. His sentence: 27 days — which he had already served in pretrial detention. He walked out of court that same day. —— April 5, 2026 — Easter Sunday, 2:00 AM: Spencer stabbed Daniel Montano in the neck in the 100 block of North Front Street in downtown Wilmington. April 6, 2026: Montano died from his injuries. He was 21 years old. He was from San Bernardino, California. He had served his country for less than two years. —— Every fact in this post was pulled from North Carolina public court records and the NC Department of Adult Correction database. Every name is a matter of public record. This is what the public record looks like when no one is watching. It's why I built CourtWatch.us ...More to come... Rest in peace, Lance Corporal Montano.
Brothers and sisters of Ireland, 🇮🇪 We gather not in silence, but in strength. We gather not in hate, but in hope. And we gather not to divide, but to demand. For the past number of days, our country has been brought to a standstill. Not by chaos without cause, but by people pushed to the edge. Farmers, workers, drivers, families, ordinary Irish people have taken to the roads, to the streets, to the gates of this nation’s lifelines because the cost of simply living has become too much to bear. They are not there for attention. They are there because they cannot afford not to be. Fuel prices have surged to unsustainable levels, driven by global crises and policies beyond the control of ordinary people. And yet, it is the ordinary people who are expected to carry the burden. They tell us support has been given. They tell us measures are in place. They tell us to be patient. But patience does not fill a tank. Patience does not keep a business alive. Patience does not put food on the table. Across Ireland, roads have been blocked, cities brought to a halt, and supply lines disrupted. Fuel depots, ports, even the country’s only oil refinery have been targeted in protest. Not out of malice but out of desperation. And now we see the response. The government condemns the protests. They speak of disruption, of law and order, of consequences. They warn of penalties and even bring in the Defence Forces to assist. But where was this urgency before? Where was this response when people were crying out for help? We ask not for chaos. We ask not for division. We ask for fairness. We ask for a government that listens before the country grinds to a halt. We ask for action before people are forced onto the streets to be heard. Because let us be clear: These protests did not appear out of nowhere. They are the result of years of pressure, rising costs, and people feeling ignored. You, in government, we ask you now!! Why does it take nationwide disruption before you listen? Why are workers and families pushed to breaking point before action is taken? Why must people blockade their own country just to be heard? We are not extremists. We are not criminals. We are citizens. And we are pissed of being ignored. Those standing on the roads today those sitting in tractors and trucks through the night those sacrificing income to make a point they are not the enemy of this country. They are the voice of it. And yes you best believe disruption is real. People are delayed, services affected, and frustration is growing. But that is what happens when a government stops listening and the people are left with no other choice. This is a peaceful movement. But it is a powerful one. And it carries a message that cannot be ignored! A country cannot function when its people cannot afford to live in it. So we say again: Serve your people first, or step aside. This is not your Ireland to manage from a distance. This is our Ireland, lived in every day by those now standing in protest. And until there is real action, real engagement, and real change the voices on those roads will not fade. They will grow louder.

I can’t believe how hard Tucker just went at Trump and he is legitimately a modern American hero for doing it.
If you can't see that he has gone insane I can't help you anymore.
