    • [03:11] (Mobile County DA): "It's absolutely ridiculous, frankly, it's horrible that a dispute of any kind could lead to a murder, much less a murder of two people."

2. Reflections on Peopling & Trust

• Charlamagne expresses caution about interacting with others:
  • [01:53]: "Kedra Davis is one of the reasons that I love peopling but I just don't trust people. Because you just don't know what people be on."

  • [06:48]: "I truly feel like extremely long eyelashes are the signs of a potential murderer. Because you walking around here with eyelashes like Mr. Snuffleupagus, and we supposed to be comfortable in your presence."

We live a life where we bite our tongue based off who we may offend. We never will say. Give it to him. I want to go back to playing my old intro. Are a donkey.

[A]

That is why Charlamagne is here.

[B]

Don't look at me like that, man. Some donkey today just saw themselves on the Breakfast Club. Okay, Charlemagne, who you giving donkey of the day to today? Why you look at me like that when I say I want to play my old intros?

[A]

I don't know.

[B]

You know why you can't. Why Netflix.

[A]

It's too. I agree.

[B]

But I love your old intros though.

[A]

They fire.

[B]

I want my old intros please. Now dog here Today for Tuesday, July 14th goes to a 29 year old mobile, Alabama woman named Kenedra Davis.

[D]

Yes.

[B]

What? I'm sorry. Shut up. Kedra Davis is one of the reasons that I love peopling but I just don't trust people. Okay? Because you just don't know what people beyond. So it impacts your peopling skills. Because when we out in the world people and it's possible to run into folks like Kra Davis. And this is what none of us want for our lives. Okay? Kedra Davis is in jail, ladies and gentlemen, and she needs to be there for the rest of her natural born life because allegedly on Friday, she decided to take the life of a 23 year old mother of two who was also pregnant at the time of her death. Okay? A woman named China Hickman. Rest in peace to China Hickman, man. Sending healing energy to China Hickman's family. Now, what could a pregnant mother of two have done to Kenidra Davis for Kanidra to murder her? Let's go to NBC15 for the report, please.

[E]

A young mobile mother who was pregnant with her third child was shot and killed at her Ziegler Boulevard home Friday night. We say Kendria Davis murdered 23 year old China Hickman.

[F]

This is tragic and should never have happened.

[E]

Hickman's brother says the dispute stemmed from a $15 deposit Davis wanted refunded for a lash appointment on the day she died. Hickman offered a $20 lash special on social media and encouraged interested customers to send her a direct message to book an appointment. Her brother says Hickman was very busy on Friday and believes she was running late.

[F]

It's absolutely ridiculous, frankly, it's horrible that a dispute of any kind could lead to a murder, much less a murder of two people. And so my heart goes out to the victim's family. This is tragic and should never have happened.

[E]

Mobile County District Attorney Keith Blackwood says Davis charge has now been upgraded from murder to capital murder, alleging she killed both Hickman and her unborn child.

[B]

$15. A $15 deposit she wanted refunded for a lash appointment led to murder. You still want to play a game and guess what race it is? Okay, let's discuss your uncle Charlotte tells y' all all the time to do your jail math. Okay, you have to stop, pause, breathe, and ask yourself, is what. Is what you are about to do worth the time and money you are going to have to spend? Okay, Kenidra, there is no jail mathematical equation where you get to do this, where any of this makes sense. Okay? Wanting a $15 refund for a lash appointment and not getting it should not trigger you to pull the trigger. Okay? This young lady, China Hickman, was out here trying to make an honest living. You heard in the news report the day she died. She advertised the 20 last special on social media and encouraged interested customers to send her a DM to book an appointment. Her brother says she feels like China was busy that day and believes she was running behind on appointments. And I guess that's what led to the issue. I don't care if she was running behind on appointments. Nobody should be dead over no $15 lashes. And this is why people in is so hard. Because anything involving people can sadly lead to situations like this because you never know when someone's crazy can be activated and what could activate it. Okay, I really want to know what the abolished prison crowd thinks of a story like this, because I can't think of a place for Kedra to be other than prison. Okay, well, hell, according to scripture, that's more than likely next. And this isn't her first brush with the law. She's faced charges including harassment, reckless endangerment, criminal mischief, and disorderly conduct. In March, she was charged with four counts of harassment for allegedly throwing glass plates at children ages 9, 8, 7, and 5. And because of those pending charges, the judge denied her bond yesterday morning. Nah, judge. It's not just the previous charges. Even if she didn't have those previous charges, she should never get the opportunity to live amongst us ever again. Okay? It's over, all right? Her people into the free human days are done, and rightfully so. Everyday disagreements should not lead to something irreversible like a person being dead. Okay? China is dead, all right? The baby in her stomach is dead, and her two kids are without a mother because she couldn't get her because she couldn't install some lashes. Like, what are we talking about here? All right, if you can't handle a 15 disagreement. What the hell was that? Just fell.

[G]

Oh.

[B]

If you can't handle a 15 disagreement without violence. The real debt isn't financial. It's emotional. Okay? Learn to regulate your emotions before your emotions cause the prison system to be regulating the rest of your life. Please let Remy Ma give Kenidra Davis the biggest. Hee haw.

[A]

Hee haw. Hee haw. You stupid motherf cker. You dumb.

[B]

All right, well, thank you for that donkey today, Jess.

[A]

You all right,

[B]

man? Now I want to know how long. How long her eyelashes are. Like, I want to know how long she'd be getting her eyelashes, because I have a theory. I don't trust anyone with eyelashes over 13 mm. Because why? You know what I'm saying? Like, why? It just makes me uncomfortable. I truly feel like extremely long eyelashes are the signs of a potential murderer. Because you walking around here with eyelashes like Mr. Snuffaluffagus, and we supposed to be comfortable in your presence. I don't trust nobody with eyelashes like an anime character. Not at all. Not even a little bit. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey today, sir.

[A]

Now mine is only 11 mm.
