    **One Bad Night: You Ain’t the Only One Hungry!** DeShon Harshaw went to a Highland Park, Michigan, restaurant for something to eat.

Detective Lightskinn walks through the confrontation, the investigation, and what happened to the men involved in DeShon’s death. **Watch “Deshon Harshaw Story,” the documentary discussed in this episode:** https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9poXJQ9ZKk **Content warning:** This episode discusses fatal violence and contains explicit language.

    Love, Lies & Alibis: Who Put Slavery on the Wedding Vision Board?

    How the f**k did slavery make it onto the wedding vision board? Detective Lightskinn gets into the photo shoots that pissed her off, the history being romanticized, and why “we’re in love” doesn’t put your choices above criticism. Plus, her personal take on dating, feeling fetishized, and wanting a partner who understands without needing a whole explanation. Content disclaimer: This episode discusses slavery, rape, forced reproduction, and racial fetishization. Expect explicit language and angry, unfiltered commentary. Detective Lightskinn’s dating preferences are her own—not a judgment of every interracial relationship. If you believe slavery was a choice or “wasn’t that bad,” turn this shit off now. We are not debating the humanity or suffering of enslaved people, and slavery apologism will not be entertained in the comments.

SIR, THIS IS A BANK, NOT APPLEBEE'S CARSIDE TO GO! 💀 But wait until you find out this wasn't even Albert's FIRST bank robbery! This repeat offender in stupidity had already served time for robbing a bank, and apparently decided to give his criminal career another shot.
