I wonder how “unfair” it is when parents have to explain to their kids they’re under arrest for allegedly trying to steal nearly half a million dollars.

In the official investigation, prosecutors said they found several goods claimed as stolen had simply been returned for refunds. Officers recovered multiple items from the Osefo home that were reported stolen and alleged that the couple are “burdened by substantial debt,” apparently suggesting that it was an insurance scheme aimed at paying off some bills. They also said there was little or no evidence of any kind of break-in. A home alarm system was armed at the time the Osefos claimed there was a burglary, but it never went off to indicate an intruder, prosecutors said.
A representative for the Osefos said in a statement to media that they “look forward to their day in court.” Conspicuously absent was any kind of denial or assertion of innocence. That’s interesting!

Coincidentally, at about the same time that the Osefo affair broke out, the superintendent for a public school district in Atlanta was placed on leave and indicted for, according to federal prosecutors, steering school system contracts to friends and then receiving tens of thousands of dollars in kickbacks. And as any of this relates to Wendy Osefo, The New York Times provided some context as to what made the superintendent, Devon Horton, of national interest:
Dr. Horton joined the Evanston school district, District 65, in the summer of 2020, at the height of the pandemic and the country’s racial reckoning after the murder of George Floyd. He was vocal in his push to promote racial equity and close achievement gaps in the district, which is 40 percent white, 22 percent Black and 22 percent Hispanic, with wide gaps in test scores.

In short, both Osefo and Horton appear to be the typical con artists who have been found time and time again to lead the Black Lives Matter movement and preach its toxic gospel — the ones who swindle innocent people out of every cent they can to afford themselves lavish lifestyles, expensive homes, and private jet travel. They do it all while simultaneously claiming themselves to be victims and passively aggressively intimidating would-be critics with the ever-present threat of branding them racists.
Consider Osefo and Horton to be helpful reminders that BLM is a movement of grifters.
