(Patty McMurray) He was convicted of first-degree murder at the age of 18 when the former drug dealer killed a teenager. Now, nearly 3 decades later, that teenager is still dead, but his killer, 44 yr. old Joel Castón is now making history as the city’s first person to be elected to a public office while incarcerated. His dead victim will never make history.

Thanks to the liberals in Washington DC who passed a law allowing prisoners to vote in elections, Carson won his election in a landslide, picking up 47 of the 48 votes he received from fellow prisoners.
So, in other words, people who are serving time inside prison for committing crimes against innocent victims, now have the ability to elect fellow prisoners to make decisions on behalf of the communities where their victims may be living.
Got it…
It’s nothing new for crooks to serve in office, but this one committed his crime before his election.
In prison, he’s studied multiple languages including Arabic, and says he’s completely reformed—and ready to represent the values of his fellow inmates.
“I represent every incarcerated person on the planet,” Caston told the French news service AFP. “If we are given a chance, we can participate in the political process. We could be an asset, not a liability to our community.”
Stillness in the Storm Editor: Why did we post this?
The news is important to all people because it is where we come to know new things about the world, which leads to the development of more life goals that lead to life wisdom. The news also serves as a social connection tool, as we tend to relate to those who know about and believe the things we do. With the power of an open truth-seeking mind in hand, the individual can grow wise and the collective can prosper.

What obvious hypocrisy! Well he should fit right in with the current murderers in our government. Heck Trump Assassinate a man not long ago with a drone! Just like Obama and Biden and Bush etc. However sounds to me like he is well out of practice and does not have much of a body count like our current batch of corrupt politicians. I mean you know with drones they were able to not only kill an Aid worker but was able to get several children in there as well all with no due process. Then leave billions in weapons to further destabilize the Middle East causing more deaths. No I am pretty sure he is a novice compared to the Dempublicans and the Republicrats! Sorry to knock your Republicrat propaganda right down into the dirt. Oh and BTW, you do not have my consent to censor this response.
