5 min read

In July 2026, a man named Dequan Hunt live-streamed himself beating women on the streets of Charlotte, North Carolina. One victim suffered brain damage as he stood over her body and taunted her. Hunt had been arrested more than a dozen times since 2012, including multiple arrests for assault on a female, violating domestic violence protective orders, discharging a firearm into an occupied property, and threatening a man with a hatchet and a gun at a light rail station. He had spent a total of 196 days in jail across his entire adult criminal career. The day he was sentenced for the hatchet incident — 89 days after his arrest — he was released with credit for time served.

What you'll learn

  • 1 (00:00) **Episode Introduction and the Dequan Hunt Case** - Walsh introduces the case of Dequan Hunt, a black man in Charlotte, NC, who livestreamed himself violently assaulting white women, a story the mainstream media has ignored.
  • 2 (01:56) **The Pattern of Targeted Violence** - Walsh argues that Hunt's attacks are not random, as he specifically targeted defenseless white women and was enabled by the city's black District Attorney, Spencer Merriweather.
  • 3 (05:53) **A Tale of Two Images: The Zero-Sum Game of Society** - Walsh contrasts a photo of a cheerful young victim with a mugshot of Dequan Hunt to illustrate the fundamental choice society makes between protecting innocents and coddling criminals.
  • 4 (09:34) **Dequan Hunt's Criminal Record: A History of Dismissals** - Walsh presents court records obtained by Matt Van Swall, showing a decade-long pattern where Hunt was repeatedly arrested for violent crimes against women, only for the charges to be dismissed.
  • 5 (13:28) **The "Time Served" Tactic and a Victim's Testimony** - A victim describes how Hunt threatened him with a hatchet and gun, but the DA gave Hunt a plea deal for "time served" (89 days), despite his extensive record.
  • 6 (16:29) **More Crimes, Suspended Sentences, and Zero Additional Prison Time** - Walsh details Hunt's additional crimes from 2019-2025, including discharging a firearm, breaking and entering, and assaulting a police officer, all of which resulted in suspended sentences or "time served."
  • 7 (22:23) **The Case for Abolishing "Time Served"** - Walsh argues that the concept of "credit for time served" should be abolished, as pre-trial detention is not punishment but a holding pattern before guilt is adjudicated.
