Marquis LeBlanc, who was murdered by Martin Haro in 2009. CREDIT: Jessica Corde, family photo Jessica Corde has lived every mother’s nightmare. Her 18-year-old son, Marquis LeBlanc, was brutally murdered in 2009 – beaten, stabbed in the heart, shot in the head, and stripped naked, his lifeless body left in the street, targeted simply because he was black and unknowingly showed up at the wrong party in suburban Los Angeles. Eventually, 10 men, members of the Tinto Killers gang, were convicted in Marquis’ murder in 2010.
At a Parole Suitability Hearing in February 2021, the ringleader, Martin Haro, allegedly told Parole Board Deputy Commissioners that he started a race riot while in prison during which he brutally beat a black inmate and that while beating that inmate Marquis LeBlanc was on his mind. Haro admitted to being involved with gangs while he was in prison. And, a report filed by a psychologist determined that Haro was at moderate risk of future violence. Inexplicably, Haro was still recommended for parole – a heartbreaking continuation of Corde’s nightmare.

Gavin Newsom reversed the parole board’s recommendation and Haro remains behind bars – for now. He’s again up for parole by August 2022, according to an email I received from the Board of Parole Hearings (BPH).
As much as BPH would like that to be the end of the story, it’s not. How did this happen? How can nearly an hour of crucial testimony just disappear and nobody cares? Why did this Deputy Commissioner feel so free to cruelly disregard a victim’s family? What would have happened had Corde not made […]

We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today.

But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
