This week on To You & Yours, we’re talking about a disturbing shift in the way the internet processes crime, accountability, and sympathy.
We start with the recent Times Square shooting, the mental health conversation surrounding it, and the strange reaction online after police shot the alleged perpetrator. Somehow, the conversation quickly became about sympathy for the person accused of creating the tragedy while the actual victim became an afterthought. When did empathy for criminals start replacing empathy for the people they hurt? We get into the growing culture of explaining away perpetrators while their victims barely get mentioned.
Then… we have to talk about Daejon Love.
Because apparently after an entire summer of women joking about wanting a “scamming-ass” man, God said: say less.
We take a deep dive into one of the wildest romance scam sagas in recent memory: the fake NFL lifestyle, the money, the women, the luxury image, the unbelievable stories, and the question everybody keeps asking: HOW DID THIS WORK?!
Did social media create the perfect environment for a scammer like Daejon? Were women falling for the man or the lifestyle he represented? And at what point does wanting the fantasy make you ignore every red flag waving directly in your face?
Mental health. Misplaced empathy. Romance scams. Internet culture. Accountability.
