There is a segment who are self-reflecting and think this is some sort of mental break.

They feel sorry for her. They are pissed at the memes. etc...

We are evil people for seeing that she is actually self centered lying bitch. Who concocted a plan to escape her self-made situation.

Johnson: Dear Black girls, they will believe you next time, no matter what Carlee Russell did, or why

Feel what you feel. All of it.

Feel all that you poured into it. All the anxiety. All the fear. All the prayers. All of yourself you gave to what you believed was a nightmare—one that gripped us all. She was gone. What happened? Where is she?

Dear God, many young Black girls thought … it could’ve been me.

..

Feel all you feel now, too, young sisters.

Feel all you feel now that your trust has been crushed, it seems. Now that your fear and anxiety were abused, it seems. That your deep, heartfelt concern was brushed off with little more than a shrug, it seems.

That your prayers were mocked, it seems.

..

It could’ve been me.

It could have been my daughter. Our daughters. Any of ours.

You feel it all, Including unapologetic anger—understandably.

Anger at all you poured in.

Try to feel this, too: Empathy.

..

Empathy for decisions not yet fully explained. For decisions that now seem nonsensical and abhorrent. For decisions that pierced us all.

Anger that you now wonder, understandably: If it happens again, if it’s me, will they believe me?

Will the community rally and search for me?

Will law enforcement move heaven in search of the hell that may have gripped me, grabbed me, or worse.

Be assured, sisters, they will.

Just as Hoover police did for Russell; law enforcement, wherever it may be, will believe you. It will unleash all resources to find you. To find you safe. To find you alive, all will pray.

..

Be assured, the community will believe you, too.

It will fear for you and mobilize to find you, to find you safe. To find you alive, all will pray.

They will believe you because they must. Because we must.

Because we must not allow the days when Black girls and women went missing in the dark absence of media coverage, when local law agencies too often shrugged and searched no harder than someone looking for loose change in a couch.

Because we must continue to honor Aniah Blanchard, whose horrific abduction and murder changed us. Changed how we respond when a young Black woman vanishes.

We must not let what Carlee Russell did—or why—diminish what all we must continue to do when it happens again.

No matter what we ultimately learn. Or don’t.

More propaganda at link. The whitewash of this incident has begun.

The author is a well known commie/race baiter.

IMO, what I'm seeing is those who got emotionally invested in this thing and swallowed it whole without giving it a second of thought, are now embarrassed.

So a certain percentage of those folks are now falling into the empathy zone, like the opinion piece I posted.

They are wanting to blame it on a mental break, they are trying to find some way out for this chick to not face legal issues for a stunt she planned and executed.

They want her to face no responsibility for her actions. Zero, nada, none.

 someone has found probably a couple dozen of her twitter posts that have not aged well.
