CP, has been preaching this a while.
The liberal loonybirds want to abolish prisons. They also want to abolish cash bail and claim that jail is racist. They sincerely believe that defunding the police and closing all the prisons will bring about a nirvana like utopia.
Liberal judges (they are all liberal) in Mecklenburg county routinely let career felons walk on little or no bail. The Mecklenburg DA dismisses cases at a rate of 9 in 10.
And so the final homicide of 2024 is a perfect example as to why this liberal thinking is dead wrong.
This is Diondre Bittle he was 33 when on December 30, 2024 he experienced a permanent dirt nap.
Mr. Bittle was a career criminal and felon and on the night he was murdered he should have been in the Mecklenburg County Jail awaiting trial on a habitual felon charge.
Bittle started his criminal career in high school thanks to the Charlotte Mecklenburg School System. Back in 2008 at the age of 18 was charged with robbery with a dangerous weapon, armed robbery and having a gun on campus. A year later he was convicted and sent to prison for 3 years and was released in April of 2012 but continued under post prison supervision which ended on January 13, 2013.
A month later in February 2013 he was arrested again for robbery and was convicted on June 6, 2013 but this time rather than an active prison sentence he was given probation.
On September 7, 2013 he was arrested on drug charges and again given probation.
Then on September 9, 2013 his probation on the February 2013 conviction was revoked and he begin a 3 month jail term. Bittle was released on Christmas Eve 2014.
In 2015 he was arrested and charged with Felony B&E (2 Counts) that occured on July 1, 2015.
In February of 2017 he was convicted of those two counts and the enhancement of Habitual Felon and sentenced to 6 years and 6 months in prison. He was released on September 25, 2023 having served nearly than 9 years of his life behind bars but remained under the supervision of his parole officer.
On August 11, 2024 he was arrested in Cabarrus County on a long list of motor vehicle violations.
At this point (August 12, 2024) his grandmother Natasha Asbury tried to intervene seeking help from the Cabarrus County Courts. Her "Petition for Adjudication of Incompetence" citing OCD, Schizophrenia, Manic Depressive Disorder and other issues was never heard.
Bittle's parole supervision ended on September 24, 2024.
Enter Sabrina Roth who on December 30, 2024 police say shot and killed Mr. Bittle

According to CMPD: On Monday, December 30, shortly after 9:15 p.m., officers responded to an assault with a deadly weapon call for service in the 8200 block of Dave McKinney Avenue. Upon arrival, officers discovered a male victim (Bittle) with a gunshot wound. The victim was pronounced deceased on scene by Medic.
On Thursday, January 2, 2025, VCAT (Violent Criminal Apprehension Team) arrested Roth. Officers transported Roth to the Law Enforcement Center (LEC) where she was interviewed by homicide detectives.
At the conclusion of this interview, Roth was transferred into custody of the Mecklenburg County Sheriff’s Office.
Roth is charged with Murder, Robbery with a Dangerous Weapon, Conspiracy to Commit Armed Robbery. She is currently being held without bond in the Mecklenburg County Jail.
Unconfirmed reports state that this was potentially a drug deal gone sideways. What is not clear is if CMPD Officers are still searching for a second suspect.
Cedar's Take:
What is clear is that Mr. Bittle should have been incarcerated. Not only for the good of society but for his own protection as well. The tragic failure of our courts, probation officers, the North Carolina prison system and frankly society as a whole to protect Mr. Bittle can not be dismissed.
Finally there is one more victim in this case Ms. Roth, who is also likely a life ended too soon.
For those that say good riddance to Mr. Bittle, I can't disagree. Death is an easy solution to a complex problem. But that's not an answer. Charlotte's homicide rate would be less than half if every felon who was murdered in 2024 was serving sentences that would have been handed down just a decade ago. Prison is not fun but incarceration saves lives.
Cedar,
ReplyDeleteCan you please do some investigative research into how much money the city of Charlotte / Mecklenburg County spends on dealing with scumbags like Mr Bittle from birth to death? Imagine how much better the city / county would be & how much money could be saved if this reoccurring problem could be solved or eliminated.
1014: we tried to give them condoms in High School.
DeleteThis is pretty interesting that his family tried to intervene. I wonder if this is more common than I thought? I'm not one to cry over a dead thug but still prayers for his grandmother.
ReplyDeleteOne less POS Thug I'm good with that!
ReplyDeleteIs it necessary to post his mugshot?
ReplyDeleteYes. He was a career criminal. Fuck em
DeleteIf you were prohibited from posting about blacks you'd have nothing to talk about.
ReplyDeleteSee the problem?
DeleteWhites commit crime just a much a blacks they just aren't targeted by the racist police as much.
ReplyDeletePer capita, your comment is statistically false. Blacks schools are the worst performing in the world, leading towards lack of better employment options.
Delete1656 you’re a moron lol educate yourself instead of living with a victim mentality, smooth brained imbecile
DeleteThat is absolutely 110% false. Have you ever seen the CMPD BOLO’s or emails or CFS? 90% black and it’s not even close.
DeleteCMPD is run by blacks.
DeleteBlack culture will never change they like the dysfunction and love the violence they don’t value life they are at war with themselves no one knows who their father is and they don’t care. Stealing is second nature hope they all kill and get killed
ReplyDeleteThen proceed to act like they’re victimized when they victimize themselves and everyone else
DeleteCedar you have it all wrong because you have white privilege and there's no way you will ever understand what it is like to be a black man on a Saturday night. These thugs have to act like this because if they don't they will be called out for trying to act white.
ReplyDeleteIf the 13% act like this for fear of being called out trying to act white, they have less collective intelligence than I gave them credit for. That’s the dumbest social construct I’ve ever heard.
ReplyDeleteAnyone see the sorry ass list of candidates that tested for the Lt. Assessment? Maybe 6 on there that are worth a shit.
ReplyDeleteGets worse with the higher rank
DeletePromote by default like last time
DeleteBeen that way for years. Hide behind a desk. Pass a test. Get a Promotion. Target the older cops in the office that know your embarrassing past.
