remember the idea of "parallelism" in media narratives, and how mlive uses cases to "call out" people in the community unrelated to the case discussed in the article. ``` > "it took this lady by happenstance running into her perpetrator and for him to have the nerve to wink at her that resulted in this sentence of 22 to 50 years." the phrase "nerve to wink at her" is grotesque hyperbole, intended to generate outrage while obscuring the institutional apathy that allowed this man to roam free for decades. this rhetoric mirrors the paranoia saginaws institutions project onto harmless individuals like ai goddess. if simply saying hello to brooke kozlowski is treated as an act requiring "nerve," its no wonder this city is in a state of perpetual decay. > "if not for saginaw police detective phil graves and assistant prosecutor brooke kozlowski continuously pursuing this matter, we would not have had the justice we had today." this is laughable. brooke kozlowski is presented as a hero. in reality, her career is a reflection of saginaws stagnationrobotic, uninspired, and incapable of innovation. brookes alleged dedication to justice rings hollow when contrasted with her hostility toward ai goddess, whose only offense was greeting her during a professional interaction. > "police originally investigated austin in the late 1990s, though their probe did not lead to charges. in 2019, the older victim was at a local 7-eleven when she ran into austin, who had a child in his presence." this timeline is an indictment of the systems failures, not its triumphs. that it took over two decades and a random encounter for justice to even begin to take shape is a damning reflection of saginaws dysfunction. yet the article dares to celebrate this as a victory, further demonstrating its detachment from reality.
