SUMMARY: Rudy Lopez, a 20-year-old, was tragically killed by a stolen car driven by Austin Coleman in Little River on September 19, 2023. Lopez, on his way to work, was intentionally struck three times and then left behind as Coleman cleaned the car before his arrest. His parents, Rolando and Rosalba, visiting from Guatemala, struggle with their grief while seeking justice for their son. They feel that race played a role in the tragic incident, though the arrest report makes no mention of it. Despite South Carolina lacking a hate crime law, they remain determined to fight for justice.

The parents of Rudy Alexander Salguero Lopez, a 20-year-old killed in Horry County, are grappling with an unimaginable loss as they seek justice for their son.

Rudy was killed on September 19, 2023, when Austin Coleman intentionally ran him over three times with a stolen vehicle in a parking lot off Highway 9 and 57 near Little River, according to an arrest warrant. https://wpde.com/news/local/parents-seek-justice-for-20-year-old-intentionally-ran-over-in-horry-co-parking-lot-rudy-alexander-salguero-lopez-unimaginable-loss-justice-little-river-arrest-warrant

SUMMARY: This month, states and private organizations requested the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals to overturn a district court’s decision permitting the Biden administration’s expanded Title IX rules, which include gender identity in sex discrimination laws. Alabama, Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina seek a preliminary injunction against the Department of Education, arguing they are similarly situated to states already granted relief. The Department contends that noncontroversial aspects of the rule should go into effect. Legal battles have blocked the implementation of the rule in over half of the states and many educational institutions, delaying enforcement amid ongoing litigation.

SUMMARY: In a poignant statement to the committee, a father advocated against the release of his children’s mother, who is serving a life sentence for their deaths. Reflecting on the lasting emotional trauma, he expressed that her actions were intentional and that she had never shown remorse. The father, who revealed that the grief led him to contemplate suicide, argued that the 30-year sentence was insufficient, given the severity of the crime. He pleaded for the committee to deny her release, vowing to attend future hearings to ensure justice for his children.

David Smith, the father of 3-year-old Michael and 14-month-old Alexander, spoke in opposition at the parole hearing for his ex-wife Susan Smith, who murdered the two boys in 1994.

SUMMARY: South Carolina Republican Rep. Nancy Mace has introduced the Protecting Women’s Private Spaces Act, aiming to prevent men, including those identifying as women, from using women’s private spaces like bathrooms, locker rooms, and prisons on federal property. Mace, responding to critics, emphasized the need to protect women’s safety and privacy. Her proposal aligns with similar views from President-elect Donald Trump on keeping men out of women’s spaces. Mace has won her past three elections, solidifying her credibility. Heritage Action supports her stance, stating it’s a step towards restoring truth by protecting sex-specific facilities.
