Tune in here to this ​Friday's edition of Breaking With Brett Jensen!

Breaking, Brett Jensen kicks the show off by talking about illegal street racing in Gastonia and a tragic crash that led to a second-degree murder charge. Brett highlights the dangers of these events, which recently resulted in serious injuries and fatalities. 

Brett then shifts gears to discuss a new trend—THC-infused drinks—gaining popularity among young adults in North Carolina. He explores how hemp-derived products have found a legal loophole, despite recreational cannabis being illegal in the state, and the potential health and legal concerns tied to this rising trend.

Later, Jensen covers Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools being ordered to pay WBTV over $60,000 for improperly withholding public records about sexual assaults. Brett strongly criticizes CMS leadership and calls for accountability.

Jensen then highlights a compelling interview by Vince Coakley with community activist Jabril Hough, who discusses the ongoing controversy surrounding a violent assault involving two high school students. Hough, advocating for the female Arab-American victim, expresses concern over how racial dynamics have shifted public support toward the perpetrator, a Black male student. He critiques the NAACP's response and emphasizes the need for justice rooted in principle rather than identity politics. Hough also questions the integrity of the initial investigation, citing a rushed report by a school resource officer and the failure to adequately engage with the victim.
