WOMEN ARE TRASHED. NO ONE CARES.

Another Woman, Another Dumpster. Are We Even Trying Anymore?
Columbia, SC – April 2nd, 2026. Let’s just state the obvious: women are apparently disposable now. Not in the metaphorical, societal sense we’ve been lamenting for decades, but literally. Another one found tossed like yesterday’s coffee grounds. Dominique Michelle Palmero Pohl. Found in a trash can. Behind a Q-Mart. Let that sink in.
Yes, another one. Apparently, 2024 was a banner year for disposing of women like unwanted refuse. Police conveniently “believe” Antonio Mark Celey, Jr. – an acquaintance of the victim, naturally – beat her to death then decided a garbage can was the appropriate final resting place. Brilliant. Truly inspired. He’s facing murder and “unauthorized removal of a body.” As if a permit is required for basic decency, which, let's be honest, this whole situation sorely lacked.
The details, as if details even matter at this point, reveal a “dispute.” A dispute! As if a disagreement justifies reducing a human being to trash. The call came in before 10 a.m. on April 11th, 2024. A leisurely start to a Thursday, apparently ruined by the sight of a woman’s body.
And now, just to rub salt in the wound, we have Spring Weems in Logan County. Found in another trash can. January 30th, 2026. This time, it’s the adopted son doing the discarding. Apparently, family ties offer no protection either. Authorities assure us they “believe” he acted alone. Oh, wonderful. A tidy little package of domestic horror.
Are we just supposed to accept this? Another woman, another garbage can, another conveniently labeled “domestic dispute” or “isolated incident”? It's a pattern, people. A grotesque, infuriating pattern. And the blasé reporting? The perfunctory investigations? It's insulting.
Don't bother with thoughts and prayers. Just start holding people – and the system that protects them – accountable. Because right now, all I see is a society perfectly content to throw women away.
