I refuse to look it up, let me guess, they have one eye witness.

NOT NEWS, one murder is NOT NEWS

You can count on some things around here like absolute clockwork.


Murder
Murder is the unlawful killing of another human without justification or valid excuse, especially the unlawful killing of another human being with malice aforethought. Wikipedia


Until convicted, the death of someone is not a murder, it is ALLEGED murder, but until proven is is a death.

For instance if someone dies in a shooting it can be self defense, it can be any number of things, that is why you have trials.

MURDER is a term used based on guilt. That is a fact, I cant help those who dont understand that legal FACT

But the groundwork has been laid now.

Again, interesting about Pence, right?

There was just an arrest today. Before that they were hoping to find her. Alive.

SMH.

I brought up Pence visiting with the family.

You claimed no knowledge in another thread (I provided a link) and now don't seem interested in responding to it.

I wonder what that was all about?

I also do not want this turned into political bullshit. Because it is absolutely irrelevant to November.

But it will be. And don't act shocked when it does,

It would serve zero purpose other than to fan flames.

What frustrates me is the immediate jump to the political in this thread that frankly you started. So don't be overly surprised when they respond in kind.

Today, condolences should be enough.

The thread was started (by someone else) because the Trump trolls are here to fan it.

Incidents concerning particular demographics perpetrated by particular demographics simply don't get the perceived attention and advertising you want them to.

Own it, part II.

I mean, come on, have you ever seen the news media provide extensive coverage for a missing POC (unless they are wanted for a crime)? You would think POC never go missing.

only applies to white male Trump lackeys.

On a serious note though, Trump politicizing the murder is going to make it harder to find an impartial jury if this goes to trial.

And we're being told time and again that we shouldn't politicize the IA story by the very people who are salivating over the political implications of this so much, they want the IA story plastered all over at the expense of all else.

You shall know them by their fruits.
