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 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

RhodeIslandOne
(5,042 posts)But no, now it is.
B2G
(9,766 posts)Long before the arrest today.
RhodeIslandOne
(5,042 posts)But the groundwork has been laid now.
Again, interesting about Pence, right?
B2G
(9,766 posts)There was just an arrest today. Before that they were hoping to find her. Alive.
SMH.
RhodeIslandOne
(5,042 posts)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?
B2G
(9,766 posts)For the girl's family. That's what I'm wondering.
RhodeIslandOne
(5,042 posts)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,
B2G
(9,766 posts)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.
RhodeIslandOne
(5,042 posts)The thread was started (by someone else) because the Trump trolls are here to fan it.

What number warrants coverage?

(7,681 posts)That is utter bullshit. You should really delete.

(38,458 posts)Didn't see the one in LBN. Now there are 4.
Is that enough for you?
B2G
(9,766 posts)Guess it's too many for you though.
Kingofalldems
(38,458 posts)There are now 4.
B2G
(9,766 posts)Guess I learned from the master.
Kingofalldems
(38,458 posts)Sad.
B2G
(9,766 posts)Don't be so modest.

Own it, part II.

(9,481 posts)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.
Kingofalldems
(38,458 posts)So a total of 5.

(9,481 posts)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.
LanternWaste
(37,748 posts)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.
