Once the photo of the suspect was released….the news coverage got pretty slim.

This must be that white supremacy thing Bidet keeps saying is the biggest threat to this country. 😂 My god him and his supporters are a special bunch.

[tcsprynce]

They gave someone 20 years for stealing another human and are surprised when he gets out and does it again. He was dumb when you put him in prison. It’s not like he became a genius while he was in there 🤦‍♂️ absolute scumbag

[SnakeDoctor]

Not shocked that he's black. Figures

How come headline doesn't read, "Black man arrested in TN woman's disappearance"?

Now that the demographic of the kidnapper is known, this story will go away after her body is found. She won't get a statue built of her, a mural painted, her name spray painted on the road, or have a street named after her.

[facehunter]

They should be torturing this animal for information on her location.. dead or alive! Tired of these demons having rights! They gave those up the second they did hurtful acts such as this.

Start pulling toenails!

[conner_b_griften]

I'm seeing a glaring commonality with the large percentage of mayhem and death happening lately and I believe it has now become statistically relevant and shall no longer be

[John-kxng]

And just think criminals are celebrated by memorials, statues etc.

[palerider]

I haven't seen the suspects picture on CNN.

[scaldedape]

And this will be the last we hear of this story because they don't want you to pick up on the otherwise very obvious patterns

[josecasta]

blacks, most protected and catered to demographics. Shame what happened to america.
