Rape Victim Uses Grubhub To Send Plea Message For Rescue
way to stay alert. 💯 💪 👌
That’s one way of snitching
This is why you should always stay alert. You never know who may need help, I hope that guy stays locked up for a long time
@MDT 123 MVP I agree there but sadly that ain’t my decision so I said locked up
Yeah stay alert cause she was SNITCHING
Bless 👏
That was clever
Be very careful when meeting people online..!
@I’m Him
Are you the guy or something ?
@My Man He’s either an incel that also hates women or a child trying to be edgy. He seems to have posted the same comment all over the story.
@My Man i think it might be, he says this on all threads. I reported him for misinformation
well here is a time always read and follow the order
good
Meeting people online is never, ever a good idea. Just NO!
@Ruthie Bella preach
@I’m Him you’re joking, right? 🙄
@Ruthie Bella report that person, he says it on every thread
When you advertise this situation if the perpetrators also can see the report, the victim may have no opportunity to use this method.
When you’re desperate you will always find a way.
That victim grew up snitching that’s why she was so creative enough to snitch her way out
@I’m Him wtf
Thank you and GOD BLESS❣️🙏😇
im so glad they heard her out and helped….this is crazy and we need more people like this. 💜✨
I’m glad they read and took action. It’s scary how many people could’ve seen it and still choose to do nothing. Be safe!! Bless them for helping this unfortunate woman.
That makes her a snitch
i would’ve read that like HUH? anyways here’s your napkins
Honey keep the napkin, you need it for the egg on your face🤔
The luck of the Irish! This women victim was lucky, that Irish women and Mexican man couple were on point with the notes! I think if it were Asian or American Whites business nothing would of happen, as a Asian male I say this! Also only 5k from Grub hub?? COME ON!
I’m an Asian American restaurant owner and if I saw something like this, I would definitely call the police. Stop trying to throw shade on people including your own.
As a white male born in the United States, I most certainly would have done something to help this woman. Don’t presume to know the minds of everyone, just because you wouldn’t help, doesn’t mean everyone else wouldn’t help.
Can we agree that short people are pretty sketchy? And tall people arent any better.
I KNOW that was an expensive message to send. Glad she had money in her account.
How is it possible criminals can always meet up online with people yet i can’t even get a tinder match?😒
Lol
Amazing.
Wow
There is good in the world you just have to find it or make it °~•.☆.•~°
A happy ending and well deserving a reward too.
Thank you, “Lester Holt.” ♥️
Very smart and brave of the young lady, I’m glad she came out of this ok.. the restaurant and its employee did a great job
She wrote that in the delivery instructions for the driver, not even in the food instructions, so it’s great that the restaurant employee paid attention to the delivery instructions because I’m sure many restaurant workers don’t.
I think that amount of words in the additional notes would catch your eye especially if there is usually nothing there
They said it was a he
🙏🌺🙏🌺🙏🌺🙏🌺🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Hooray
Well that’s what happens when little white girls end up meeting with old black bois.
Show us the criminal!!!
Why he is one of the usual suspects, they can’t do that that would be profiling
Irish boss!!! Good woman.
How about the inflation news?
🤦🏽♀️
good, they were able to help!
what does come with the cones mean?
🙄I’m sure the perp is out on bond by now.
#ThatsGLUEBaby!!!💫🔥💥♨️💯☄✊🏾🙏🏽
Great heads up!
Wow. Glad she thought of this.
Wow wow wow
😳
Smart decision. My heart goes out to all victims.
Typical case , why women keeps meet strangers ?? and they start crying after that
Awesome story! It’s great to hear GOOD NEWS for once!.. Great job Chipper Truck Cafe!
Great work people God bless you all my prayers go out to the young lady
I can see it now. Victim calls a place like Grubhub. They send the police. Police have to shoot the criminal. Criminals family sues Grubhub and wins a couple million dollars.
I work in takeout and when doordash comes in, honestly not everyone reads the personal notes they can send, sometimes they kind of tune it out. & I know it’s bad but they’re taking our tips, our mangers tell us to read it all but not everyone listens. Thank y’all for paying attention and saving her
Luckily my messages only say “Don’t look in my bag” or “Don’t forget my plastic ware”😂😂😂😂 Nothing 911 worthy yet and speaks volumes delivering in Miami
Bet the dude who’s facing punishment for kidnapping was white. But they won’t show his face though…
Stuff like this always genuinely confuses me. If they could order food why were they unable to call or text 911? I’m just trying to understand.
The kidnapper probably didn’t realize the field for additional notes could be used this way.
He’d hear her calling 911. Texting 911 is not available in all areas. She could have texted a group of friends or family to call 911 too. She used what was available in that moment, I guess.
I’m assuming it was his account on his phone, because the reporter said his name was on the account. In another interview the store owner said there were spelling mistakes in the note, like someone wrote it extremely quickly. So I’m guessing the victim had a sec or two when he wasn’t looking to write that. 🤔
Why was the abducted woman?? Does anyone know?
Nice story.
👏👏👏👏👏👏 yes.
So glad she is safe!
Amen
Crazy
Maybe next time don’t meet a stranger at their place?
💪❤
Why does Bronx look like they’re living in 2003
the goodness of God has an everlasting judgment amen 🙏
Just not enough goodness to keep women out of the hands of deviants, eh?
I wouldn’t cancel the order I mean she did get a service done $20 is fair
So what does the perp look like? there could be other victims. ESAD!!!!
This is dumb to put it up on media to let all the kidnappers know now how to stop it from happening.
And how would you propose they get the suggestion out to all the potential victims?
@Elizabeth R most DMAgencies know
Wow — this is very impressive — she was able to hold it together enough to think of this plan. Excellent idea, and thoughts and prayers go out to her. Love from Texas.💝
What a story! Great to hear she was saved. Side note: The Chipper Truck Cafe food looks delicious.
God is good. ✝️
My Lord my God bless her dear heart
Dating someone online. Dating is supposed to include a recognition from somone you know knows this person some way. Which includes the other person knows family members or an address to be able to locate a person if something weird happens or a crime is committed. Job interviews come with references why wouldn’t dating? That is why your father or mother use to say I need to meet the family. You need to leave a trail. Be careful and wise. Cold turkey online dating leaves you without a trail for people to follow. Be safe.
i don’t understand
NBC executives promote and fund the liberal policies that creates 90% of chaos and crime in America then cant wait to put it on their tv show for ad revenue
Awrsome awesome efforts
A gun and a pitbull are a girl’s best friends.
Id take a German shepherd over either
That was smart glad the girl is safe now but y’all girls need to stay off that internet trying to find love whatever happened to the old school way boy meets girl in the streets 💯
Obviously this is a PSA about meeting people online.
They shoudnt really be showing this kinda giving away the victims only chances of survival…
Poor woman. I am glad that he was arrested and is going to pay for his crime.
THIS IS SO AWESOME
What an amazing restaurant! May they be blessed more and more!
They got the guy….where’s his picture? There could be other victims out there!!
I had food from there it’s pretty good
BRAVO BRAVO BRAVO❤️❣️🙏
Animals
Clear as day, it reads “Please call the police! He is going to K!** ME when you deliver (the food)! Come to the house with cops. PLEASE don’t make it obvious!”. I don’t wish i’ll on Anyone, but from the bottom of my heart, I want NOTHING GOOD to happen to Anyone who puts another person in the position where this is their only chance to stay alive! 😡😡
bless u angels
Smart young lady I’m so glad her quick thinking got her out of that horrible situation. God bless the restruant workers who helped.❤️
Smart move
Garbage human being, good job her and them 🙏
Why didn’t they describe the man they alled him by hi first name I assume Royal…I wonder if they would have done it if his name was Jimmy
Wow, this is sad but awesome!!!!
Thank you for saving her
Wow
Come with cones?
Thank God the person was dumb enough to allow their victim to order the food. Somebody didn’t watch Taken lol. Good for her👍🏽
Wow . I’m happy the woman is ok. I do doordash I always read the instructions. You just never know .
I’m sorry but that driver ain’t it. He should’ve called the cops since people are saying it was in the delivery instructions.
I’m glad grubhub gave them something. That was nice
If she gets pregnant the republicans will force her to give birth to her rapist’s baby.
